Richard wasted no time and immediately went out to make the arrangements. He delegated one of the mansion's butlers to prepare the carriage and quickly went to one of the mansion's towers.
In this tower there were a large number of falcons and doves that were used to send messages, most of the great nobles had such a facility.
Richard quickly arrived in front of a hawk that looked much smaller than normal and apart from its size it was no different from the others. He took a blue ribbon and tied it around the hawk's neck and placed a small piece of paper in the tube that the hawk had tied to its leg.
The falcon flew out of the tower at high speed in the direction of the palace. The blue hawk did not mean that the animal was blue, but that a ribbon of that color was tied to it and represented a message of high importance known as a national level message.
