Once Sasha was sure Moonsnow would return to her, she let go of the dragon.
When she opened her eyes, it was already night, and Dan had returned from his outing.
Sasha thought carefully. They were perhaps going about this entire thing the wrong way? Perhaps Dan's initial plan was alright. Just allow Snorcs in.
There is a lack of young men in the fiefs more loyal to the Winterchild family. When Raul called for the levies to be raised, most of the loyal lords raised all they could.
Thus, their harvests are low, due to lack of labor, and their current manpower is low, due to most of Raul's army being annihilated.
Sasha wasn't sure if the families even received the compensation that is their due.
She decided to leave the decision to Alicia. Though she has pressured the young girl, it is more to know if the girl would betray their family just like their father. Also, Sasha wasn't sure if Alicia's story wasn't part of some ploy.
