>>6081337Yes, it is clearly better. The wolf attacks will be included as the reason of your move in your letter.
>>6081696>>6081735A talented young fellow it seems.
>>6082036OH ! Mahaut la truie ! Mahaut la femelle ! Que la lèpre lui mange la face ! It is an interesting art of Mahaut d'Artois because she was a quite old woman, for the time, here she seems younger, or perhaps I have been too much influenced by the portrayal of Hélène Duc in the 1972 series (pic related).

You thought about the question, it was clearly interesting. You had an occasion to secure not only your demesne but the Hostil lands. They were between your lands and those of Rose's father, before they were confiscated. So you hatched a plan, if you could obtain the new baron's authorization to take care of the keep it would be hard to push you out of it. So you proposed.
-I shall send a messenger to the baron, clearly the absence of authority in these lands need a firm hand, I can take care of securing not only the lands but the keep of the Hostil lord.
But since you were a good lord you did not forget your peasants and told.
-Messire Godefroi, you always liked wolf hunting. Take ten good men with you and protect the village and the herds.
-It will be done Monseigneur !
You wanted to send Bohémond too, or Brother Louis but Louis had sworn to only hunt lions, as a templar, while Bohémond was just travelling with his love. Heh, you will perhaps send him to escort lady Takable to her castle in several days, even if you must come to your baron's castle in more than a week Rose needed to have access to all her old dresses and be ready for the feast, you would have to leave her for a moment. But, whatever, what was done was done. You happily let the next problem to be brought before you and of course it was an affair of inheritance. Apparently the father of the family of Nowded, a family of rich peasants from Nearby, was dead, and you had to tell who would have the inheritance. No will was left, be it orally before neutral witnesses or on a parchment since the poor man died sudenly after drinking too much and falling into a river, things like this happened. You saw that there were four children in their early twenties or late teens, the eldest, a rather bland blonde, Firista, was the first to talk.
-My lord, I would want to ask your judgement on our inheritance.
-So be it, I am listening.
