The next morning, the sound of bugles in the distance pulled Dominic out of bed right at first light.
The Cygnia army didn't use bugles, they used Trumpets, the tone was different. But if it were someone who didn't know what they were doing, it might be a sign that one of the Barons was in trouble.
Dominic was instantly on his feet and getting dressed, while Alexis went to the shower first, but moving no less quickly.
"That is the morning horn of the Mitfield Armies. We've got foreign visitors incoming." She called as she got clean.
Dominic grumbled to himself and began changing clothes.
He had been dressing for a military intervention, but it was likely to be something closer to a Royal Reception for a visiting foreign dignitary.
Once he was in a properly Noble looking outfit with a fancy black coat and his sabre hung at his hip, Dominic went downstairs and left the maids to finish getting Alexis ready to receive guests.
