As soon as he woke, Ash would train with the knights for a little over an hour and then begin working on the walls with Gabe. While he was working, Allice helped the fort commander. Thanks to the training she had received, Jorin found her service invaluable allowing him to spend less time in his cramped quarters. It took less than a week for Ash to get a letter from Emelia. Thankfully she didn’t seem mad at him, but she was going to limit the rest of his actions within the war. Ash wanted to complain, but after having an army chasing him for days and nearly dying, he found himself with very little ground to stand on. The letter had mostly just talked about what had been happening during the current war. There had been a number of small engagements along the border, but recently there had been reports of a larger force being sighted. At the same time, the king and other nobles had sent letters to Emelia to use Ash as a scapegoat to escape the fall of her territory, but from Emelia’s own words she had no plan to do such a thing.
