Howard left the lord's hall, then convened a meeting in a relaxed atmosphere, inviting his vassals to discuss how best to judge Resarite.
Anna sarcastically remarked about Resarite, "He aspired to be a duke, seeing himself above us mere earls and baronial knights. We hardly seem qualified to judge such a grand figure as Lord Resarite."
Margaret suggested, "We should adjudicate according to noble tradition."
Bosiden proposed, "Leave him with a single earldom. I'll think about the rest."
Vettel offered, "Let him keep a barony, and take away the other titles."
Alonso added, "Take one of his baronies and let the rest be."
Kaido, glaring viciously at the three, then sycophantically addressed Howard, "Take all his lands and give them to me. I definitely won't rebel and will fight well for you."
