Courting people will be quite simple. If you are going for a lowborn, you specify what traits you want and then I get my dice ready. The result will be interpreted to how close can you get to your mark. If you want to court someone of higher status, you will have a list of potential brides and grooms. For now, though, you pretty much will have a hard time impressing a noblewoman.
Oz Berren:
"Lord Guillem, were you harmed in the battle at all? I would like to know if I did my job well and helped you to not meet a gruesome end. Or a acquire a grievous wound."
Make idle chit chat with my Lord Guillem.
"Oz, dear friend, I am perfectly fine. The only thing that heathen hurt is my pride. But there are more pressing matters right now. Aspikov ((the Duke's spymaster)) tells me of recent activity by the raiders in the north. we must recruit a standing army, and fast. I've been told that there may be a war proper if we do not prepare men. I have also been told that the Councils in the south may be up to something. I need to send a trusted person there, to stay there in their court and report me on their activities. Could you recommend me someone? Maybe you yourself could go?"

Find out about the current events and notable people in the Duke's court.
Duke Guillem's court is mostly consisting of the people in his bodyguard (you for an example), his spymaster Aspikov (a wealthy and influential merchant, now employed by your liege to secure the internal safety of the realm), the High Priest, a minstrel Hochragel and John Komas, the lord's advisor.
You overhear Berren's conversation about the Councils. Maybe that could help gaining fame?
"The greatest accommodations and fortifications. Thy fortress is of marvelous proportions. Now, if thou would allow thee to meet the council."
Begin to socialize with the Duke's council, and attempt to make friends
After you return to the castle with the rest of the army, you invite John Komas and Aspikov for dinner. You all get along well, and you during the conversation you learn about the threat of a raid and the threat of the Council's attack. You realize that this could be potentially a great way to get in Guillem's favor, or a way to take his titles from right under him.

You organize a small party for the people at court and you meet all of the important people at court ((a general list in StrawBarrel's turn)) as well as a few newcomers. You also spot a beautiful, polite dame. You really like her, but you don't know much about her, except for her name, Joen Limse.
