nunlover 579 Share Posted August 29, 2025 (edited) In the later hours of the day, Lord LUCIEN DE BRIONNES took to the road alongside his bastard, ANDRÉ ASHES. Their venture took them across the countryside of Numendil, as the pair sought out some foe fit to test their steel; yet, the land gave little save silence. At last, when dusk drew nigh and their hunt seemed fruitless, they spied a figure upon the road ahead. A woman, one might think, and yet her countenance was unsightly, for it was surely alike to the twisted visage of Iblees. She identified herself to be ESTER BEAUMONT, a childe born of sin, seeking respite in Numendil after Norland came under Imperial rule. Her tale, however, meant little to neither Lord nor Bastard, who seized her then and there and bore her off toward Waldemer. TO THE TAR OF NUMENDIL, It seems the taking of Princess Madelief of Myrine was not enough to rouse you from the wooded thicket where you cowered in our last battle. No matter. If you would not rise for her, perhaps you will rise for one of your own. If you would see this Ester Beaumont again, returned safely to your land, you’ll find her within the Castle Waldemer, but only by tearing her from our grasp. NO WORDS, BUT DEEDS.

Here he spoke then. "Lucky... I suppose you're not really that 'Lucky'." 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostdrop1 1843 Share Posted August 29, 2025 Reinhard eyed the missive, naturally low upon such reading. "Ah, poor woman. Ester." He muttered, a horned devil himself - much marred, and aged. Subtly did a tsk follow, recounting that he had certainly heard of this one - and how terribly unlikely it was for there to be two cursed Esters. "...Wait- seeking respite...? Did they just ransom a Norlandic devil to Numendil?" A grimace cast over him. "And I thought it was stupid to detest devils." Lowly did he chortle to himself, before the thing was folded. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DancingZebra267 1626 Share Posted August 31, 2025 The old chapter master would frown as he finished reading the missive. He’d toss it to the table with a scoff. "Is this war? Or a child’s game of tag - 'come and get me,' they cry, yet how many times have they been gotten? For we have all heard the story how their own leader, the so-called Lord of Drusco, slipping away from his keep like a rat in the dark when the walls trembled. And now they prance about the countryside snatching innocent bystanders off roadsides like it’s some holy crusade." He'd pace a few steps. "They speak with grand words of righteousness and wrath, but their conduct reeks of theater, not piety. It is clear to me that they're simply boys in borrowed armor playing war, dragging the name of GOD through every ditch they stumble into." Vincenzo would stop then, his expression hardening. "If this is the standard of their fight, then I begin to wonder if they seek victory, or simply attention." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
