"Who lives there?" I asked, pointing at a huge manor that we passed by. It stood out from the simple houses around it. Like it belonged to someone of noble stature.
"That's the lord's manor," Louis answered. He had been acting like our tour guide since we left the inn a while ago.
"So I presume he'd been sent out to help in the war?" I asked. It was a noble's duty to lend their assistance to the throne in a state of emergency.
Louis shook his head. "No, he's just there. But they say he's ancient and never got involved in politics. He never answered the summons of his sovereign, until such time came that they gave up involving this village in the kingdom's affairs."
"How do you know all this?" I wondered. When they went out investigating earlier, I didn't expect Louis to get that much information.
