The troll envoy only stayed for a day in Ice Rock City before continuing on to Winterfell City.
Colin also set out with them.
For this trip to Winterfell City, he only brought Knight Lyle and a hundred guards with him.
He left Knight Shar and Knight Raymon in Ice Rock City to continue training the troops.
He entrusted all matters of the territory to Emon and Quincy.
Originally, his sister Kaitlin was going to accompany him, but upon hearing news of her long-lost husband, she raced to Fallen Eagle City.
Colin did not stop her.
At this point, he couldn't be certain whether his sister was involved in the conspiracy against him.
So he let her go.
After all, he would eventually have to settle the score with the Uman Clan.
For now, he lacked evidence, and his power was insufficient.
However, he now has a brilliant chess piece and will wait for the right time to seek revenge for past grievances.
This chess piece - the blood slave Cynthia, was also brought out by Colin this time.
