The drunkard Margrave, Edmond Guiscard de Rouen, feasted solely in Lyon’s Hall. Various pitchers scattered about the dining table, all being consumed promptly. Fyodor Kovachev, a close companion and ally, bursted into the hall. The smell of ale and rum enhanced as he drew closer into Edmond’s proximity. 

 

"Ah, Fyodor!" Edmond bellowed with spirit, striking his palm onto the table. “Come and drink with me.”  Fyodor did so, ensuring the pitcher was slightly out of Edmond’s reach. “I bring news concerning your wife.” Fyodor spoke plainly. "My wife?" Edmond furrowed his brows, seemingly muddled. “What of Vivenne?”

 

Fyodor described that Vivenne was having an affair, spotting her with another man by a narrow lake just south of Drusco. He refused to say his name. Edmond shot up hastily, marching towards Fyodor reaching his palms towards his throat. “Your words are untrue and sickening.” Edmond barked as Fyodor attempted to defend himself. The drunkard stumbled towards the ground. “I am speaking nothing but the truth, for your own good.” Fyodor extended an arm towards him, lifting him up and positioning him on a nearby stool. Edmond sat down roughly, jolting about on the chair.

 

"Leave me, let me think on his matter.” Edmond commanded, his eyes fixated on a cup of Rum Rouennias.

Jamukha would feel bad as he heard the news of the Margrave finding out “He has only just now heard the news? I have seen her with many different men these pasts several months”

Sir Adrien tutted, shaking his head as he burned the missive "As a wise man once told me.. If she cheats, she belongs to the streets."
