1183 AD, Late Autumn
You receive a very intriguing letter from Duke Abron Patterne of Province Milan in western Ysirene.
Apparently, his son, during a hunt, was accosted by a drunkard and vagabond, and a brief scuffle occured. The Duke's boy received a gash on his forehead while the drunkard received lashes. That's when the thug claimed revenge on all of Duke's family because he is Methiantese royalty.
While the Duke was sure the man was spewing drunken lies, one of his courtiers did mention a story about a Methiantese nobleman living in Milan once, having fled some terrible civil war or power struggle. On the other hand, the history of the drunk (or rather stories collaborated by his neighbours when he still had a home) suggests his wife was a commoner of sorts and left with their four children when the drunk began to overindulge the bottle, that's when he lost his job as a farmer, then sold his house and went for the streets and forests.
The man has been imprisoned and his bearded, smelly persona is none that of a proper nobleman, and his name is Son. Or something like that, the Duke's guards weren't able to get the information from him at the time of writing of this letter.
Still, the Duke felt a tiny bit concerned and that's why he decided to send you this letter. He is also offering to execute the drunk if you felt offended by the mugger's claims even for a moment.
You decide to...
A) Ignore the letter because a Milanese drunkard is Duke's problem, not yours.
B) Send a reply in which you grant the drunk mercy.
C) Consult the Spymaster about this.
D) Send a reply in which you express your desire to have this impostor killed.
