Dame Rose,
I will speak of the same points, but from a different direction. You know nothing of me. I am just "one of the common adventurers" to you and most others who hold a title. But you underestimate the love we "common people" have for our Duke. I will not threaten you, as it is below me, but I will inform you of this: As I watch out tattered lands fight to exist, I see the loyalty Duke Nevin has displayed WHOLE HEARTEDLY to his people. Yes, if it comes to civil war, we all lose; but also see this point: We need to SAVE our lands, other wise there will be nothing left to fight FOR! If you insist on pursuing my Dukes "punishment" and "coming after him", can you not set it aside until the larger threat is handled, and then take up this task, perhaps more gracefully, when we know our very EXISTENCE is safe? For if you do not exist, you can not enact your judgment, can you. If we do not concur this threat that knocks on ALL of our doors, Common, Noble and Paladin alike, there is no point to your anger and threat.
I will also warn you. You will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. You already harbor the bad image of ""hiding" while the rest of us spill our blood and life-essence fighting to hold the lands YOU TOO are a part of. Do you REALLY intend on making that worse by threatening a Duke as beloved as ours? His Grace is a man of his people, and has stepped into a position not only as a Duke to his lands, but as a sort of "light in the Dark". I would be very wary of how one speaks to such a man with such power, love and friendship behind him.
