Duchy of Bretagne

[Andres]

I would have done as the Edicts said and nothing more.

I would have read between the lines that it wasn't the King's desire to go on frivolous expeditions and thus, I would have refrained myself from doing so. Unless, of course, I had a clear and obvious written order with the Kings' stamp on it. But the initiative and the idea would have to be his, not mine.

As for my presence at the battlefield, I would have joined the King's army. First, because he's the King and it is our task to protect his life. Second, well, one can't make big mistakes in the eyes of the King when he's following his lead. Third, maybe, just maybe, the King would never forget the man who was riding next to him and blocked that sword that was aimed at his head.

But then again, I am a man who is used to obey and do as he's told by others.

You on the contrary are a man who thinks for himself and orders others.

Maybe that is exactly what has caused this inconvenient situation, mon Duc. Perhaps, you were too creative.
