-We always bring the light of God to the shadows.
The man proclaimed "oooooh" and nodded.
-I see... But be careful, this vermin jumps far and but it has beautiful pelts and horns.
You wondered what kind of beast could have a pelt and a horn. Probably some kind of dark unicorn ? No ? You were not so much impressed by the stuffed head in this room since you already saw another unicorns head in a castle near Soissons plus the horn here was shorter. Well, it was white horse with a horn like any white horse with a horn. Beautiful of course but it hadn't the novelty of the Hyppogriff's head. But who wanted a horse's pelt... Maybe it was a particularly hairy black unicorn ? You then told.
-Do not worry your excellency, I will adapt, and it will be a pleasure to hunt with such great hunters as your son and you.
You looked at his trophies and he nodded, promising you to show his other trophies. Finally, after a bit of drinking you were informed that your apartments were ready and that you could finally remove your chainmail. You ordered Ancel to come with you, being the closest thing to a servant that you had but before you could come to your apartments through halls and corridors Lady Takable approached you and told.
-Charles, it is important that you listen. I know count Careless since a long time ago and he was preoccupied by my safety, I think that he is on our side. But he has sometimes strange ideas and I wouldn't want you to commit any faux pas. He is a simple man but : be careful when you talk about elves, do not tell that some beasts like unicorns must not be hunted, and never tell that there is better wine than the one that they grow on the Imperial lands near Gandolf.
You tried to remember but she said.
-And about Lady Sue, I think that she might be a problem... With how she behaved... Don't you think that her Fors awaits her in the afterlife and it would be criminal to let him waiting.
Your bride to be looked absolutely stunning when she asked you to kill someone. Really, she had the kind of big innocent blue eyes that made you want to do what she wanted immediately. Her small half smile and her girlish cheeks that gave her a naive air contrasted greatly with her demand. You understood that she tried to be less cruel but these insults from lady Sue must have made her cruel nature win back. You excused her, she was a woman, so led by emotions and not reason, a pagan so she knew no right and wrong, and young so you had still to teach her.
