Sorry my son but it would appear my border guards found your presence insulting. Best join the free peasants and try toiling in the fields for your meals. Warfare is no place for hobbits.
With all due respect to your Grace;
Toiling in the fields would be preferable to just being a brood hen spawning troops for your castle. I realize I made some diplomatic faux pas, and perhaps should have let you know I intended to keep up my vassalage. But, alas, I don't use steam.
Fortunately, I'm figuring out this strat game, and hope to make some money and might have a chance to have some fun, as a good "vulture come to grow fat on the remains of war". An indie can still make friends and can perhaps have a slight influence. Personally, I like many others, would like to see more indies. I understand that is not the best way to build empires, as reliability isn't guaranteed, but I really do like chaos.
Hope to battle next to you soon, your kingship,
your bleeding, beaten friend
