>>5711108>>5711177Of course, trusting pagans is hard. Especially murderous pagan women, three good reasons to not trust them.
And you are right, we need allies.

You ordered father François to baptise the girl that tried to kill you before dinner while your servants prepared you a bath and you feasted with your closest advisors. It was a good dinner, Oldfossil was better and you talked a bit about the events with the short scotsmen. He seemed to tell you to appease them but the reduction of their privileges suited him, he knew that it would be easier to tax them. Godefroi then told a really funny anecdote about a drunken night in Paris during his youth and how he threw two Sorbonne students in the Seine after their criticised the hat that he bought to an Italian merchant, then he remarked that he had forgotten the said hat at the tavern where he was drinking and he had it stolen by thieves.
You decided to keep Oldfossil with you at the end of the day for writing a letter to the Neutral Lord. But before you wanted to know a bit more about the lordship of Darkplace. First you told him to tell you exactly where it was.
-It is on the lower Plotline river on the other side of the baronial lands my lord. It is maybe nine to ten days to travel on foot from here. Or a week on horse. We need to pass through the baronial lands to take it.
-And the keep, what does it looks like ?
-It is a small keep, smaller than Local and the lordship only has three villages. It was given to Lord Creepy Bitchson some twelve years ago, they built this assassin school in the meantime, it is near the castle of Darkplace.
When you were discussing all those serious matters, and waiting for an explanation Father François and his 200 pounds entered your room and, absolutely excitedly told.
-Hosannah monseigneur ! Hosannah ! It... It seems to be a miracle.
-A miracle ? What ?
-I baptised the lady, the young woman that tried to murder you, I tried to educate her about the Lord during these days but she seemed obsessed by the question of her soul. I told her that the Lord would give it to her back if she prayed hard, believed and did good deeds, but she insisted to see, she insisted for the stone that showed souls. So I agreed to give her, since she could not walk because she still has wounded feet, and called Gardasil to bring it to her after her baptism... And when she was baptised, it glowed !
He did the sign of the cross, you did the sign of the cross, and Oldfossil told.
-Unbelievable...
To be sincere you felt ashamed for having doubted before, the light of the Lord shined upon your lands and you ordered.
-Tell some guards to bring her here. Let us pray, it is a sign.
