Your answer could perhaps be a bit too disappointing to your steward but you choose to tell the truth.
-I cannot read him yet, Lord Neutralsson says that he plots to usurp the old families of this land.
The old man seemed to be in deep thought about this and tried to answer something but abstained, preferring to remain silent and to nod his head slowly. He then changed the subject.
-All your travels were without incidents my lord ?
-Fortunately yes my dear Oldfossil, and the seigneury, how was it in my absence ?
The old man had always a precise answer.
-We lost a woodsman in an accident in Forgotten, two babies were born, and of course as you saw the special rescue operation, if we can call it as such, of freeing Bohémond was a success. We had no problems with any adventurers. Ah, and the orchard of course, I can say that we almost finished to dig, only one or two days remain in my opinion, right before winter and before the day of plantation
This was wonderful news ! Excellent ! Exceptionnal. You wanted to hug the old man, but you remembered that you already promised him lands and he almost died when learning of the news. Too much emotions were bad for his old hearth. You told.
-You truly are a genius of logic...
-Of logic my lord ?
-Yes, the thing with organising people.
-Perhaps it is logistics my lord.
Hum... Yes, well, you were still quasi illiterate.
-Perhaps yes my dear Oldfossil, I thought logic encompassed all the arts of the mind. But yes. You deserve praise. Tell me, have the peasants asked for justice in my absence ?
-Yes my lord, we have two petitioners who would want to see you.
You nodded and continued.
-And in the castle, is everything alright.
-I think, my lord, that your servant Ancel and Elana quarrelled and want your advice on this matter.
-They quarrelled ? Why ? They seem to have managed their mission well.
-It seems that they quarrelled about the methods, my lord. But I can order them to talk to you about it tomorrow.
You then rose from your seat, served yourself Hypocras and told.
-Today I want to eat well, and with all the household. We deserved it. With baron Crook out of the picture we can concentrate on important things.
The councilor agreed, adding.
-Yes, like getting lady Takable's rightful lands, did you have an answer about this ?
-Baron Endoftutoriel has not given it to us, and has not refused. So I do not know, he told that he will see when he will have definitely secured his seat of power. We should go visit him in two weeks if everything is alright.
The old man then said, trying to appeal to you.
-Then, my lord, with your permission, I would want to accompany you.
