We parked the carriage and got ourselves a good room, then took our baths. When we sat down for dinner, I brought up the soldier we’d seen earlier.

“What was that all about?” I asked.

“What do you mean? Obviously it was propaganda spread by the duke of Kasdeks, right?” replied Aisa, drawing in the air with her spoon as she talked. “You know as well as I do that the last duke was well known for his infamy. So I think the new duke is using papa’s tales of heroism to improve Kasdeks’s reputation. If that soldier actually was one of Diane’s army, then he’d be guilty of plundering the old king’s tomb. There’s no way he’d be a free man traveling the lands. Even if the king pardons them all, it won’t be for some time. So I think that soldier was more likely an actor hired by the duke. I’ll bet there are others in other towns too; traveling bards, dancers, and merchants, that kind of thing.”

“Wow,” I said. “But why bother bringing big bro into it all? Why not just promote his own domain?”

“Then it would be completely obvious, wouldn’t it? Nobody would care and nobody would listen. But everyone loves stories of heroic deeds. So you get better results if you add a little of your own propaganda to a tale of adventure. Papa is the man of the hour, after all. Kasdeks really was involved in it all, so adding some promotional flair to a story like that doesn’t feel out of place. It’s not a bad idea, I have to say. I mean, it’s a bit slipshod and there’s a bit of desperation to it, but I think it’s something they can do because of all the attention the merchants are giving Kasdeks now that it’s got that tax exemption.”

“I see. Well, I guess it’s a good thing for big bro’s neighbor to have a thriving economy.”

“And besides, they’re making papa sound totally cool while they’re at it, so I’m a fan.”

And with that, Aisa returned to her soup. I joined her, and not long after dinner we had an early night, hoping to sleep away the exhaustion of all that travel.
