Rukelion walked back to where he had left his horse tied up and began the return trip home, stopping in the closest town to sleep off his victory before heading home at a more leisurely pace. He was sure to get rid of his bloodstained cloak beforehand so it wasn't obvious he had just assassinated someone.
He had taken his eyepatch off too since it was rather distinctive. He didn't want anyone here remembering what he looked like.
It was a poor substitute for his cloak but he used a sunhat to hide his eyes that he had found conveniently in the middle of the road not far from town. Someone either dropped it or the wind blew it there.
At least the hat also hid his hair color. He didn't want anyone knowing a man with bronze brown hair and an eyepatch had been through here because that matched the description of Major Leo May, who happened to be away from the office when the crown prince went missing.
