French Court (IC Thread)

Thomas Maquereau sits, obviously annoyed with the current conversation...

I hardly see how this is a relevant topic to be discussing now. We have more important things to discuss.

His face tight at his Count's latest remark, Michiel sits silently, obviously restraining himself to hold his tongue

The Count bristles at Thomas's remark. But, seeing his Baronet's expression, Count Guillemot's features soften.

That is a wonderful question Baronet Thomas Maquereau! You might want to ask your Marquess why he brought it up in the first place earlier in the day. All I've done is shed some light on a certain... habit of someone's that happens to be similar to the one that I tend to get raked over the coals for.

Speaking of being over something, it seems the Marquess and I have more in common than I thought...

A mischievous little grin brightens the Count's face.

"Mais oui, Guillemot, mais oui! Keep on discrediting yourself at the court! What would other uncivilized nations think of us if they saw educated Frenchmen bicker like little girls rather then men talking about the future of our world?

Nobles gens, I am truly sorry to have to have inspired de Lyon to show us the depth of his earthly knowledge.

Guillemot, you should try to listen when the grown ups are talking about a serious matter. The Germans, unless decisively defeated, pose an important threat and your childish games distract all of us here. Perhaps if your household servants spent more time cleaning your clothes then, cleaning your pipes, you would not bring with you the whiff of alcohol in every court session you attend. It really does nothing for your credibility."

Turning to face Prince Louis:

"My Prince, the House of Anjou would be delighted to have you orchestrate the next military campaigns against the Germans. However, we must note that due to you being the next in line to the throne and the impressive threat posed by our Germanic foes, it might not be advised to send the cream of France's nobility into such dangerous territory. Especially if most of House Anjou is distracted by a petty struggle back home."

Guillemot ponders what the Marquess has said. He calls over a servant. You can barely make out the words but if you listen closely you hear.

That old goat has a point. Go get Marcy, Darcy, Charlene, what? Charlene has a rash? Ok get Mary then. Tell them all to be at my place later tonight and to find a way to "clean" both things at the same time.

Raoulet sighs.

Prince Louis:

Do not doubt my military acumen, Marquess. In case you have forgotten, I have participated in numerous successful campaigns, most notably the invasion of England itself, time and time again demonstrating that I can keep myself as well as other nobles out of danger.

Baron Arnoud stands

Please, my prince, the Marquess only meant that with threat of Gascony striking from the west, France's eastern front with the Holy Roman Empire could collapse to the ruin of us all. We do not wish our prince to be stranded and alone in the Reich's territory.
