- Lord, Papa, Grand Master and protector of our Holy order, there are some men here who wants to see men with strange wrapping around their heads and they say they have gift of culinary soap!
- Ah,I think I know who that is,let them in, tell the chef to make some extra portions for my evening supper...
- Shall be done, my holiest leader and beacon of light!
The warrior monk goes away to get the visitors...
When he is back with the visitors, they Were exactly the ones Henricus expected them to be... The ex-emir and his closest men...
- Hello Holy leader, du you remember an old friend and ally?
I have brought you a collection of our new collection of culinary soap, we make them in the capital to finance our planned retake of my lost kingdom!
- I am so glad to see you, I heard of the sad news of the sacking of the kingdom, very sad indeed... sit down I have already told our chef to make more food it will be crayfish and wine, oh I forgot you don´t drink these beverages who intoxicate the mind... and I recall now you don´t eat anything carrying it´s armor on the outside of the body... I will tell chef to do some more Middle-easterling styled food and drink...
- No worry my old friend, I have adjusted to your culture while living in the capital, a glass of wine would be fine...
- Chef, bring wine for the Emir! can I call you Emir? what is your correct title now? I have been promoted people, he, he
- Call me Emir, that will be fine, I am still seen as such by my people residing in the capital and I plan to retake my Emirate from those nasty Scando-slavians and the infidel barbarians, now have some culinary soap, they are especially made for you, a Deluxe edition, they have two flavors each, we mold them in to one single piece...
- Chew, Chew, mmm, they go great to my own produced wine, still they lack the foaminess of the old ones you used to make...
- Yes and you wine is lovely much more sting to it than the watery stuff I have tasted in the city taverns...But Dear old Friend, I have a small proposition, I want us to make business together again...
- Spill it, dear old friend, no not the wine! I meant tell me you plans...
- Haven´t you guessed yet?
Yes you have! ...anyhow. the word around town is that you have gotten really rich... perhaps the richest on this side of the border...
- Yes, they people here in the village support us for their protection and for guidance of their souls, we provide both... the provide us with what they grow on the fields and what animals they raise and slaughter...
this all was good business, but then I discovered that they did nothing at night except for sleep, so I started a mine so they could do something sensible at night and guess what, we struck gold in not only a figurative way...
- I see, but I heard by city rumors that the Forestmen want´s to steal your hard earned property... have you still not guessed why I am here, eh, well except for visiting an old good friend, I have also heard that the queen has been eye-balling you treasure chests and doesn´t really approve with they way you run your business here...
- Oh I get it, you mean that we should join forces and retake you homeland, excuse my slowness I think I have had to many crates of wine today... but hey what is in it for me?
- this is my plan, you fund my exile-army with some of your gold, when I again rule my Emirate, you will proclaim loyalty to me instead of the queen, the queen wants peace, she is obsessed by peace, so if you are a vassal to me instead of her, she won´t do anything to your here you small "religious state" and then you won´t have any problems with the Forestmen since they are very loyal to the queen as long as they can run their little "Peoples state" which is constantly in factional infighting and revolutions...
- Now we are talking my dear friend, but I want to add one thing to this little scheme... Make me religious leader of both my faith and yours, then we will both have our balls in each others pouches, ok, That sounded, weird, it must be the wine, but you get my drift...
- My dear beloved Henricus, I think this will be a fine collaboration, cheers for our common future and for my soap, your wine and our people...
