A Declaration Of Bannership

[OnyxXIII]

Gallus slid over a document he pulled from a leather folder, pointing at a blank spot at the bottom. "Just sign there, Ser Leopold, and we have an agreement."

Leopold would read over the document quickly, but with care, noting the wording of each sentence. Nodding in satisfaction, he would pick up his pen and scrawl a neat signature at the bottom, then grab a stick of red wax, which he would, with practiced precision melt over a candle, then drip onto the bottom corner of the paper, quickly pressing his signet ring into it.

When the wax hardened, leaving the bold impression of a falcon in flight in the blob of red, it was done.


I, Leopold II Winslough of Ostlaukirchen, do henceforth declare myself and my House a vassal under Lord Gallus Tyrannian of Carroburgen until House Winslough accrues a title equivalent of three title weight, Count or otherwise. We willfully pledge our allegiance to House Tyrannian and furthermore realize his authority over our House for the time being.

Signed,

Leopold II Winslough



Leopold would raise his glass, the other following suit. With a smile he'd softly exclaim "To the future, gentlemen!" As they followed suit and each downed their glasses, Leopold would feel a certain swell of satisfaction at this arrangement. It was going to be a good day.

Azara looked at the declaration, an almost cynical grin forming on her face as she looked to her cousin across the room.
"Well done cousin. You've done well." she just commented taking a good sip of water. @Aespair

After hearing this agreement from Leopold, Frederick went to simply nod. "We're moving up, and we can only propel from here."

"Spirit above. Is there some loophole to reach three while vassalised? Why the bloody void do people keep doing this?"

Peter Winslough overlooked the declaration, nodding with satisfaction. He then turned over to his cousin, House Guard Commander Niko Winslough in the Falcon's Armoury Family Forge, saying "Well, our family does need /capable/ allies, I'm sure both House Tyrannian and Winslough will profit from this. Even if it means bending the knee. Afterall, Winsloughs only bend to the /strong/."

Click to shrink...

Lucien glances over to his cousin, tilting his head, and going to read the declaration. "A title weight overall. For the entire house. I'd assume they have to have two titled nobles in the house, no?" He shrugs, going to return to whatever he was doing.

Juliette frowned and waved her chambermaid away after she'd delivered the daily news, including a certain announcement of a new vassal. She sat a moment in silence before muttering only, "Eugh, Winsloughs."
