>>5488656>>5488672>>5488753You sir, are clever as a fox.
>>5488797>>5488892Of course, Ancel is not very gracious or of polite company but he is crafty and smells tracks well.
>>5489026They maybe want to educate the young man, into our benevolent influence this bookish boring young lordling will maybe become a true knight.
>>5489101Maybe he wanted to see if you were harsh enough ? Or thought that you were too much ? You answered.
-Only during great feasts when my brave Ancel is allowed to eat our leftovers, we must not spoil him too much.
He looked as to know if it was a joke, since you were always joyful. But when you threw another bunch of meat to the man who caught it mid flight and put it into his large mouth with yellow teeth. You smiled while you made sign to your servants to begin the second service, that was as per custom made of different soups. He explained you.
-And you do not think that this is backwards ? And barbaric. Human beings deserve to be treated with humanity.
-I treat him kindly, he is well fed.
This man seemed to be at the same level of disillusion as lady Sue, and she was a red haired woman ! No, really, books made men less intelligent than they were before reading them, putting other's ideas in their minds instead of letting them reach the obvious conclusions about the world that was around them. The man looked at you with his dark eyes and explained.
-You could let him go eat at our table.
Ancel ? At a table ? This man was absolutely mad ! He clearly hadn't been beaten enough in his youth to understand the world. Even Indians understood that Ancel did not belong to polite company. And this young man had travelled with the scout on the way here. You looked at Lady Takable and she looked at you quite uncomfortably, she looked at Ancel, and how he ate on the floor like a pig, splashing a bit of bacon under his pants since he hadn't seen it. You understood that she didn't want this near her when she ate, and preferably not in her field of vision and that she hesitated to endure this sight for the simple pleasure of your guest. You looked at the youngest count's son and explained.
>You mean eating with commoners ? It is already scandalous that some burgher sons pretend to eat at the same table as descendants of families that had chivalry in their blood since the time of the Franks and now we should eat with children of dung collectors ? >Ancel is not a nobleman and knows nothing about proper table manners. And eating at the table would make him uncomfortable. It will make you uncomfortable Ancel isn't it ? (Intrigue roll)>As you wish my lord. >Other (write in).
