Ahem, as a ducal clerk, I must look after the duchy's best interests. Belgaard currently belongs to the treasury.

Ahh. At times I hunt foxes. Do you know how it works? The Ducal Huntsman releases the hounds. They catch the fox's scent, chase the animal down, and lead the battue to it - all within an hour.
