Darion had sent Garren, several senior knights, and the carpenters away earlier that day. Their task was simple: find out how much the timber would cost. Not just timber either, any wood, planks, beams, posts, or construction materials that would eventually be needed for the livestock project.
There was no point discussing construction endlessly if they didn't know the actual prices. The sooner they got those numbers, the sooner Darion could decide how quickly the rebuilding would move forward.
Until then, there wasn't much for him to do. For once. Which was a surprisingly rare thing these days. So he decided to rest a bit.
So Darion found himself sitting inside the great hall with a book in his hands. The book itself wasn't particularly exciting, at least not at first glance.
