Frostbound

As the days passed since our return, many things that needed doing were still stacked on my plate. With my schedule opened up in the morning, when my usual Dungeon runs would occur, new things were slotted in to fill up my day.

My continued study of Enchantments and Wards took up some of the time while most was allocated for something else.

I needed to stop delaying taking actual charge and forging more permanent additions to my City.

The first of which was the establishment of a Guard Company.

There was a mixture of reasons I had held off on doing so but all of that silliness was left behind. After fighting the Demons and nearly dying, my hang-ups felt childish.

Other than the financial burden for permanent Guards, it was an authority thing. I had shied away from it at first in the tutorial, but when I picked it up later, I picked all of it up.

I was the head of many things as the Leader and it was nice to know that I was the sole person in charge in case things went wrong. The bits of authority I gave away were to my family, who I trusted completely.

Abigail the most.

Creating Guards was something I would have to branch out for, hiring people who were not related to me and people I wasn't sure I could trust. It was my biggest hang-up before the Demons but now I didn't care.

Well, saying I didn't care was wrong, more like I grew comfortable with the idea of loosening the reins now.

The people showed their honor, they traveled the land at my call and fought with their lives on the line. It was dishonorable to continue doubting them.

They showed their trustworthiness and respect and now I needed to return it.
