Summary
Policy 8 was established in the hope of encouraging the birth of increasingly powerful agents. All agents 18 and over must accept the marriages DEPRAC assigns them. Agents between the ages of 16-18 can volunteer to enter the programme or else be forced into it due to minor illegal behaviour.
Lucy Carlyle volunteered. Anthony Lockwood was forced.
In an effort to protect the two teenagers from being turned into pawns in the games of the rich and powerful, Barnes ensures Lucy and Lockwood are married. But just because they aren't stuck as pawns, doesn't mean the teenagers aren't forced into the same dangerous games.- Language:

Summary
Uhtred's reputation as a Warrior and a Lord has grown and reached far and wide. So far and wide, in fact, that most of it is purely made up or widely exaggerated by the time they reach him again. He mostly ignored what he heard and never corrected the stories that reached his ears. He now realizes that maybe he should have, because apparently, offerings are being sent his way from those seeking his protection, as you would a King. And one in particular is staring back at him. They mostly sent things you'd rarely find in the markets in the settlements around them. So, he accepted their offerings and used them to fund their protection. Their silver, after all. This was the first time someone sent a person as an offering. A Saxon. And Uhtred did not know what was expected of him.
