"Hwhat?! Nho tax ghold? Bring Utter Ruin Nhow the fhoods, then! Bring Utter Ruin Nhow it all! Muahahahhaha!!!"
"Uhm... are you okay captain? You're starting to sound a bit evil and crazy..."
"HWHAT?! I'm nhot crazy, yhou nhooblet! But I am Chookhoo, Ratihonally-challenged And Zany Yessss...."
"Nhow sthop questihoning my horders and BURN it all!!!"
-whispers in the back-
"Psst, does His Grace know his captain is such a loony nutcase?"
"Bleh, who knows, who cares? He promised us all the gold we could loot, but so far I haven't seen one piece of it..."
"Yeah, that sucks."
"Besides, I think all he cares about nowadays is bringing Soliferum's judge to justice. We're all just tools to him, really. Just be glad you're not infantry, my friend, because those boys never seem to make it home alive..."
-gulp-
"He authorized you to do WHAT?" Xarnelf angrily inquired of his visitor.
The young sergeant paled as he stammered back a reply. "Captain told us to burn some local houses, milord. The boys didn't seem to mind much, since they haven't been paid their salary yet. So they took their anger out on the peasants."
The duke sighed heavily, rubbing at his face with the palm of one hand.
"We, that is uhm--us sergeants--well, we think he's gone crazy, milord. That's why I came in to report, in case you hadn't heard already."
Xarnelf nodded and took a deep breath. Then, he promoted the soldier. "I will speak with former captain Aldebrand momentarily. Congratulations, son, you are now the new captain. No more pillaging, do you hear me? We only target the tax gold and the military infrastructure, as originally instructed."
"Understood, milord."
"Good, dismissed."
