Roswyn Halcourt, née Aldor, sat laboring over her abundance of paperwork within St. Edmonds when the news of such reached her. A relief, that such was finally set in stone, and she was now able to relax. Though it had been many years since she had been an Aldor by family name and crest, one would have to drain all of the blood from her body if they wished to revoke the pride that rest within her for her family. If she died tomorrow, she could rest well knowing that her sacrifices had were not for nothing.
