>>5213052You tried to tell something and began to say.
-My lord, but... The boat will help me bring your taxes faster and...
He looked at you and said in a harsh tone.
-I said, next time.
Well, no discussion then, it was annoying, and he probably would be building his own boat. You were not a diplomat, maybe you could have turned this request in a more interesting way but you were not a man of words but a man of action. You tried to drink quietly while the dishes passed by. At least you ate well and if those "Aurochs" tasted so good you promised yourself that you will need to hunt one of them when you will be back at local. It was at this moment, while you were giving your goblet to the servant behind you that filled your cup (it was strange, instead of a servant per person these people preferred to have one or two servants alternatively serving everyone, was the baron short on personal ? Or were the customs of India in favor of unemployment at the lord's table ?) that a small piece of parchment with a note appeared under your goblet. It was stuck on it with a bit of wax and you decided to drink it quickly before looking at it.
Unfortunately, being illiterate, you understood nothing. Well, you tried at least and the mysterious stranger that tried to contact you was probably unaware of this. You decided to wait for the end of the feast, wich was quick, before retiring to your chambers and calling Oldfossil. You showed him the small note and he raised a white eyebrow and muttered.
-Strange... Very strange my lord...
You answered him.
-Probably, but we will debate about it's strangeness once I know what is written on it.
-Hum... Yes, of course your lordship, it is written "Maybe a trip to the dragon temple could be worth it, I heard that the back door is open at night."
You frowned, clearly it was not to see the ribcage of the dead dragon that Oldfossil has told you about. No, clearly it was to meet someone but who ? It was not Lady Takable, she knew that you couldn't read. Was it an ally ? Or an enemy ? A nobleman ? A priest perhaps ? Maybe they wanted you in this place to kill you ? The author of the note probably hasn't thought about saying you to come alone, but if he used this method to communicate with you it probably meant that he preferred your meeting to be kept secret. Was it a test of the Baron, it was one of it's servants that must have given it to you after all, or was the unknown servant paid by someone else. What to do ?
