章 492: English Ambitions

Within a dimly lit castle sat a short yet burly man. This man had a long brown beard combed to perfection; his hair was in a similarly long and straight state. The short man was dressed in attire that would be luxurious for his Kingdom but when compared to the wealth of his neighbors, across the English channel was more fitting being worn by a pauper than a King. 

The Banners of the House of Lancaster were proudly displayed behind his throne, and despite this, they appeared to be in a rather unkempt state. It would appear that Father Time had not been the most generous of benefactors to the Royal House of England. Despite the lack of wealth, one thing remained certain. King Lawrence of the House of Lancaster was a mighty foe, one who had made his French counterparts bleed dearly over the past decade since he had assumed the mantle of King of England.
