>>6147511Wow, you are so glad that you've never voiced your complaints against Avalon and the Gods. You will try to keep that up. Also, this sort of explains why Mordred mostly remains in Avalon and goes by ship to get to places.
"Nevertheless, I am determined to recruit a human and bring them to my Kingdom. We will go to Japan and seek someone with little to lose and everything to gain if they start their new life in Avalon. Don't worry, at the first hint that Avalon doesn't like our new recruit, I <span class="mu-r">promise</span> to return them to the hateful World."
The promise relieves your personal Guide. He knows that your word can be trusted.
You return to the Castle. After all, you still need dine in the Great Hall with your Roman guests who are eager to hear the news from the Temple. They are unsurprised to hear that a powerful Damsel perished, it seems that they also have their own methods of divination.
They bring out a pair of dice.
"Loth Rex, we have shaken the bones. They suggest Lady Vivian of the Waters perished. Ah, what a brave lass she was."
Can this method of fortune telling be trusted? First was animal sacrifice and now it is dicing to divine the unknown. You squeeze your eyes shut and take a deep draught of mead to buy time to think before speaking.
"Throwing dice to determine the death of my fellow Sovereign is a bit much. Also, sometimes we augur wrong when trying to see what only the Gods know."
The conversation throughout the meals mostly focuses on the possibility of creating a segregated trading post for the Romans. Though still shaken by your outburst of anger earlier in the day, the Romans still timidly hold out hope for trade and diplomatic relations. Your 'Dejima' idea interests them despite the restrictions and scrutiny it entails.
If other Roman ships arrive, you need to contain them where you can see them. Also, you need to protect them from the Baphomets who might try to do something to them. Usually, you'd let Hanbei handle the finer details of such work but the Seneschal has demonstrated xenophobia and possesses less than ideal political savvy. Negotiations will continue by you or by a Guild Leader you appoint later.
You go to bed early for Questing tomorrow. You will bring back a human to Camelot, what type of person should you aim for?....
