>>6014824>>6014924>>6014950>>6015010I always try to do some research before posting, especially about information about the Middle-Ages, I already research about it quite a lot, as much for work as for pleasure, but this quest helped me much in the domain. I try to squeeze sometimes some subtle "medievist jokes" in the updates.
>>6015183>>6015564You decided to stay on the main square and see the acrobats. Telling the brave Brother Louis.
-Let us see the acrobats Brother Louis, some seem to be terribly agile.
-And lightly clothed... Monseigneur you are soon to be wed, it would be improper to look at these lasses.
Effectively, you saw three lightly clothed guelph and half guelph ladies doing some evocative dances, then climbing on each other, flipping and carthweeling. Since you were quite tall you had a solid view. You saw one of these demons too, that the locals called Tieflings, breath fire, you saw men do it but knew that he did it naturally, and so you did the sign of the cross. Then you looked at the cow man when he juggled. Answering the grim warrior-monk you told him, quite teasingly.
-Dear Brother, I know that you are a pious man, but do not tell me that you do not appreciate the flesh.
-I have sworn a vow of chastity monseigneur...
You knew that he was respecting it, even if you saw him glance at some girls sometimes he always did the sign of the cross after or mortified his flesh. You still laughed.
-You were at the crusades after all, and we all know that at this moment clerics raised their cassocks, and not only to fight more effectively hahaha !
The man had a small smile but stayed stoic, answering.
-Monseigneur, I have never, but I am an old man and have more control over my basic impulses.
It made you laugh, while you saw how one of the girls, a pretty blonde guelph jumping inhumanely high after doing a hanstand and finishing right on the shoulders of a huge burly acrobat who then threw her on a rope that served to attach clothes between two houses that she climbed on with agility and then, astonishingly walked on it. You saw it sometimes in France but it was impressive, and the girl... By Saint Denis, you loved supple girls, you should too dear listener of this chanson, just imagine what could they do in bed.
You remembered Bohémond having an affair with a gipsy acrobat from a travelling band of performers, she was called Esmeralda or something like this. You never tried, fearing the diseases that come with gipsies, but here this Guelph beauty was not one of them, she was clearly of pure frankish blood and with some hygiene. You were thinking about definetely not christian thoughts when you saw a blur of movement, and Brother Louis taking the hand of a small red haired boy. The boy tried to protest but the Templar had his wrist in an iron grip and told.
-You vile thief, you were trying to cut purses.
