Darion's expression changed. 'Of course.' Garren.
The man had already proven himself. He knew how to manage Percvale. The knights respected him. He understood logistics. He understood defenses. He understood the people. And more importantly... Darion trusted him.
If Darion placed someone in charge of Vrethka, it couldn't simply be some random warrior. He needed someone capable. Someone loyal. Someone he could trust with an entire settlement. Garren could do it.
Darion nodded slowly. 'This could work.'
It wasn't simply giving Garren another responsibility. It was a promotion. A massive one. Darion was effectively telling him: I trust you enough to govern territory for me.
That wasn't something Darion gave lightly.
His thoughts returned to the crowd. He had been so deep in his own thoughts that he almost forgot they were still there.
