[For Cahaya Sinaga and Scout Kane]

The higher nobles had been notified of their requested departure and to Peter's relief, most of them obliged. Of course a few chose to hang back and he couldn't blame them for that either. After all, he had every intention of returning in just a few days himself. He had a business to run on top of his appointment as Lord Steward.

The nobles families had made their own way to the country on their own timing. Nearly all of them already had second homes away from Loren and for those that did not, Peter had been sure to make sure they were housed in other nobleworthy homes. Most had brought their own guards with them on the journey though a couple had requested extra security which was of course provided.

They had been out of the city for about a week when Peter, Cahaya, and Scout along with a few extra hands and guards made the journey down to join them. They would be hosting a party, something fun and exciting to get their minds off of the stressors of what was going on back home. It was approximately a two day journey and camp had been set for the night at the end of the first day.

Peter sat by the fire with a sandwich in his hands. He would have loved something like a stew but he wasn't complaining either.
