Uhtred's banishment came as a shock to all those in Winchester. Though his actions were not tolerable, Uhtred remained the biggest defender of Wessex. Through outlawing him, Alfred had - knowingly - emboldened enemies of Wessex. Even Edward seemed to disagree with Alfred's actions.
In all honesty, I felt guilty in that my first worry was not the safety of Wessex but the safety of Finan. He had gone north, that I knew. But I could not help but think of him constantly. What was he doing? How was he? Both were questions that plagued me. But he would wish me to continue living and thus, I did so.
Nevertheless, significant time had passed since the banishment and Winchester had returned to normal life. But it did not feel normal to me. Without Finan, it could never feel so.
I sat by my window, watching the daily life of Winchester go by. It was a peaceful and endearing sight. The people were so clueless as to what was going on, merely doing as they wished and as they needed, living each day like it was their last. Oh, I envied them. I envied their ability to be ignorant of all. I envied their ability to be with who they wished when they wished for if I was not of my station, I could have been with Finan. I could've been with him in matrimony and been happy. But I had a burden of duty to my family and knew I could not escape it. No matter how much I wished to.
"Edwina, who is that?" I asked, eyeing a bald, small man dismounting his house. He seemed an odd fellow but was clearly a rich one. His guard indicated that much.
