You shake your head - it would be unseemly to be taken by greed, and unworthy of a faithful of the splendour such as yourself. What's more, if the Viscount is angered by the loss of a troop, you doubt that a few hundred coins will sway the mind of one such as him - you know Portblanc to be a city that brings great wealth with it, and his ability to field and pay an entire regiment from his pockets is proof enough.
No, you'll send the money to the man's family, and hope his lordship is reasonable enough.

Your head held high, you enter through the city gates as a conqueror, your own guards alongside the still bloodstained road as you ride into Largo. In the past two days, you had held your position, waiting for the answer from your advance party. That you had yet to hear of any incoming army filled you with some apprehension - had the hostile forces happened upon Hugues' force? You did not wish to think of what had happened if they did.
It was in the third day that you finally received word; Largo had fallen! You led the rest of the regiment north, and though your heavier wagons and culverin had almost sunk in the muddy roads, you were able to get there in just two days of marching. When you finally arrived at the coast where the town stood, you were quick to recognize the signs of battle: a giant tear in the wooden palisade, roughly patched over with some wooden planks.
Easily recognizing your banners as their own, your vanguard wasted no time in welcoming you into the city, where you were led to the mayoral office that Hugues had taken as a headquarters, much like in Panergo. As you went, you could not help but notice the mounds of earth which showed you the mass graves where the casualties of the battle were kept - and besides them, the more dignified solitary ones, where your own dead would be. The number is a bit bigger than you had hoped.
Entering the home of the Podestá, you meet Hugues, who was hunched over a pile of papers as you entered. In your sight, he bows as is customary.
"Greetings, meu seynor. As you can see, Largo was taken succesfully."
"How many losses?" you ask, cutting to the point.
"61, sire. More specifically, eight Knights, fourty-nine skirmishers of the First and two of the Second. Néstor, the captain of the First, has also been killed in combat. The town proved to be...more well-defended than expected."
The loss of almost an entire troop is does not please you, but you know better than to question a man whose wisdom you have depended upon such as heavily as you have Hugues'. Still, you must decide what to do with the first now that they are almost all wiped out.
