“Lucian the Durand.” Duke Guion announced the Knight of the Black Knight as the warrior kneeled before the golden throne of a Bretonnian Duke. The light of Mannslieb slowly inked through the windows as the man lounged within his mighty throne still encased in armor, “You have come to my court at a troubling time. Just a few weeks ago the Royarch has been slain and the Damsels tell me that the worst winter in decades are coming. From what I have heard, you have come across an issue that requires my immediate attention.”
“I do my Lord!” Lucian bellowed as he kept his face adverted from the man’s throne, “I need to notify you of issues up and coming, as well as questions to help in an investigation. The authority I come here is not of just a Knight’s Errant, but as a Priest of Morr!”
The Knight heard the long sigh of the King who was obviously tired of all the issues coming these days, “Rise, Lucian, and speak your case, for you carry my respect.”
“Thank you, Lord!” Lucian did as he was told and rose with a small stumble. He wanted to stretch out his legs a little after having them underneath him for so long, “The Knight, my Benefactor who made me what I am today, had wielded a sword of power against me in my duel for the Grail Knight Osmond. We the Priests of Morr have realized, in the haste to travel to battle, that his sword has been lost.”
“An enchanted sword has been lost?” Lucian had seen the Duke move subtly in his chair as those words were spoken, “If you claim as such, then that would mean the Damsel Albera the Golden failed to find it. Do you so willingly slander her name?”
Lucian felt his heart skip at such an accusation though he was quick to point at the rament tied to his arm, “This, this is hers my Lord. She has given me a Lady’s Blessing for my quest. I would never dare slander her name but instead suggest that the weapon might be one of fiendish intent. If the worst is upon us, my Lord, then it might be that the weapon has a mind of its own.”
“A weapon that possesses a mind… I have heard of such things in the tales of Grail Knights as well as those damned by such weapons.” The Duke admitted as he stroked his chin, “I thank you for informing me of the situation Lucian, but in truth I cannot provide you the same labor as last time. As you have witnessed, my Realm is threatening to fall upon itself for I lack manpower.”
The Knight gave a hesitant nod to those words as to not damn himself further.
“I can however give you something other than that, if you think that would be useful. I personally did not oversee the cleaning of the ritual site and neither did any of my Court, for we had to face the Orks in full numbers.” The Duke explained.
