>>5624338Good idea. But the vote put the stroll first, since the book is with 2 votes too I decided to modify all of this.
>>5624787>>5625023>>5625136>>5625177It is really an honor good sir, I had some personal troubles myself these last times and hearing that my quest can brighten the day of someone is hearthwarming. All my best wishes of recovery to your mother and my best wishes to you and your girlfriend (happy to learn that I am based). I hope to continue the adventure even if I sometimes lack time for it. Posts like yours make me want to continue.

You decided to take a stroll in the castle, maybe you could find some lord or lady to talk with, you would not come back here before some time and it was a good place to broker some alliances. You saw Bohémond outside and ordered him.
-My brave Bohémond, try to find Ancel, and tell him to give the book to the count.
-It will be done Monseigneur.
Of course you could have sent him to deliver the book himself but he was a knight and carrying objects was beneath his dignity. Ordering him to find a servant and order this servant to do the thing was far more practical.
You then began to walk around the castle, maybe you would see Lady Rose or maybe other important lords. There was no persons of importance inside but some of them were in the courtyard. You saw the count's heir, Veryon Careless, fighting in a training bout against a powerfully built nobleman who used a mace. Two ladies watched them. In a corner of the courtyard three elder noblemen were in a conversation. The two ladies were at the banquet yesterday but you were far away from them and never had the opportunity to know their names. One was in her early twenties and had long brown hair, she had a blue dress of great quality while the other had a turquoise dress complemented with white furs. She had a blonde braid who began to whiten a bit, she was probably more aged.
You then looked at the lords and recognised the one with the long mustache and the golden pendant in the form of an iron gate, he was speaking with a bearded nobleman with rich clothes, a beautiful white beard and a cane and another, who was bald and beardless but deathly pale and had a face that would frighten children. All three of them carried swords, a proof of their status as noblemen.
Where to go ? Maybe show those two how to handle a sword ? Or amuse the ladies who watch all of this while the two knights beat each other up ? Or profit from the wisdom of the old noblemen ? So many choices...
