To the pea brained dullard bootlicker of Orenian Society,

 

Since our last meet in which you provided naught but senseless reviles, it is blatant that you should have come away from your lackluster and half-witted guard duty. I assure you would likely come up with another excuse, one common from the frail boned Orenian Ilk, being; duels are not permitted in Orenian law! Well, in that case if you desire to run that ill-washed mouth of yours for a moment longer I should challenge you to a duel on Haeseni soil. From where honour is gained akin to times of old, where men would clash steel with steel to settle disputes rather than to cry to the next pench-pinching laywerman. So if you wish to back your words behind true mettle, present yourself within Haeseni lands, and we’ll even make a show of it while you’re here. A duel. Though, with your first excuse offered, I can only surmise your boots would have too much of a woman’s tremble to come along?

 

With hopes that you’ll not be an afeared shitbag,

His Grace, Ruslan Baruch

Upon hearing the whispers of the Haeseni court, on the topic of a certain Duke and an issued duel, Keonas Annika would relax within her husbands office, lounging on the sofa in front of his fireplace. "Finally, some entertainment!" She exclaimed, a hearty grin on her face. "Dobry thing we came back from out honeymoon just in time." The sun-kissed woman would go back to reading her gossip columns, enjoying her last evening of peace before her return to queenly duties.

          Sofyania Borovský grins wide at the thought of a duel. "Stab vy sword through his wig and run off with it! It'll make a fine bird nest." The Raevir woman sits back in the Haense tavern, enjoying the warm fireplace and the companionship of her new friends.

Dame Viktoriya glanced out from her office to hear two other soldiers of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl gossiping of the duel. She cracked a grin, walking back in to mark a date down on her calendar.

"An Othaman getting beaten bloody . . ." that Hanseni began, laughing as she murmured out the next-  "And I don't have to pay to see it? This'll end just like Sergi, damned rat bastard, that man. At least this Rorislav might have the honor to accept," posthaste while she dipped the quill in ink.

"Hopefully the Othaman does niet break his ankle just after starting.." Otto August remarked to the Duke himself after being told of the news shortly after the sending of the letter!

[Orlanth 3525]

Diomé Indoren is shocked "A Haenser that doesn't bend the knee to Orenians at every turn? Now I've seen everything." 

[giambro 611]

Smiled lightly as he read the missive, "This would niet be a fair fight for the Othaman, I am afraid. I would niet mess with Lord Baruch at all.." he chuckled and pasted the letter on the wall.

Concern swept over Adalia Ruthern's visage as news of the challenged duel fuelled the whispered gossip within the walls of Karosgrad "Make sure vy look vyr best for the fight, if vy are caught slipping vy need to at least look good." she would comment to the Duke
