"If being held hostage is your definition of not being treated poorly," he supposed, pulling back from the hug to look at him. "What now?"

"They want to keep you here, but free to move about the city this time. I do not know what the situation is at home. When I left, Damin was marching on White Harbor. That will, of course, have to be called off with the Manderlys paying fealty to the Vale."

Edric thought for a moment. "How long am I supposed to stay here? And what happened with the Manderlys, exactly?"

"Lord Manderly insulted me. Perhaps a bit recklessly, I made the decree which I'm sure you've heard about. Balthazar Manderly took me up on my offer. His father ran to the crown for help, and they overstepped their boundaries to spite me."

"And what of the decree? There are other houses in the north that follow the new gods," Edric replied.

"Not forever. Just until they think they can trust me."
