<span class="mu-i">“She’s… invited.”</span> Sir de Ferros winces. He was not a man prone to wincing, even when delivering disastrous reports of compromised assets or dire news. <span class="mu-i">“The Lady Frida Vancewell that is. To the Norveski-Andrei wedding this spring.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Okay. So the Lady Frida Vancewell is invited to the wedding in the town where her own brother was tried and executed, by my own hand no less. It’s probably a peace overture from House Norveski, likely to be rejected, and even if she find some reason to accept it would be madness to brave the Romani change of seasons to winter there."</span> Sir Gilbern realised he was rambling, stopping himself and taking a breath. <span class="mu-i">"So Frida Vancewell isn’t due to arrive in Romaine until the end of winter at least…"</span>
Sir Cato de Ferros winces again. <span class="mu-i">“Actually…”</span>
===============================
> “...This is fine.” No, it’s just another confusion tactic. A double-down confusion tactic, hidden within a ploy and woven into a scheme. Frida may just be showing her Faction allies that House Vancewell isn’t locked into anything and still needs to be plied with favours to stay on board. And Sir Andrei is… Adam’s arsehole, he’s probably doing this with the sole purpose of driving his Reginate friend mad. Maybe you should take something to help you sleep tonight. [Cyncial] + [Cynical]
> “I give up. No, honestly I give up.” You cannot tell if that man is a genius or an idiot, whether he was sent by the Pit or if he really does speak with Angels. You have more than enough work here, keeping tabs on the Crown Prince and doing your very human best to keep the Kingdom from showing the tears on the seams. As for Andrei and whatever the hell he is doing, you suppose you’ll have to wait and see. You’ll try to get some sleep tonight. [Cynical] + [Taciturn]
> “Squire, my horse!” House Andrei is in danger. That snake Frida Vancewell probably plans to poison the entire family during her stay at Castle Andrei. You must go there at once, braving the onset of Romaine’s winter yourself with your best men. Wintering with the Andrei’s and Vancewell in Romaine wasn’t your idea of a holiday, but you made a promise to your friend. You won’t be sleeping tonight. [Cynical] + [Haughty]
