<span class="mu-i">“-You- were at the storming of Calais?”</span> It was the infamous seizure of the southern port bordering Pascae and Aubrey, up until then the exertion of Langlish influence in Pascae had been predominantly through soft power or small . Even nobles full enjoying the benefits of Langlish connections could not abide such an overt annexation of a walled town by predominantly foreign forces, and it served to unite the Cantônian banners already raised in arms over the dispute between one another over the contested Duchy border. <span class="mu-i"> “That would make you… at least sixty years old.”</span>

Finally he shrugs, as if embarrassed at his display of pride. <span class="mu-i">“Truthfully Orlando was first, but he took an axe to the face before he even was fully off the ladder.
