In Duke Hogan's main house, a man named Hobert was eating breakfast while talking with another guard.
"I thought we would be forced to fight in a war when the army in Stordhill was defeated."
"Are you not willing? How could you remain a guard for Duke Hogan if you are acting like a coward?" Said Hobert.
The guard chuckled. "Will I be accepted as a guard if I think like that?"
"You were not a coward, but you are now," thought Hobert. "Don't worry, I think he will only take his personal guards if he were to go to a war. We will remain here unless the army is pushed to a corner and every man in Hall fiefdom needs to pick up weapons."
The guard laughed. "That will not likely happen. I heard we had a huge victory."
