>>6112898>>6112911You have both a very good take in the situation good sirs. And yes both choices have advantages and disadvantages but it seems that spending time with Rose won the vote. Who could blame the Bannermen who choose her ? She is adorable.
>>6113119>>6113136>>6113385You never had visited Lady Rose's tower before, so you decided to do it now. Nodding you answered her.
-I can travel to your lands and train some soldiers there, it will be a good occasion to spend some time together.
She smiled radiantly and you felt her hand naughtily caressing your thigh under the table, you turned towards her, a bit surprised and she answered with an innocent smile but a bit of mischievousness in her eyes. She then sweetly agreed.
-Thank you Charles, you are very kind.
You then asked her.
-I can ride directly to your tower if you wish so.
-It will be a pleasure Charles ! Thank you !
You held her hand and she held yours. The rest of the feast were quite bland, were "cultured" as said those Guelphs. The poetry was not so bad to be sincere but for the rest, nothing new or particular happened. The baron wished good health to all his vassals, told that his reign would be just and thanked you once more for your fealty. Then of course the Neutral Lord tried to tell you that once you will be back from the queen, at spring, he would be glad to hunt with you. For the time being you had to work with Lady Sue, and the Rival Lord and... Apparently this meeting was not very useful. You hated them. Seriously. The question of the Lord of Darkplace trying to kill you remained but since he was now the new baron's spymaster you understood that you would not be able to seek justice from him. Sad. Very sad. But still, autumn was ending, you decided to pass two weeks, just before winter factually, at Rose's home then to hibernate like a bear in your quarters, occasionally hunting some wolves or watching the villager's kids build snowmen. Perhaps you will have some time to learn to read better... By Saint Denis it was dreadful.
So you left on the northern road from Someplace, it would be three days to travel towards lady Takable's home. On the road, before roaring plains met great hills you asked her.
