The party at the end of the jousting tournament was a turning point for Wistover, Dominic believed. Finally, they were going to be down to just the long term residents of the Manor complex.
The envoys, their assistants and the household staff.
But the majority of those people would be moving into their own building, with its own staff, its own cook and guards.
That was going to be a huge change around Wistover, and Dominic wondered if he was going to have to get used to the quiet again. He certainly wanted it, but he couldn't say that he was used to a quiet house anymore.
What he could say was that it was going to be so much less work for the staff once everyone had cleared out of the compound.
After the debutante event they could have all used a vacation, but it just bled right into the Royal negotiations, and became a much longer than intended period of extreme workload.
But it wasn't over yet, and he still had to pass the last great hurdle.
