Well, what’s your name?
Antonius Cinhil, sir.
Aye. And from whence do you hail?
Helena, sir.
Alright, alright, that’s a fine place this time of season. How many years have you lived?
Seventeen in total, soon to be eighteen.
Got it. Your ethnicity, good man? I can’t make it out.
Heartlander, sir.
Mmm. I never would have expected it. Are you literate?
Of course, self taught.
Good, that won’t hurt you. Do you have a wife at home, or children?
Not at all, sir.
They call Sixtus the Third ‘the Lewd’ for having two bastards. Don’t be like him. Have you got anything against taking oaths?
I’ve no issue against oaths, as long as they are just.
You’re all set. I’ll have this filed away to the Prelate at once. He’s all the way off in Pembroke, at least a day’s trip. Give him a while.
