These past couple of weeks have been really busy I made two minor league enemies that really don't matter but one does need to keep up appearances while officially they are on my level socially and on paper but actually those morons couldn't fight a blind crippled thug while he was tied to a chair but this wasn't the only occurrence in my life as my family and I are currently in a shadow war with three prominent families one who we are not entirely certain of who they are but with the help from the new Danvers family heiress we began to narrow down the list of likely candidates unfortunately we realized they are not part of our kingdom meaning they are either from another seeking to weaken ours through internal conflict or they are higher up the food chain and are imperial nobility.
The current problem I'm currently facing are assassination attempts on my person from botched poisonings (as I am immune) to foiled home invasions or currently as a snipper who tried to kill me I used a cocktail waitress as a shield which really pissed me off as she had recently offered to help me relieve me of stress in the bathroom which I was looking forward to even though I knew she was trying to get pregnant so she could live an easy life the important part was that other nobles were hitting on her some out ranking me but she came to me which I found flattering then this ass hole came along and ruined my shirt with her brains.
Me:"Is there really no security at the Tillman house!? look what happened to my shirt!" while I'm complaining about my clothing fat Mrs Tillman rushes over
Mrs Tillman:"I am so sorry about your clothing I'll have something decent for you to change into"
Nobles don't care about human life but while I am discussing clothes that assassin was caught before he could suicide for failure and is being brought down into the lawn party to be interrogated in front of the crowd for information and entertainment as I said before nobles don't value human life or any that isn't their own really as this house is one the more sinister ones as such events of public torture are quite common and the real fo paux was ruining my clothes with their cocktail waitress.
After I get changed and return to the party I find everything is in full swing again as mingle with one another while a few others begin to take turns in torturing the poor would be assassin and it would seem as though they received all relevant information from him and are now just having fun trying to see who can make him suffer the most as he begs and pleads with his torturers who at this point see him as nothing more than a party game as some of guys try to impress some of the girls with their skill as this party is for the scions of the "evil nobility" all while Lord Eric seems to going over the things they got out of him prior not wanting to ruin my new clothes I decided to go see what lord Eric learned while I was getting changed.
Me:"So was this a targeted hit or was this just coincidence because of the type of nobles at this party"
Lord Eric:"It would appear that for once this was random attack against the current aristocracy a bunch of ingrateful peasants not satisfied with the hand they were dealt but it seems odd how they got past the Tillmans security to get this close without anyone being alerted and we already checked the Tillmans off the list as this really isn't their style not to mention they wouldn't want this occurring in their home as it would look bad"
