King Landor sent runners to the families with guardsmen on the ship and Torbert went to the training grounds to round up the rest of the Noble and Emertland Guards. The scene when the ship was pulled into the dock was almost chaotic.
The men had witnessed the mob growing and had requested they be allowed to wear full battle regalia when disembarking. Jorgarn saw no harm since the men would either wear it or carry it. Once dressed, the guardsmen stood tall and proud on the deck of the ship while the ropes were tied to the moorings.
Gorin and Melodart, who wore only their tunics and not their armor, escorted Eslada down the ramp first and Pernice followed leading the rest of the men. Families rushed forward to greet their sons but the Guards maintained their ranks until Pernice brought them to a halt in front of King Landor, Queen Lorida, Princess Denae and Sir Torbert.
"Your Royal Majesties," Pernice said loudly. "Your Guard returns after an unmitigated success. The conspirators are slain without harm to our relationship with Longview or to Domita. We await your next command."
The King beamed proudly at his brother.
"On behalf of Emertland and its citizens, I offer my thanks and my congratulations on a job well done," King Landor said. "To each and every man, I say thank you for the valor you have shown and your dedication to Emertland. I dismiss you to visit with your families and your loved ones."
Jorgarn had slipped down the gangplank during the greetings and come to rest beside Gorin, Melodart and Eslada. King Landor and Sir Torbert found him quickly.
"Well done!" King Landor said. "Well done, indeed. I have never seen the look of pride on my brother's face that I saw today."
Regardless of the circumstance, he wrapped his arms first around Jorgarn and then around Eslada. Denae had followed her father across, and more aware of propriety, had refrained from hugging and kissing Jorgarn as she wished. The King turned and put his arms around Torbert and Jorgarn. He looked from one man to the other and smiled widely.
"Let us meet the families of these brave men," he said.
Denae had seen the drawn, pinched look on Jorgarn's pale face. She noticed the droplets of sweat above his lip and on his forehead. Like Gorin and Melodart, Jorgarn had eschewed armor and wore only his bloodstained tunic, his overlay and the ribbon Denae had offered him.
"Excuse me, father," Denae said. "I believe one of those belongs with me."
She glanced at Sir Torbert and they both smiled.
"Oh, of course, of course," Landor said as he removed his arm from Jorgarn's shoulder.
Jorgarn flinched noticeably when Denae slid her arm though his. She turned to him immediately.
"A scratch?" she said through clenched teeth. "You do not jump when someone touches a scratch."
"Maybe a bit more," Jorgarn admitted. Eslada let out a noise behind him.
"He has a deep cut running from where his armor ended on his arm to near his elbow," she said. "It has become infected. It is much more than a scratch."
Jorgarn willed Eslada to cease but she spoke more.
"I have done my best to keep the infection at bay but the ship's stores and the medicine in Longview were not up to the task," she said added. "He will need a medic and several days of rest."
Denae cast her narrowed eyes on Jorgarn who was doing his best to look anywhere else.
he thought to Denae.
"Father," Denae said. "I have learned that Jorgarn was wounded. He needs to see a medic immediately. May we be excused from these proceedings? We will meet each family personally after he is attended to."
"Your Highness," Jorgarn said. "I'm fine."
"You call this fine!" Denae said. She pulled her hand away from his arm to show it was covered in his blood. "He is bleeding through his bandage and his tunic, father. He needs a medic."
The King looked at Jorgarn's shirt with dismay.
"You're wounded," he said. "Yes, yes, Gorin, please take him to a medic. Our carriage is here. Use it."
Jorgarn could see Denae was about to protest.
he thought.
Denae was displeased but she nodded.
she promised as she put a hand to his forehead.
