>>5577827>>5577483>>5577892>So long as this conversation was had and there were witnesses, then that's all you need.Why was it that you bothered to meet with Molyes in the first place, here this day? Everything that was discussed could have been so at an assembly of nobles, in private if need be. Or if you wanted something more direct you could have just charged forth with your forces and resolved this matter in battle. Many different options to you and all with some appeal or other.
But no, you wanted this option. Because it was the one that enabled you to sit across the table from him, to see and interact with the man in person without worry about anyone important to witness. Molyes has been a thorn in your side for months now and you wanted to personally deal with this thorn.
<span class="mu-r">"Your requests are quite reasonable good Sir, I accept. I ask only that you join of a banquet tonight to mark the settlement of these concerns... you will be spending the night here anyway, of course."</span>
So you can play nice, act the way you always have in order to persuade others into believing you are something you are not. Enable them to underestimate you, which allowed for this whole situation to transpire in the first place. As Molyes himself said, he should have responded to you differently and if he had done so then he easily could have stamped you out months ago. This is his price to pay for such foolishness, but he'll have more to pay still before all is said and done.
Rather than departing from the castle now and having to travel at night, Molyes and his men would be staying anyway. He probably would have refused your offer for a banquet out of disdain for you, but because he's to remain here anyway he can't come up with a reason to refuse you. Besides, what's the worst that could happen?
