Hmm…
A few months later, the Baron receives a letter.
‘Dear Owen. It’s the funniest thing… You remember that… uh… ‘reconciliation’ we had after arguing about who failed Gron more? I’m not sure how else to put this but… we’re going to have another chance to do better…. in about six more months."
(The baron turns white.) "Aide… how many people, including you, have seen this… uh, very cryptic and clearly encoded message?"
"Too many for ‘I can solve this with a few selective beheadings’ and not enough for ‘It’s time to load the treasury into carts and flee my own territory and go into hiding in another country before my own people lynch me’."
"…………You’re a very EXPERIENCED Aide, aren’t you?"
"That’s how I got to be an OLD Aide, m’lord."
God this is sad…
