>>6044727Hahahaha, well said good sir.
>>6044997>>6045564>>6045697You decided to throw some meat at Ancel who caught it in his hand and asked Elana.
-Do you want some meat too ?
She told that.
-With all due respect my lord I try to keep a diet and..
Ancel cut her off.
-Messire I can eat for her.
You smiled, clearly she hasn't known what it was to be hungry. It was good and strange to know that even young girls who were trained as killers were sheltered from famine in India. Well, not that it was common to have young girls to be trained as assassins elsewhere. So you threw more meat at Ancel and asked.
-Continue, how did you got back after Ancel's bath.
Ancel tried to speak but his mouth was full and some chicken fell from it so Elana interrupted him and took control of the narrative.
-We decided to take the road to the south and get to Local by the plains to lose our pursuers, it proved to be harder than expected my lord. Since we had no map.
Ancel answered.
-Maps ? Who need them, people who know how to read. Even armies ask direction to local villagers.
She told.
-That's not true.
He answered.
-What do you know you were part of an army.
-N.. No but I suppose and..
You cut her off.
-Ancel is right, it is very hard to find a good map useful for military operations, at a good scale. We always have to take a peasant as a guide, I can tell you this. So, tell me more, you asked directions to villagers.
Ancel approved.
-Aye, but one of them was a calf head so I had to threaten him.
Elana rolled her eyes, not knowing the traditional french insult "tête de veau".
-He was not a minotaur, just an old man who asked for money.
-Exactly messire, this wretch asked too much money and pointed the west instead of the east, I know where the sun goes. I had to threaten to slice his throat to have some answer. Then we got into hills... By Saint Denis they were full of strange denizens, a big bridge revealed itself to be a gigantic man, a very ugly man indeed, he looked like if an ogre had a child with my aunt.
Elana had to precise.
-A bridge troll in a remote location.
Trolls, you heard about them so you asked.
-A turtle then, did it have it's shell on it to camouflage in the wild ?
-No messire, it was no turtle, it had no shell, but it was big as an ogre so I did the sign of the cross and told him that he would never take me alive nor my money.
You were still astonished by this revelation when Elana answered.
-It was stupid, his tariff was very reasonable.
-I do not pay satanic creatures who are not local guardsmen and begin to ask tolls.
