A southernly port where cultures and norms of society mix and clash with each other?

A westernly city akin to Marienburg, home of current squire in play?

An easternly outpost at the edge of kingdom's borders, a beginning of thisverse's Silk Road?

A northernly fortress where young men prove themselves in combat with giants, wildlings and mystical beasts?

Centre of the kingdom, trapping the young squire in a thick web of decadent court's schemings and plots?

Is horseback archery really that important of a skill?  We could hardly make use of it in a true battle, given no one else seems to train in it in this area and charging out like that alone would be foolish.

[Andres]

The kingdom's been at peace for a very long time. We're unlikely to end up in any big battles. It'll be pretty useful for dealing with bandits, though.

Also ask Metella to come with us to the markets to find some cloths. Remember for it be something in the darker colors and explain it to Matella again. Oh, an size remember shes like 16 and taller than us.

[Lucus Casius]

So, what, is Matella the Éponine to Honso's Marius and Fenya's Cosette?

I mean, I guess the analogy isn't perfect given the setting and all but still.

I am so glad that you made that refrence. What if we got her and Redford to wed? Redford would look legit and Matella would get the riches she always wanted. Simple if we can get them to like each other to that level. An of course if Matella can deal with her husbands..fabulous preferences.

[Andres]

I'm under 18 and what are you two talking about?

[Lucus Casius]

Les Misérables.

[3man75]

Les Misérables.

2012 version with the singing is amazing. However, it's a very love it or hate it type of film.

[Sheb]

Well, I don't think Redfort's father would be really pleased with him marrying a commoner.

[Generally me]

He disowned Redford that means he doesn't care about him

Also lets train horse riding and archery NOT horse archery

[Andres]

Considering he then proceeded to thoroughly whip his son's crotch it can be surmised that his father doesn't care about him any more.

i didn't want to marry Fenya anyway so that is fine

[Andres]

Here's the letter we should prepare but not send:
Question the possibility of a better marriage. Regardless of our own emotions, this seems like the best deal we can find. Any other wife can only be useful in influencing her land-holding family and with unsure degrees of success. Marrying Fenya means direct access to another holding and we can call on her aid without issue.
Her family is also without enemies and is unlikely to make any due to her quasi-protected status by the king. Marrying someone else entitles a greater risk of being called even when it's greatly disadvantageous to us.
Just in case our father isn't convinced, we should write to ask about what potential wives he has in mind. That way, we can play towards convincing him of the usefulness in marrying Fenya while also keeping on his good side by being open to "listening to reason".

We should write to Fenya that our father has declined the marriage and feels that we're being too emotional. We plan to send him a letter listing the reasons why a marriage would be practical and in our favour for non-emotional reasons. If she can think of any reasons why it would be good to us from a purely practical perspective to marry her then we can include those reasons in our letter. Once we get a reply we can include it in our letter to father and sent it off to him. In the meantime it would be best if we stopped sending each-other love letters in case they end up being used against us to show that we're being too emotional about the situation. We hope she understands.

What Andres said. Precise in the letter that while we think our father's wrong to oppose the marriage, we will eventually accept his decision.
