“What if I do not commit to war? Should I really have blood upon my hands of both others and my people for something like a Title?” Lucian had to ask as he began to understand what was being shown.
“If you fail to address this, then you no longer have the qualifications of being a Duke.” Remon declared as he showed the coins, “You have not proven to others that you are not a fraud and you failed to punish him in any way. Maybe the Duke sees this and punishes the perceived crime by removing a Barony that you do not have the honor to keep.”
With another twist of his hand a coin appeared, “Let us say that someone seduced your wife into being unfaithful.” The coin was placed on the side, “His honor has been injured again, so much that now the title of Count is being questioned. He cannot harm his wife for there is no honor in killing a lover, and he cannot bring himself to attack her lover for the man was infact his faithful servant and friend.”
He then takes another coin and sets it aside, “Another coin gone, this one spent when a village within his lands was pillaged by Greenskins and the Baron tasked with its defence failed to commit. For he now lacks so much honor, the Count cannot raise even his own Knights for they do not respect him.”
Showing two coins to Lucian Remon spoke the result, “If he cannot even command his own Knights into battle, then the Victor of the Sunset Games is no longer a Count but simply a Baron. He has always been virtious though, and decided that he shall set off with only his Peasants so that he may protect the people his once foolish subject failed to do.”
The two gold coins, worth more than anything Lucian had seen in his life, dropped from the hand of the Nobleman onto the ground, “The Victor of the Sunset Tournament demonstrates his prowess in battle, but loses his life after killing the Warlord of the Orcs.”
A single finger was now raised towards Lucian, “You, Lucian, are the Victor of the Sunset Tournament. A man declared that because you were a Peasant that you must have cheated and thus do not deserve that honor. What do you do to that man?”
>Simply rebuff him, it does not matter
>Duel him, safely
>To the Death
>Declare a Feud.
For those who want to know more about the concept of Chivalry we will be working with, the Story Meier Helmbrecht is a perfect source. Medieval Death Trip made a great 3 part series about the story, though if you are concerned about time the 2nd part, 'Helmbrecht Returns, or The Dark Robber Knight', puts this in context.
Also, if you want, throw in the point system of CK or Assassinorum: Kingmaker for the best context. I will not be making it a score since that would be against the idea of it being nebulous.
