A Shadow from King’s Landing
As the day began to fade and the light grew dim. It was time for Lady Belina and Sir Tobias to turn their horses back toward the road home.
It was then, along the quiet path, that they encountered someone they had not expected.
Before them stood a strange man who presented himself as a farmer, yet displayed the swordsmanship of a trained knight. This alone was enough to raise eyebrows from both Belina and Sir Tobias.
Lord Cedric McDouglas once sat on the royal council during the reign of King Grigor, father of King Julien. After Grigor’s sudden death, he betrayed the crown and joined House Landgraab in their usurpation of Queen Magdalane. When the throne was reclaimed, Cedric fled King’s Landing and vanished into Henford, where he has remained in hiding.
Though Belina did not recognize his face, she understood his history the moment he spoke his name. Without hesitation, she ordered Sir Tobias to place him under arrest.
