You’ll rot in the dungeons for theft, you wretch!” She then turn to her grandmother's guard."By the saints? What you waiting for? Go tell my grandmother I am calling the city's watch for him.

The grand hall of Peckham Manor, quiet now, rang only with raised voices.The guests all gone to their various houses as it was starting to get a little dark. And the air, once thick with the scent of roasted meats and sweet honey wine, was now filled with family discord. At the center of the storm stood Lord Alistair and his wife, Lady Gwyneth, their faces pale under the flickering light of a dozen candelabras. Lord Aethelred, along with Lady Eleanor, pointed fingers, their voices cutting through the hall, each louder than the last."By the saints! It's a disgrace upon our house!" Lord Aethelred’s voice boomed, his face flushed with ale and anger. "That scoundrel, that common-born vagrant! He paid for a noble's inn, yet has not a single coin to his name!""Perhaps there is a misunderstanding," Lord Alistair said, his voice a gentle, calming balm against the rising tide of fury. "Arthur is many things, but a thief…""He is a thief, a vagabond, a layabout!" Lord Aethelred snapped,

A long sigh of relief escaped Arthur's lips as he looked at the official decree of annulment. He walked out of the magistrate’s office and into the bustling streets of Stonequay City. His next path was clear: he would return to the life he had once so vehemently rejected.As he walked, a voice full of cruel satisfaction called out behind him. "Well, look at you! You're no longer a live-in husband, but a discarded one! What a disgrace! That's even more embarrassing than being our family's house dog, isn't it?"Arthur ignored her, simply walking to his old horse tethered outside. He mounted his horse and rode away.Elara's face, however, was a mask of furious indignation. Despite her blatant treachery, she still felt that she had not insulted him enough. She turned to Lord Gideon, who was waiting in his magnificent black carriage."We must follow him, my lord," she said, her voice raw. "He must be leaving Stonequay for good. He has no friends, no coin, and no place to live here."Lor

Lady Maren’s sharp cry of disgust echoed through the great hall, turning every head towards Arthur. Her brother, Sir Godric, immediately rushed to her side, a furious look on his face. Arthur simply remained calm, his gaze unwavering on the bowl of marrow broth and then on Lady Maren. Her revulsion was palpable, a testament to everything he loathed about the noble world. "Grandma, he didn't even bring a present for you!" Lady Maren complained, her voice a shrill whine as she walked to the head of the feasting table. "How can he be allowed to eat at a feast meant for nobles?" "My sister speaks the truth! This scoundrel has been a stain on our family's honor for five years!" Sir Godric chimed in, his voice raw with contempt. "If you hadn't kept him around, he would have been a vagrant long ago!" A sudden stir at the grand oak doors caught everyone's attention. A young pageboy, his livery pristine, stood at the entrance, clutching a heavy chest bound with golden cords. "I have a gi

The herald’s words had a finality that hung in the air like a death sentence. Lord Thomas stood in a daze, the color drained from his face. His world, which had been so ordered and predictable, was now in utter ruin. He looked as though he might either collapse in tears or burst into hysterical laughter. Arthur simply scoffed, a look of profound contempt on his face. "What is it, Lord Thomas? Has the King's Justice taken your tongue as well as your charter?" Lord Thomas’s face, pale with shock, flushed with a furious rage. He slammed his goblet onto the feasting table and strode toward Arthur. "So what if my charter is revoked? It has nothing to do with you, you mongrel! It's because the Guild of Couriers wants to take over operations personally! It's a change in policy, not a matter of your petty spite!" Arthur merely smiled, taking a sip from his goblet. "That's an interesting bit of news. You went from ignoring me to defending my good name in a single breath. If you believe yo

The Grand Peckham pronouncement left many of the guests scratching their heads. A moment ago, she had publicly instigated the city most influential figures to ensure Arthur would have no means of living. Now, in the very next breath, she bade him stay and eat. It was a peculiar display of power, confusing to many. Lady Philippa, however, observed the Old Lady with a glint of admiration in her eyes. This was a mere act of power and dominance. The Old Lady was establishing dominance, reinforcing that Arthur’s punishment for striking her grandson was absolute, yet he would still adhere to her rules as long as he was, however briefly, still tied to her family. Arthur did not refuse. He simply took his seat at the long feasting table, positioned, beside Elara and Sir Godric. The grand hall, typically bustling with laughter and lively conversation, now felt heavier, the air thick with more joy as the scent of roasted capons, steaming loaves of bread, and mulled wine filled the air, whi
