Throughout my life in the world of Medieval Knight, I've been wary of two types of people: those with a scheming disposition, and those whose outward appearance doesn't match what's inside. These two types inevitably cause problems.
In this cutthroat world of nobles where plots run rampant and one wrong step could cost you your head, being wary of such people was only natural. Despite the mockery from those around him, the Count of Baschurten remained calm beneath the surface, contrary to his outward demeanor.
If he had bowed his head as if seething under the weight of contemptuous stares, wouldn't the natural emotional response have been anger?
Maintaining composure in a situation where anger would be the obvious reaction was unnatural. The Count of Baschurten's words and actions didn't match what was going on inside him.
That's when I began to harbor reasonable suspicion.
There had been a similar case during the Euz-Épinay war.
