[Western] The Truth about our Beloved Baron

[HE Chiang]

  My dear deluded Lady,
I am not entirely sure if you are really deluded or just treasonous. Your entire rant is not only a work of fiction but slanderous also. You say that the heads were of my men and not peasants, perhaps you should say that to the wives and children of those farmers he slew. The Baron's herald is still alive and well, trust me on this, we still deal with him in Bonwicke. 
  The blood of Raspoli and his "army", if one should want to call cut throats soldiers, shall feed the lands of those poor peasants. Just let us hope that you come to your senses and do not add yours with theirs.
  I am and remain,
 Yours in Service,
 HE Chiang, Centurion
 Captain of the Baronial Guard of Bonwicke

  Greetings Unto the West,
  I feel the need to tell all the truth about Baron Kianin.  He wants to make everyone believe that Ruspoli is the truly evil one.  He tells tales of receiving the heads of unarmed peasants as his taxes.  He though is the one who will attack without warning.
  Here is what really happened as I was told by one of his supporters.
  Ruspoli's army had won the challenge at a Regional Fighter Practice and Baron Kianin awarded him with a small worthless piece of land.  Well, Ruspoli being the honorable man he is, did not complain.  He went out to try to make this land worth something for the good of our Region.  He was met by one of Kianin's heralds along the way, who asked him if he would delay his departure by a few days, so that those who inhabited that land could get used to the idea of a new Lord.  Ruspoli truly wanted peace in this land so he delayed the trip for the sake of this peace.  After 2 days had passed Ruspoli and his men departed once again on their journey.  When they were steps away from this land, they were attacked by the Baron's army.  After Ruspoli had killed all of his attackers he found the herald's body, and in a pocket in his cloak was a signed order to build an army to kill of this Ruspoli once and for all.  So you see those weren't th! e heads of innocent peasants but the heads of the Baron's own army, sent out to kill the Dark Riders, under the guise of peace.  Notice that the Baron would not show the heads, because we would have recognized them as soldiers not as peasants.
  I have but one regret: that when I tried to kill you, Baron Kianin, I would not have shot you in the heart, because I should have known that you don't have one.
