Big loaf supreme
"It is unusual for a High lord to travel to the imperial capital." Vigot answered, now feeling more comfortable with knowing Adelaide's name "We typically are meant to stay at our post and would send recruiters down south. There have been times when High lords would leave the post for some reason or another. Most of those cases, they were summoned by the emperor or beckoned by one of the other rulers. Save for one. However we don't talk about the Bandit lord with descriptives that would be appropriate for these gatherings." He turned his head to the prince "While looking to refresh our ranks isn't our main goal, I wouldn't pass up a chance. Pila can take a look at the stock you have gathered after the council meeting."Oh? Do you usually come here for new warriors? With the murmurs and looks I saw upon your arrival. I was convinced this was uncommon, something to worry over.
"If there is time, I can go there now, Highlord." The woman sound rather eager "An inspection of the stockades would be rather routine and I can assign any new recruits to be taken back by the Ump brothers. Those three were recruited from here so they would know how to keep them in line."
"The Ump brothers, dear Pila?" Goldbert asked with a mix of curiosity and confusion "Which ones were they?"
"Lump, Dump and...Hump." The shieldmaiden felt uncomfortable as she realized what sort of company she was in. Pila hated saying those names. "Three dumb street rats that I trained into proficient soldiers and taught how to read. Later was harder than the former by an order of magnitude." She spoke more confidence in order to push through the unfortunate naming of those three.
"Your grace and lady Adelaide, I ask to forgive the crude names you may hear for the watchers." Vigot spoke again to cut any banter between the two lieutenants short "Many of them don't have documentation of their names and have resorted to picking new ones for their new life. Some are smart enough to pick a normal name while other let their imagination fly. Even if said imagination is limited."
