Arthur walked down the large staircase. The manor house was a beautiful home. It was filled with artwork and treasures befitting the house of a baron. One of these days, Arthur would be granted his father’s title and this would be his. This was not something that struck him often, but it did pass through his mind today. Maybe it was because he was thinking about the way Prince James was taking the rule from his father the king? He shrugged despite himself. That had to be it.<br/><br/>Arthur was almost to the bottom of the stairs when the front door opened. The footman for the coach appeared through the large oak doors. It seems Arthur had planned his timing perfectly. The footman bowed slightly and held the door open for him. Arthur whistled a cheerful tune as he descended the front steps. Stopping as he reached the cobblestone street, he smiled and took in a deep breath.<br/><br/>The largely stone town around him was a rather small affair. It was built around the Harrington manor almost a century ago now. It wasn’t a major military city nor was it a major trade hub. It was just an average town with average achievements. That being said, it wasn't like Arthur was indifferent to it. He was rather proud of his family’s little town. It had a charming feel and there was no strife to be had.<br/><br/>The friendly, quiet townsfolk went about their business. Several of them smiled and waved at him as they passed. It was almost time for the shops to be opening. The day will be sweet and simple. He sighed, pleased. Arthur climbed up into the coach. He leaned back and got settled as the footmen climbed onto the back.<br/><br/>It was seven hours to the capital from Caham. He would arrive in the evening. The ceremony would be tomorrow, though he was unsure of exactly when. Ah, it would sort itself out when he got there. Father and Mother were already there. They had gone there a few days earlier to handle a bit of court business before the celebration. Surely they would know better what was going on. He closed his eyes as the coach started moving.
