None. The king is in such a rage that no one wants to see him anyway!
Gossip
“That duke! He deserves only the worst.”
“Can you believe the arrogance of Cornwall? How dare he insult our good and victorious king?”
“Don’t you think this is just more bad news, though? The king fighting the dukes? Who will be next, Lindsey?”
News
Prince Madoc: “We are going to war. That damned Cornwall will finally get what he deserves! Bring your troops to Sarum.”
Belleus: “Another fleet of Saxons has landed in the south. Are their dead just rising up to fall upon us once again?! I swear upon the sacred bones of my mother and of Saint George to attack them this summer.”
Count Roderick: “More Saxons in the south! I am leaving all my foot soldiers home to garrison my castles. I will comply with the muster with only my knights.”
Ulfius: “Old King Hengest of Kent has died, and in bed at that. His son Aesc is going to be the next king of Kent.”
Royal Conversation
“I have been insulted deeply, and for no good reason. Gorlois, the Duke of Cornwall has broken his word and violated our hospitality. His sudden flight from our court proves he is guilty; no other information need be sought. Worse, though, his people slew some servants in their escape, and they stole treasure when they fled. Gorlois is guilty."
“Disloyalty and dishonor are not welcome in this kingdom. It is the obligation of every noble to serve with distinction and to uphold noblesse oblige. Anyone who disobeys these laws is a traitor."
“Gorlois is a traitor.”
