>>5955964A wise decision, a good lord always values the opinion of those close to him.
>>5956081That is objectively true.
>>5956305>>5956316>>5956477>>5957153Looking at your love you told her.
-He seems fine, for an Italian I guess.
She slowly agreed with you and squeezed your hand that she held and mounted on her tiptoes to whisper into your ear.
-Yes... You had an adorable expression when he complimented me too much, you look passionate when you are jealous.
You turned towards her, she had a playful smile on her face and you answered her, almost playfully too.
-I hope that you will not try to make me jealous only to see it.
She took both of your hands, assuring that you were somewhere in a niche in the room, away from the eyes of the rest of the public.
-No, you were always only kind to me, and I shall never betray you.
You wanted to kiss her or hug her hearing her words and the emotion in her voice but it would have been improper so you simply kindly squeezed her hands and looked at her. Remaining silent before asking.
-You are more clever than me in these games of intrigue, what was the hidden meaning behind this performance ?
She answered you, quite modestly.
-I am still young Charles, I... Do not know...
She then thought a bit more before telling.
-It is... I mean, it is hard to read elves, they do not have exactly the same expressions as us, and I never saw him so close before. But his words, even when he spoke to the Neutral Lord about gaining something in the underworld made lord Swiss Neutralsson fearful. I know what you will say, that he is a coward and will never act, but lord Swiss is very intelligent. If he was afraid, even if it was hard to see it, it probably meant that his words had a double meaning.
You tried to answer.
-Maybe that he will gain a place in the underworld, a tomb.
Rose had a small smile.
-Amusing... If it is the case, but he would have spoken of the hells... Or.. well, whatever, I need to see him more to know.
You nodded and then asked your lovely bride.
-And about your lands, you think that he will give them back ? Should we try to speak to him ?
She then answered.
-My father used to tell me "those who ask will never get anything, but those who never ask will never get anything too". We would not lose anything by asking, but maybe after knowing him a bit more, like after the banquet, and after he is crowned, when he is in a good mood. He seems to like us.
