Sylas returned to Casstle Main only to be "detained." The situation was actually worse than it seemed, although he took it as mostly a joke. Gregory even had the likes of Brant's toddler in shackles.
On the way back, the group had met up with Brant, who was waiting anxiously. The man almost wept when he saw his wife and son, and when Sylas saw this, he knew that he would likely not have to worry about Brant in the future.
Brant had been practically grinning from ear to ear. He might have carried his wife and son on the way back himself if not for the fact they reminded him that they had prepared a horse and carriage.
However, that fantasy came crashing down a moment later. He couldn't help but look toward Sylas, but Sylas wasn't the type of person to give reassuring glances. He just let Gregory do what he wanted until they were "escorted" to separate holding rooms for Cassarae to personally inspect.
