-Lord Isnott, tell me, what do second sons do in your lands, have you thought about joining the clergy ?
-The clergy ? No, no, no, no... Absolutely not, I mean, I am not very religious, you know, religion here, it is a bit backwards, did you know that there is a god of table manners and a god of stew in our mythology. Oh, and this stew is good by the way. But such gods seems to me, sorry if it may shock someone, not very real.
You nodded enthusiastically.
-I heartily agree, these gods are absolutely not real.
-Oh really ? You are an atheist too ? What a welcome surprise, they are rare in this lands.
You wondered what an atheist was, it must meant that you rejected the pagan idols of the Indians. Maybe it is the name they gave to Christians.
-They are too rare unfortunately, but I try to convert some people.
He seemed really surprised by it. His brown eyes opened and he explained you.
-Really ? It... It is unexpected, they said you were a kind of fanatic from a sect but now I understand, they called you like this because you reject the religion of our priests.
You were happy to dissipate these lies forged by your enemies.
-We are absolutely not a sect, no, we are the One True Faith, Christ said that he was the Way, the Truth and the Life.
He seemed even more impressed, truly the power of Jesus was beginning to convert him. You were proud of yourself.
-Yes, we seek the Truth in our way of life, it is what atheism is all about. And one true faith hahahaha, excellent this one, I will use it.
He seemed to smile and toke more of his beef stew, it was true that it was excellent. But you decided to go back to the topic.
-And so, what about your occupations, if not the clergy, you want to be a knight in the service of your brother ?
-A knight, no, not at all, I am not a great lover of battles and warfare. I want to study in the universities of the center of the Empire, well, even continue my studies, then I will try to work. Probably in the shipment of rare alchemical ingredients to our lands.
It was your turn to be astonished. What...
-You mean to... Work ? Like a burgher ?
-Yes.
He answered in such a certain tone that you were sure that this man was a mummer or a man of great humor. You had to control yourself to not laugh out loud.
