>>5517454We did what was right, not what was easy. And your second comment is wise, hai hai.
>>5517508>>5517561A wise political move.

>>5517723This green man is a gravure of a frog dating from the beginning of the far future, the 21st century, the frog at those times was used by anglo saxons to represent frenchmen, here we can see that this frog carries a "francisque" a traditionnal frankish axe that seems to prove his identity. It is cutting in half some moor or saracen that seems to represent the book wisdom defended by Isnott and his ilk. This gravure seems to represent the domination of warriors and men of action over thinkers and other men who read too much books.
And of course our Lord is a man of his time, and thanks for your kind words, I hope that you will like the rest of the quest as much.
>>5517805>>5518238You decided to talk to Isnott first, the young man has been sour since you bested him in a debate and you wanted to make him see the beauty of life. So when everyone was in camp you decided to come to him and ask him if he enjoyed the basement dweller's sausages. But the young man was not very responsive. He seemed to be still sour after this afternoon's episode. He answered your inquiries with "yes" and "no" answers. So you tried to tell.
-Do not take ill from my earlier actions lord Isnott. I was carried away.
-Carried away ? You threw me off my horse...
-Yes, and if you were not my count's son I would have challenged you to a duel and killed you on the spot. I think that I made an effort.
-WHAT ? B.... But you can't simply kill people for their religious beliefs ! Or absence of beliefs...
-Why ?
-Because, it is not humane, it is awful, it is murder, you could not kill people for their ideas.
-And yet you wanted to kill the ermit that i ordered to be whipped for his ideas.
-He was a dangerous hate monger, humanism does not apply to people like him.
-Those who deny God reject his love, and reject obedience to His church and the nobility of the land. They must be killed. This is how it works in France at least, here it seems to be different.
-B... But it is awful.
-Listen, why do people obey us, the nobility I mean..
-Because... Because we have armies and connections and..
-NO ! They obey us because it is our God given right to rule ! Our rule is God's will, just like the rule of kings, we are not burghers or some other strange caste who can buy armies with money, we are people who have only their word to ensure loyalty, the oath of a knight to his liege. It is powerful because it is watched by God who judges oathbreakers. Without God there is no morality, there is no aristocracy, no kings, only barbarism. Kings are anointed and sacred it is why we have to obey them.
