201 Who Will Lead?

"Has General Bancroft been secured?" Sierra asked eagerly. 

"Yes. I've just received word moments ago that he's alive and well in the estate," Finnian responded at once with a sigh of relief. 

Sierra nodded, feeling as if a heavy rock had been lifted from her heart. Her primary concern was resolved, now she could move on to other things. She was still holding onto Alistair's hand tightly, not letting go. 

She gave the first of many orders, "Send three teams to pursue Cedric. Send out the hounds as well to cover more ground. I want him arrested and thrown into the dungeon." 

"On it," Finnian immediately passed down her orders, and groups of soldiers quickly filed out of the throne room to execute them. 

"Has Princess Felicity been secured?" She asked next. 

The Princess was last reported to be in her quarters. Lady Linette saw to it personally to ensure her safety.
