After a few days news of the Avarian defeat at Carringhan had reached Tarnovo. War was not a reality to the people of the coastal city, but a distant distraction that occurred on the other side of the kingdom. None the less Isaac had to make the long journey from his lavish city to the capital in response of the Avarian defeat. If the situation was not handled carefully it could spiral into crisis both on the military front and in the home front as well.
It had taken him over a week for him to arrive at the castle. He was exhausted from the journey, but kept a small smile to keep up appearances. After he exited his carriage, his escort moved off with the horses to the stables. Isaac himself proceeded into the castle through it's corridors to the great hall where the other nobles gathered to socialize. The herald announced that Lord of Tarnovo had arrived, Isaac bowed to the crowd then moved to speak to some of the lords in the crowd.
Isaac nodded to or spoke to some of the lords, making small talk and telling others they looked good. Really he wanted to remind that half of them men in the room owed him money. Despite the recent their defeat by their enemies, the nobles seemed to be speaking on other matters, perhaps putting aside the bad news to keep morale high. Isaac merely tried blending in with crowd.
