You decided to join the rest of the nobility of the barony, seeing no need to see the new baron alone to try to ask for his favour. First the count's servants would probably see you if you did it and report it, and you did not want to be poorly seen by him especially after the last events, and secondly you did not want to pass as a kind of intriguant or sycophant who wanted to gain favours from his liege lord even before meeting him formally. It would be better to judge his public persona before seeing how he was in private.

So after a short walk, and asking for direction because you lost yourself in the corridors, you entered a room with, in typical Indian fashion, extremely large windows. Fortunately the gothic archs of the room and the tapestries on the wall, coupled with the light of the large windows and a huge chimney who burned brightly made the place pleasant, even if it was cold in winter. You saw, too, that everyone but Rose and the Neutral Lord were there, she was probably trying to put on her most beautiful dress and he was probably too disgusted at his failure to secure the barony to bother waiting for long. The three other lords of the Someplace barony all looked at you when you entered.

There was the Rival Lord of course, a man in his fourties, dressed with some costly purple garb, adorned with the coat of arms of his family. An argent moon on a purple background, hah, the moon, always in shadows before the sun that was Local, doubtlessly. His pig like eyes looked at you with hostility, since he had a blood feud with Lord Random's family. He still had his short black receding hair and his big mustache and was stoutly built, like a warrior, a bit shorter than you but with wider shoulders. You knew the kind of men like him, they were though as a boar, cruel, resentful and dangerous. But at least he was a knight, what you could not say about the two other persons in the room.

The Lord of Darkplace, the bastard who tried to kill you twice, and that you wanted to open with your sword, looked at you and bowed lightly, he was a bit bellow you on the lordly hierarchy. The man, in your opinion, had nothing to do here since he was of commoner's blood and received a fief only for his service to the baron. One more crime on the bill of Baron Crook : giving fiefs to commoners. Plus, of course, this commoner was a satanical man who stole the souls of little children and trained them to become professional murderers and sent two of them to kill you cowardly but this was of less importance. If commoner hadn't the possibility to climb on the social ladder he would not have been able to do so much evil, it was why the feudal barrier between those who were born and those who were not should always be reinforced. The bald man looked at you with his cold, blue eyes and seemed to scrutinize you without letting any of his emotions show.

It is harsh to call a lady like that but yes, a lady not married at 20 cannot be really honourable (she is probably infertile or not slept with the stable boy).

>>5628857

>>5628882
You are harsh but fair, like her father should be (the one who slept with the milkmaid that was probably her mother) but a knight must be courteous and gallant. Even when it is hard.

Seeing lady Sue walking towards you you excused yourself telling.

-I am sorry messeigneurs but if our conversation was very interesting and pleasant I must unfortunately leave you. Two young ladies await me and I would be a poor knight if I left them waiting.

They all agreed and told you to come back, the old Grognargatek even saying that back in his days courting ladies was simpler and going in another rant.

So... The hard time begun. Lady Sue looked at you with a murderous glare and advanced towards you as menacingly as a woman could. Even if she was quite tall for a lady she remained a quite thin and lithe person and not very scary for anyone but it seemed to work since many people looked at her in fear and quickly passed by her. You decided to walk towards her and tell.

-My good lady, perhaps we should talk somewhere were we would be together ?

She answered in a venomous voice.

-You fear that the consequences of your acts will be known publicly lord Charles ?

You answered with a small smile on your lips.

-No, but as a courteous knight I fear for the reputation of the lady that speaks with me. And since your last temper tantrum led to your loss in your case and your expulsion from the count's appartments I would prefer that we talk in private.

She looked at you and told in a bold way.

-Yes, it was scandalous ! A parody of justice ! I shall tell this to the duchess ! I shall tell it to my father ! You will see then !

But then as you looked at her and raised an astonished eyebrow she told you, more softly.

-Yes yes... Well, let us go.

You walked a bit until you found an empty alcove in this large castle and she finally began to speak.

-Charles... You cannot accept this decision as good ! You killed people ! You... You murdered them in your great hall and you just had no consequences to your acts because I was a bit too loud about it with the count.

She seemed outraged, and ready to explode, you had to calm her down... For someone who was called like the Holy Virgin she had not a lot in common with the serenity of the Mother of God. But.. Should you not try to create a bigger scandal to embarrass her instead ?

You had three things to do, first you ordered your men to plunder the vaults of the witches, it was taken back with fire and sword from those beasts. Since you had defeated them you had the right to honestly loot the place.

-Men, take everything of value here and pile it up, and take the body of Hunl Ucky, he was a good guard, we will give his body back to his family... I need to talk to Lady Sue, Father François, if you may help me move towards her...

The priest, who was as fat as he was strong, helped you quickly on your feet. You cursed silently thinking about all the good hunting that you will have to miss with your broken leg. You, and Lady Sue, were wounded, she was stuck by a sword in the flank and you had your ankle broken by the saxon wolf man that you slaughtered. She was carried downside with you while you limped towards a chest and you sat together on it. It was quite poetic, the lord and lady watching while the troopers were plundering and building a pyre. Before you could talk the lady said in an authoritative tone, her character being as fiery as her hair.

-Lord Charles, I am very disappointed that you haven't let me interrogate these hags, you are a stranger while I know the land and...

-The questionnette is not a spectacle for ladies, and besides, the hag could have cursed you. And she talked, she talked about another coven of these heretics nearby. In a cave near a hollow tree. I will try to marshal some men when I will be at local, we will assemble and strike those infidels down.

She rolled her eyes and said.

-You know, you are a backwards man, and a religious fanatic, two things that I hate. But... But I have to say that you are brave, and I have to thank you for saving me, even if I dislike feeling vulnerable and I... Regret that we ended up captured and then wounded. I was, maybe wrong to say that you are evil.

You smiled lightly, even if she was a strange lady dressed in leathers and carrying a sword you had to say that she was pretty, with fiery red hair and blue eyes full of character, pouty lips and let's not forget behind and legs not hidden by robes that she had not to be ashamed of. And the fact that she said this meant that she was not insensible to your charm. Well, you could not blame her, you were a true knight, noble, beautiful and sure of himself, of course women would like you. You decided to compliment her too, on something that she knows to do, a wise move.

-My lady, I must say that you are good with a sword too, I never saw a lady more skilled in this art, even if I disapprove of them being used by the fair sex. You shall not blame yourself for our wounds and our capture, we were outnumbered, these things may happen.

She answered abruptly, as if she was in middle of some thoughts.

-No they may not, I am a rank 20 adventurers, being beaten by crappy werevolves is not normal... And...

She told some other nonsense while Cop reported you.

You decided to ask, not knowing anything about this devilry.

-What is an Eynl’lib, monseigneur, I never heard of such things ?

The man looked at you, being quite surprised and he answered in a tone that you disliked. He was probably disregarding you as a poorly educated person.

-You do not know anything about magic ? Do you ?

You decided to answer.

-No wizard enlightened me yet on the matter.

You had maybe another definition of enlightening than him but you kept it for yourself. Happy about your jest. The baron then explained to you.

-Then I shall provide you with the light of knowledge. An Eynl’lib is a powerful spirit of knowledge and science that can answer to some mysteries of the universe. We can call one with rituals and sacrifices.

You instinctively did the sign of the cross, the man was speaking about demons. Fortunately he was not looking at you wile you did it because he ordered to his guards to open the gates to the great hall. You had arrived and it was time to meet the local nobility. Entering the great hall you were amazed by it, it was twice as big as yours with black walls full of tapestries and a great table at the center. Black columns held the roof and on the deep end of the place you saw a beautiful throne. But you forgot practically all about it when you saw what was on the wall behind that throne, between two huge windows. It was the cranium of a lizard, but with horns and it was big enough to swallow a man in one bite ! It’s teeth were sharp and it looked wickedly at you. It must be the head of the dragon, or what remained of it. While some parts of the skeleton seemed to have been given to a temple the head stayed here, powerful and solemn, reminding everyone of the power of the baron’s ancestors. It was impressive. You should ask about it.

While looking at the dragon you missed for a small moment that everyone in the room looked at you. They all wanted to know what kind of man you were. You followed the Baron while he introduced you to all his vassals.

-And here comes the new Lord of Local ! Charles de Villeroi, I shall introduce you to my bannermen. Let’s begin with the fair ladies, we are courteous after all.

He then showed you a redheaded woman who looked quite fierce and wore men’s clothes ! What was this infamy ! She had trousers and a doublet, and carried a sword. It was almost comical and you would have laughed if she was at the court of King Philippe but you were far from home, a stranger in a strange land and so simply let the baron introduce her.

-This is Princess Mary of Sue, of a princely lineage of the Imperial Capital she is currently the lady of Special in the north of the barony.

You bowed, having no hat to remove before the lady and not wanting to hug her as would be custom if you knew each other. She did the same thing and looked at you strangely. You said.

-Your highness.

-My Lord.
