Only a man with questionable virtue and motive could swing his bag of richards across these boards like this after the truth about the intentions of the Verdant Ennoble's knighthood were so clearly stated in the Briar Lord's own tongue.

Clearly, being the progenitor of something means more to you than it did me, and you're willing to go to great and rather dishonourable lengths to secure it. I should have realised when I saw the deplorable conditions that the serfs of your Keep exist in that you were a man more concerned about image and status than any meaningful chivalric code.

Although the dotypolle that Cwincan has made you into will be difficult to top, if you continue to malign my shared honesty as anything other than good intention, I will publicise the entirety of the dialogues we shared, Sir Aerek, plastering them on posters from Aster Keep to Eleusis.

Either by your word or mine, everyone will see the numerous compliments you offered on the reformation of the Aalen lineage's knighthood, which my and Milabara hand fashioned, and the positive working relationship you and I actually shared.
