>>5571695Always.
>>5571714Hopefully it does not concerns half the region's nobility.
>>5571735Yes, Veryon seems to be less scholarly. And Lord Fors Hostil was the rumoured lover of Lady Sue, Charles killed him in a duel after he had dared to insult Rose when we first met the baron to swear fealty to him.
>>5571878>>5572623You decided that it was time to introduce yourself, without mentioning the incident, hopefully it will make the ladies stop their infighting.
-The nobility of the Someplace barony indeed, I am lord Charles de Villeroi, Lord of Local.
The count's heir raised his eyebrows, quite astonished.
-Glad to see you my lord. And hello Rose, and lady Mary.
The two ladies gracefully saluted him. He then made you sign to go to the castle. Riding near you Veryon explained.
-To be sincere I heard only your description by baron Crook and I thought that you would be a more religious and scholarly type. You are a knight ?
-Of course, and I suppose that you are too, your brother told me that you were a warrior.
-Yes, yes of course. Do you hunt ?
-Of course I hunt, but unfortunately I have never had the time to do this since I am in India.
-We should correct this, my father and I love to hunt and we would be glad to organise a hunt before all this court case business.... Do you compete in tournaments ?
-Yes, but it seems that your tournaments are more about jousting than melees. Back in France I always preferred melees.
-Really ? I always dreamed to organise a melee with good knights, they say that it is like war.
-You never were to war ?
-No unfortunately our land is peaceful, I wanted to join the legion in my youth but since I am a first son I have to learn to be a lord and be near my father. I hope there will be war soon, what other way do we have to distinguish ourselves ?
You smiled and decided that you liked the man, he had sane and reasonable ideas and it was rare in India. You could only agree.
-Without wars the chivalry grows soft and cannot fight, to be good warriors need to practice. But I am sure that war will come soon enough. You have maybe a borderlands conflict with the nearby count ?
-Unfortunately no, and I would prefer to wage war far away, to spare the peasantry. Some say that the barbarians will invade again but I do not believe it, they are primitives and idiots. And they have no leader to unite them all and pass the impassable passes with our fortresses that hold them.
Isnott decided to comment on your discussion too.
-I do not know brother, some say that they are uniting under a new leader. I heard this from a legionary who once was stationed in the passes.
It was when you were hearing this interesting discussion that you came before the gates of the mighty castle. Trumpets blowed and you quickly entered the courtyard and dismounted.
