Tell me, Kaiserguard, are you an emaciated hidalgo who owns a lance and an ancient shield and a skinny nag and a greyhound? Do any of the following people live in your house?
1. A housekeeper, above 40 years of age
2. your niece, who's not quite yet 20
3. a young boy who helps around your stables
And, most importantly, have you been reading lots of chivalrous tales, to the point of practically not sleeping, eating, or drinking? Perhaps you have begun confusing windmills for giants?
And god help your poor, bumbling neighbor, who you may very well be trying to recruit as a squire, with the lure of distant riches, governorships, and fantastical island paradises.
