You are as cunning as a fox messire and clearly educated, probably in a Monastery. Ordinating and forming new priests would be very useful indeed. But how to do it without a bishop ?

You decided not to surrender, after all Rose's prosperity depended on you. And so you pleaded.
-Your majesty, I can understand that you do not want to make one of your loyal servants lose lands. But lord Takable, lady Rose's father, would never have betrayed the realm, and she is only a girl of seventeen herself. Is it fair to deprive her of her Father's ancestral home ? I do not talk about all the lands, but some of them.
The queen answered, perhaps harshly.
-Is it permitted in your realm of... France... To criticize so brazenly the decisions of your monarch, lord Charles ?
-Your majesty, I do not wish to criticize your judgment, even if it pains me greatly, or oppose it, for such is not my role. I simply plead for my bride for the most noble or reasons : for love. For hundreds of years lady Rose's family held her lands in the name of the realm, and I cannot see her as a traitor.
This argument about love seemed to soften her. The guelph queen answered.
-Your intentions are pure, at least. I shall see what I can do.
She told you these good news while you bowed humbly, thanking her for her kindness and generosity and praising her decisions. In truth it was honest, at least if she had her castle your sweet lady Rose will be happy. She resented the fact of not living in the home where she grew up. The queen then added.
-But I want you to entertain me in exchange. Tell me a tale about your home, this France that you were talking about.
You tried to scramble for an answer and to think of something befitting a queen.
>Talk about the wonders of Paris, the greatness of it, try to flatter her of course by telling that her capital is cleaner even if smaller.
>Tell that France is a land of art and culture, from the Song of Roland to the works of Chrétien de Troyes. Make her love french poetry. Women always love poetry especially if they are queens. Aliénor d'Aquitaine is a proof of it.
>Tell her about the flower of the French chivalry and how it crushed the English, the Flemish and the Barrois. Tell about your own deeds too. Bifuria has not known war for a long time but if it does the queen should be happy to have a competent commander at the ready.
>Tell the Queen about the vast land and it's people, the power of the greatest realm in Christendom, impress her with it so she will understand that France is a powerful land and perhaps allying with it would be wise.
