Who is the one being extorted? Driving up the price of competing properties to force us to spend funds in denial sounds like the pinnacle of extortion to me.
Claim its for any other reason, it is to bend us further out of alignment towards our goals. it’s transparent what is happening and I would prefer you drop this facade of nobility when you are the one truly acting sinister here
This could be a very easy auction, one where we save our wealth and collective power against the king. Cease this nonsense and stop competing against our farms
Not once have we gone out of our ways to spite your people. Even when given the opportunity. Do not change that.
Frankly, us regions should be working together. Together, we can lower the king’s (non-monetary) power and drive the current throne into disrepair. Us who wish to whip up our people into a defiant frenzy could begin planting the seeds to do so as well. Divided we may fall, but united we have a chance to do great things to topple this tyrant
Augustin recoils, eyes wide, clutching his sash. After a dozen labored breaths, he turns his soft eyes up towards the air besides Marissa’s head.
“And what are your ladyship’s goals, County? Why do you fight against your own commoners? A noble who does not shirks their duties shall receive no respect from me or the Ninth.”
He spits at her feet. Tilting his head, he meets her eyes with a cold, disinterested frown.
“The lack of respect your ladyship has for his Majesty or any of His children is disgusting, and so is your ladyship’s prideful greed for power. Your ladyship should be ashamed of herself, County.” He puts a hand on his sabre. “And your ladyship and the people like you try to seize power from noblemen who do fulfil their duties, County… I will fight to the bitter end.”

“You have no right to call me spiteful, County, when your ladyship is obstructing me from carrying out my duties as a nobleman.”

It would be a disservice to his “Majesty” to pretend I held any regard for his well-being.
He has worked closely with me in the past. I at times considered him my closest acquaintance. We are counts, after all. Whether he wishes to embrace his origin or not. He knows me and knows how I operate. With full transparency. To act otherwise would be a true act of disrespect

At this point I am bored enough to be willing to learn more about this world’s lore. In particular the kingdom and its neighboring countries.
