Also I haven't had much free time especially now." When the topic shifted Hope took on a more serious tone. "I intend to occupy the castle as it will prove that I am serious. I will move trivial things such as clothes to a storage room in the castle. More important things like bed's will be kept as is. It's not Marcella's castle it s a castle that belongs to whoever is the duke." [/scrolly] |

It had confused him at first, but he was then reminded that Barons didn't exactly have the fiances Dukes had even if it was above that of the commoner. "When you find the time..." he answered back dryly. As Hope began to explain what he intended to do, Felis nodded his head slowly thinking it over. He couldn't remember off the top of his head if Marcella's family had been there for generations like his had, but he did remember that she was at the end of her line anyways and didn't have any existing family extensions that he was aware of. This left the castle truly to who could claim it. ...It was almost sad how it had come to something like this. If the kingdom had not fallen, would there be such a change? He doubted it, but who knew really outside of the infinite? "And what of the other nobles in the area?" he asked. "How do you plan to establish relations?" It was becoming a long but necessary talk. Without this information exchange, Felis would not make a decision.

This portion Hope didn't give any though to. Hope wen't into a deep thought for a minute or so. The atmosphere became very quiet then Hope looked up. "Well I guess I would contact them at first through a letter and then in person. I will tell them of the situation." Hope said with a wondering tone. "Hopefully they will accept it, however if they don't then." Hope stopped a moment and became a bit more serious. "Then, I would use force as a last resort. I would rather not have to, but if it came to it I will." Hope said sternly. [/scrolly] |

"You seem determined. I can respect that," he hummed with a quiet smile. He just hoped this determination wouldn't falter or corrupt the young man sitting before him. His appetite had somehow managed to kick itself in gear, and after a moment, he reached over and took up another pretzel and took a bite as he thought everything over. "Do you know of any loyalist knights?" was the next question that was posed. Miguel had become a certain figure in protecting the castle, and Felis had come to the conclusion that one needed at least one in a castle.

He told me not to give out his name ,but his alias is Black Bird." Hope stopped for a moment not sure if Felis would recognize the name. It was half praised and half infamous. "He said he would follow and fight for me. I trust him with my life, I'm sure you have someone like that too right?" Hope said almost asking him the name of the person he trust's. [/scrolly] |

"I see..." he nodded making sure he remembered the name so that he could look this man up later. "And yes... I have a loyal knight and a dear friend named Miguel. He lives in the castle with me and does quite a bit of work for me." he smiled and sighed a little thinking on that. If Miguel hadn't come... he would still be so confused, so stressed, and possibly dead... considering the incident that had occurred so long ago now concerning that bull man that was... still in his basement. If not for the time constraints among other things, the two men down there would have been put to work by now, but it seemed that.. every time he tried to get that work done, some other work would come up. "......How do you view commoners?" the question slowly rose to Felis's lips from the reaches of his mind. [/scrolly] |

This was a tough question for the young man. Not only had he been a noble , but he had lived among the commoners for almost 2 year's. Hope was more a commoner then a noble at this point. "I view the commoners equal to myself." Hope said seriously. "I do not nor will I ever think myself above the common man. That's becuase I am a man myself." Hope said unsure of how that answer was. Hope believed in his statement fully. However he was unsure if that is how a noble is supposed to think. Hope then ate a pretzel himself. [/scrolly] |

That... that was good. It sounded as though he was honest, and that meant more to him than anything. If Hope was for the people he would rule over and would actually consider themselves more equal to himself than not, then he would work for their benefit rather than just his own. This would make the entire situation more stable. Smiling a bit more, Felis let a soft hum escape the area. "Very good," he smiled. "And what of those that break the law... I'll admit that the law in some areas has gone array... but the law that was left by Alice." It was the queen's finest motion, he believed. Everything that Nolan had done had started to be soothed by the young woman, and the laws she kept up had been just..

Hope was happy that his answer was approved of. This conversation was going along swimmingly. "The laws are of my top priorities. Most of my time would be spent making sure the laws are followed." Hope said sternly and with a smile. "I wan't to make sure that no one else must suffer what me and my sister we't through. It wouldn't be my duty as a Duke , but as a man." Hope's furry ran deep as he hated the thought of what we't on in era. In his mind a man was someone who protects others not because it needed to be done, but because it was the right thing to do.

"I see," he hummed. "That's good... if we can establish peace in Era, everything...would be good," he hummed a little dreamily. "You remind me of a water lily about ready to bloom," he laughed slightly at his own analogy. "But....I digress..." he stated as his eyes slid sideways. "You seem very strong, Hope, and your intentions seem pure... I'm a bit worried about your education.... but if you promise to pursue it and finish it when you have the time, I will give you my blessing to pursue the Dukedom." [/scrolly] |

Then it came back to his education. The young man got a sinking feeling about what was to come next. Then Felis gave him his blessing ,this slipped right passed Hope for the first few seconds. "I know but,....wait what?" Hope The young man's smile reached from ear to ear. This is that happiest he has been in a long time. "Th-Thank you so much I promise I will pursue my education until I graduate." Hope nodded with excitement. was this really happening the boy wondered. [/scrolly] |

Even with everything that had happened.... this seemed like a good thing. People were being forced to act, and hopefully with Hope standing up to the plate in the west, peace could be ensued... Nodding his head, he slowly picked up a pretzel and bit into it. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask," he smiled gently nodding his head.

Hope said acknowledging his one main weakness. "Thank you Felis this mean's a lot to me." Hope said with a light smile. Then he stood up and stretched his back. "Also I wan't you to know it work's both ways if you need help just give me a call okay." Hope was determined to keep Felis as a friend. [/scrolly] |

Hopefully it wouldn't become a mistake on both their parts to try and balance out this situation in the West. It needed stability, especially in this time of need. Nodding his head at Hope's words, Felis smiled lightly. "Good," was all he answered back before slowly crossing his arms in front of himself. "Seeing as that is done....what do you plan to do for the rest of the day, hm?" he asked raising his eyebrow before smiling slightly.

"I suppose I'll head up north. To go see the northern Duke, and then go down so..." Hope stopped and thought for a moment before continuing."On second thought I'd prefer not to have to deal with the duchess." Hope let out a light hearted chuckle. Hope then got up and said good day to Felis. Walking away he turned and said "I really enjoyed are chat maybe we can do this again. you know under less seriousness business." Then he proceeded to walk out of the castle and fly away on his salamence. Today was a good day Hope thought. [/scrolly] |

As the Salamence appeared, he was tense for a few seconds up until the large creature had flown away with its rider. After that, the blond haired man set a hand on his heart and sighed quietly to himself. Ah... there was still so much to do today. Turning back inside, Felis went to work again.
