A week later Arandar knelt before the dais in the great hall of Castra Durius. People filled the hall – the men-at-arms he had brought from Tarlion, Crowlacht’s warriors, the survivors of Novindum. Stephen and Cora stood with their daughters, watching the ceremony.

“By my right as Dux of Durandis,” said Kors Durius, his rough voice booming. The Dux was a huge man, his face encircled with a shaggy gray beard. “I dub you Sir Arandar of Tarlion, a knight of the realm.” He tapped Arandar on either shoulder with his sword. “Now rise, and let’s all get drunk.”

Cassius helped Arandar to rise, his formal armor clanking, and both men bowed to the Dux. Cheers and applause echoed through the hall.

The survivors of Novindum cheered the loudest of all.

Perhaps Orlan had been right, and Arandar had saved these people for the wrong reason. But they had been spared from Qazamhor’s altar. More, Arandar had done it through steel and courage and the help of God, through the valor of his men-at-arms and Crowlacht’s ferocity. The blood of the High King had not been able to help.

Sir Arandar of Tarlion, knight of the realm of Andomhaim, might have been the High King’s bastard son, but he was still his own man.
