As the Spice Festival is drawing to a close, we wanted to know the truth to the rumors of "Is Brassicus II dating Alys?". The two were seen dancing together in the Festival. We interviewed Grand Preacher Brassicus II to find out the truth.
Good morning Your Holiness, how was the Spice Festival?
Oh for Brassicus Prime's sake didn't I tell you not to call me "Your Holiness", I have already told you, the only holy thing in this room is Brassicus Prime watching over us! Back on the topic the festival was... something unique. I was late to there, never got to taste the spice, but I did get to meet someone and I did get assaulted by a badger.
So who's the person you met?
Alys.
Alys... who?
Grand Duchess Alys Arselnaut of Marseilles.
Some have been saying that there was more than a meeting between you and Grand Duchess Alys Arselnaut of Marseilles.
Oh bloody hell, where do you people get your sources from? You would be wrong on the topic of there being more than what you see happening. We danced around, I escorted her to her car, and I got assaulted by a badger.
But any feelings?
Ahem, do you think it would be really appropriate to publish this stuff on a newspaper? You know, privacy and the like.
Is a future marriage with Grand Duchess Alys Arselnaut is possible?
Bloody hell you and your questions... Yes, yes it is.
As G.D. Alys A. is the former ruler of Marseilles, will you be helping her reclaim her throne?
That's a... hard question. If she tries to do it militarily, then no. If she tries to do it diplomatically, yes. I have read about what happened in Marseilles and I don't want to make the Marseillen people suffer in another war, even if they aren't my people. And a ruler who kills her own people is a ruler who has no right to rule.
Previously you mentioned a badger attack?
Ah yes, the honeybadger. I assume that it was left by the Morelanders who crashed into the room during the festivities. I found the honeybadger in my car and it caught me by surprise. I got help from a fellow in the hall who shot the badger. Though the badger had kind of made the room stink with it's foul smells and everyone had to be evacuated upstairs.
That's all Your Hol-- Brassicus II.
Alright, Brassicus Prime bless you, can you let me drink my tea in peace now?
