"But before that, Robert, tell me your thoughts. There are some things I would rather hear from your own mouth.
Though arrogant nobles may see faith as a tool, to be picked up and discarded at will, their past oaths can become worth less than filth in an instant when profit is at stake.
The nauseating stench of filth can at least make one dizzy for a moment, but a broken oath is as cheap as air, gone in a flash.
For these nobles to still proclaim their Devotion… what an absurd world.
But if even a verbal contract cannot be honored, then things will only become more absurd, and there will be no need for us to continue this discussion."
Lanfranc slowly walked toward Robert.

"No matter how eloquent your representative is, or how skilled he is at scheming."
"Everything is as Eric said. He speaks for me."
Robert glanced at Eric and said slowly to Lanfranc.
