Castlebourne.
Telmarath.
"Attention!" shouted the guard at the Castlebourne gate.
"The procession of House Lorelei will enter. Pay your respects to Lord Caspian Lorelei!" the soldier ordered.
The soldiers lined up along the path to Castlebourne's door began to kneel and pay their respects to the arriving entourage of House Lorelei.
Prince Edmund had already been informed of the Lorelei's arrival, even as the entourage entered through Telmarath's main gate.
The few citizens who wanted to pay their condolences had to be delayed. The palace officials, including Duke Howard, put more priority on the representatives of the great Houses to pay their condolences first.
Lord Caspian left Avolire together with Lady Grace and Lord Arnold, they did not take Lady Sera along because of her desire to spend time with her friend at Calden Castle.
