Lord Janus's Reinforcements

Alexander would come to know the details of Remus's victory late that evening when the men returned with their quarry, and it would produce a series of rather complicated feelings within him.

Alexander would of course be very happy at how his men were able to accomplish such a grand victory, especially without him. This made him feel reassured that he would be able to delegate more pressing tasks to them in the future.

But at the same time, he wondered if all the risks they had taken were worth it. If Alexander was in their shoes, he was not sure he would have gambled so much, especially when the payoff seemed so little to him.

Alexander thought that in the grand scheme of things losing around a thousand men was not too big a deal for Lord Parker. Thus he was a bit displeased at Remus for risking so much, thinking the young man was chasing personal glory too much.
