Castellan
“The slaves had been feeding the flames all morning, heaping logs on to the stone hearth but he still felt cold. He used his hand to scoop more porridge from the bowl and shoved it in his mouth. It was already lukewarm. He hurled the wooden bowl across the straw-covered floor.
‘Bring me some that is hot,’ he shouted at the slaves.
He rubbed his eyes. The idiot slaves had placed damp wood on the fire that had filled Fellin’s hall with smoke. His clothes stank of it and his eyes smarted, w...hich all added to his misery. Perhaps he would have a couple crucified later. It was the only thing that brought him any cheer these days. He sat with a look of thunder on his face and reflected on a year of heartache and disappointment. The death of his parents and sisters had filled him with rage and a desire for vengeance. He had raised the whole of Ungannia and swept into Saccalia, capturing Fellin with ease. But then his attempts to take Lehola had ended in bloody failure, the accursed Sir Richard defending it like a wily bear does its winter lair.MoreLess
