Jocelynn no longer moved through the halls of Lothian Manor with a minimal escort. When she'd first arrived, she was generally accompanied by one of the knights that her father had sent with her, acting as a personal guard, and Confessor Eleanor, for appearances and propriety's sake. In general, however, Jocelynn had conducted herself like a resident of the manor, trusting in her Lothian hosts to keep her safe and moving about the manor with a minimum of fuss.
Things had changed dramatically, however, since Captain Albyn freed her from the Lothian dungeons. Once they understood what had happened to their lady, the servants from Blackwell County had come to the near-unanimous decision that the Lothians couldn't be trusted to keep Lady Jocelynn safe, so as she walked through Lothian Manor, she was accompanied not only by Captains Albyn and Devlin but by a full retinue of servants and soldiers.
