After suppressing the deserter band that had crossed over from Euz, a new concern arose. The war tax that the Lord of Murbach had been collecting, as the beekeeping family had told me, was a clear sign of storm clouds gathering over Euz.
Since the Euznirk family had been favorable enough to compensate me for my losses, I had a duty to repay their goodwill. The fact that my fief bordered Euz played a major role too.
I couldn't let the territory I'd worked so hard to obtain be reduced to ashes by stray sparks. So I sent letters to Fried and Count Euz asking for news. Honestly, there wasn't much I could do at the moment.
Since invasion by an enemy nation was a shared concern of Beren, sending support was only natural. But if civil war erupted over an internal fief matter, there would be no grounds for outside intervention—unless there was some form of connection.
