They were both very well placed and if Sir Abel would have denied them, it would have been a sign of mistrust. It was quite obvious that the Delecroix lord didn’t like them, but he finally accepted. Something that opened up suddenly completely different ways to deal with Sir Abel. They just had to say that Martine was complaining about unfair treatment and he could visit the castle with Hector to have a serious word with Abel. A serious word getting out of hand…things happen when nobles are together.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">“Alright then, looks like we have an agreement and we should allow the two ladies to have their share of it. Why don’t we meet after the tournament for dinner and you bring your lovely sister with you, while I invite Martine to it. It looks kind of unfair that they are left out of it. Both women are intelligent enough to see the benefits of this agreement.”</span><br/><br/>Damian gave one of the servants a sign and he appeared with three mugs of ale.<br/><span style="color: #FF8000"><br/>“Well, I know that wine would be more suiting, but for now we have to live with ale. On the future of the Delecroix and Karembeux. May it be a long and successful ally. And personally I hope that I will see a lot of grandchildren coming out of it. I just wish that they look more like the mothers and less like the fathers.”</span><br/><br/>Sir Damian gave a deep laugh, something nobody believed him capable of. But in his younger years Sir Damian had laughed a lot. The years had changed him.</div>
