>>5198429>>5198442Of course, of course.
>>5198448Yes, the riverboat, I wrote about it seeing your answer. Great projects await.
>>5198459You quickly told Crueail.
-If course, it is understood. I shall be ready.
And he nodded and left through the door. You disliked the way that he looked at you and Lady Takable and you were glad that he was going away. You decided to talk to the Lady but she was quicker and said in her high-pitched voice.
-The baron is furious... Be careful. He might have planned to kill you. Be very careful... Please, I do not want you to die because of me my lord. I know that you have something to protect you from magic but they could use other, fouler means, to kill you.
She thought too that it was not God's protection. Well, heathens were unfortunately sceptical even after seeing God's Work. It happens.
-Do not worry fair lady, feeling the smoothness of your hand on my skin is enough reason for a man to die. And those who try to murder me had the bad habit of failing every time they tried.
You had the right to brag a bit after your double victory. Her cheeks became red in an adorable display of youthful modesty. And you deduced that she was charming, her blue dress was modest but she smelled of strawberries and had some innocent and at the same time mischievous expression that you liked. She was of course far younger than you but quite old for an unmarried lady, being seventeen if you remembered well the words of your councillors. If you had to fight to the death a second time for her you would only need to look at her blue eyes and deduce that you must do this. She told you politely in a somewhat worried tone.
-Maybe you could go towards my castle, instead of yours, or take another road. I fear that they will set up an ambush at the road or something like this....
It was a true possibility, but your lordship needed you so you tried to reassure her. You took note of her wish to invite you, it was good to know that you could charm noble fair maidens even in India.
-No, do not fear for this.
You thought deeply time about this. You could of course go to the castle of lady Takable and pass good time with her but maybe it would be wiser to go back to your lands first. You were needed there and Brother Louis would be back with the loaned gold that you needed for your projects. You had a river boat to build and a guard to equip after all. What will you decide ?
>It would be a pleasure my lady, spending some time on your castle would be lovely. >Why not coming to Local instead, I am sure you saw it before but maybe we could travel there.>Do not worry my lady, I will visit you latter, but I have urgent matters to attend to in my lands. I am well defended, I could defend myself without any problem.>Other (write in)Regardless of your answer she seemed to be worried and added.
And with the death of Lord Hostil the baron will take his lands, he had no heirs.
You agreed with this, and said.
