Conseil du Royaume

[OverKnight]

Hugues speaks.

Congratulations to the Dauphin and his new bride. I wish them many fat and happy children. Our own Princess Constance is quite the matchmaker and skilled diplomat.

Hugues nods to Hermant.

A stroke of good fortune at Metz. The rebel Captain threw himself upon our lances during an ill timed sally. Bertin de Montsault and Thomas de Saint-Amand and their companies fought well in a sharp melee with him.

It seems the Germans are taking a tour of our Kingdom. I hope when they realize that the rebel pickings in the area have thinned out they will go home.

Also to the Seneschal, if you're are not too busy swimming the channel: Bertin and I are more than willing to construct watchtowers on our new borders. Just don't send us more than a season's march from Metz if you would. Of course if the Germans become more active our focus will be on them.

(OOC: You have permission to move Hugues and Bertin if we haven't moved them ourselves by the end of the turn to establish watchtowers.)

Oh and Duc Alain, you mentioned building a mustering hall at Metz in the reports, but it appears work has stopped. Perhaps a quick note to the foreman would clear the matter up? Your choice of course.
