Jamie returned to his barony for one last visit before he married Star. He rode about with only a small escort of his lancers. He was most concerned with he lot of his people. It cheered him greatly to see his people not wanting for anything. Fishermen were going out on the boats he gifted them and many other wearing the clothes made from the new cloth provided by the Baron and Baroness. Food was all over and plentiful. It filled his heart with gladness; he was doing well for the folk who looked up to and trusted him.
Then cam an inspection of the building of his castle; their new home and a fortress as well. Jamie remembered when only the base of the walls was even visible. Now they rise majestically to their full height; crenelated, turreted walls at so many angles, as to make a successful assault impossible, even with no way to even get to those walls. Wells have been dug; cisterns are already full and the hidden road is completed. Only a few finishing touches are required. Rugs and tapestries are on the way along with some personal furniture. It will be most perfect for Star. He checks again their personal bed chamber, fully furnished. She will be most comfortable and to him that's most important. Jamie smiles to his architect and engineer; all was ready for the castle to be occupied.
