An entourage of knights and retainers arrived outside the mansion as Count Magnus I of Bohemia stepped out of a carriage. He looked at the grand mansion and stroked his chin slightly. Frederick, his brother, approached him. Magnus stroked his goatee slightly as he gazed at the building.

This is the place right, brother?

It is, Frederick. I will take four guards with me, stay here with the rest of the entourage.

His brother bows and steps aside as Magnus approaches the mansion. His father, Frederick II z Lotrinske, had spoken of the Alder family and their lineage of famous warriors. This was sort of man that the Count wanted in his courts. Magnus approached the gates and announced his presence.

I am Count Magnus I of Bohemia, son of Frederick II z Lotrinske. I have come forth to speak with the head of the house on an important matter involving my courts here in Prague. I wish to speak with him as soon as possible.

The gatekeeper opens the gate and Magnus is welcomed into the mansion foyer, Milosh comes down to greet him

Welcome, Count. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?

**Lucius Malfoy** · August 05, 2012, 01:44 AM

Magnus walks in and has his four knights wait outside of the mansion for now. He approaches Milosh and bows to him.

Greetings, Milosh Adler. It is a pleasure to meet you. My father spoke highly of your house...which is why I came.

Magnus gestures to one of the windows, indicating the view of Prague.

Word among the nobles and peasants say that your family is known for being mighty warriors of Bohemia. Sons of the sword and brothers in arms. Do the people speak rightfully of your abilities and that of your house, Milosh?

**irontaino** · August 05, 2012, 02:04 AM

Milosh nods with confidence

What they say is true, the warriors in my house have a long history. They fought the saracens in the Holy Land and against the heathens in the Baltic

Milosh walks with Magnus out to the courtyard where he shows Magnus his marksmanship with a crossbow, and a mock fight with one of his guards, quickly defeating him.

**Lucius Malfoy** · August 05, 2012, 02:11 AM

Magnus strokes his goatee. He had prowess and skill, something the Count needed for the future. He clapped his hands after the performance against one of his knights.

Then the words of the masses serve to be true. Milosh Adler, I wish to take you away from this quiet life and make you a commander among the forces of the County of Bohemia.

He approaches Milosh and walks with him now. He continues to stroke his goatee, gazing at the buildings near the mansion of the Alder and then...towards Prague castle, his home.

I campaigned throughout Bohemia during the strife that was ended by the abilities and loyal armies of our Kaiser, Alexander I. I mustered an army from loyalists in Praha and marched alongside my brother Frederick...in the name of the Empire, not in the name of rebellion. I defeated my own uncle in combat, a traitor to my cause, and campaigned through Western Bohemia for a total of four years. Taking castle by castle, town by town, and defeating army after army. By the time the Imperial Armies arrived to pacify Bohemia, much of its western provinces were secured and loyal to the Crown.

The Bohemian Count then looks at Milosh. His blue eyes fixed upon his fellow Bohemian.

Bohemia not only needs men of character and oration...those people of the courts and papers...but men of prowess and martial ability. Those who can hold swords, command armies and thrust soldiers forward to victory. Men like you and I, Milosh. Will you accept my offer and join the Bohemian army as one of my commanders? For the future of our homeland of Bohemia?

**irontaino** · August 05, 2012, 02:29 AM

Milosh looks at the city beyond his mansion, then to Magnus. This seemed a great opportunity to lead soldiers and fight once more.

It would be an honor and a pleasure to lead our countrymen in glorious battle. I will join your cause.

**Lucius Malfoy** · August 05, 2012, 08:09 PM

Magnus smiles...Bohemia had another great commander to lead her armies to victory. The Count bowed his head in thanks.

You and my brother, Frederick, will be cooperative commanders of the County's army, which currently stands at 3,500 men total. 1,000 each from Boleslav and Olomouc's levies. With 500 from Praha and my personal force of 1,000. When the time comes for war, you will get command of either Boleslav's or Olomouc's forces. While my brother commands the other wing of troops.

**irontaino** · August 05, 2012, 11:11 PM

Milosh bows his head in respect.

Send word when I am needed and I will answer the call with the utmost haste.

**Lucius Malfoy** · August 06, 2012, 12:39 AM

Be prepared, my good Bohemian. War is coming to Bohemia...and soon. We will be the movement that will determine the future of Bohemia. When the banner rises, come forth and issue your commands...and bring victory!

The Count bows his head and walks off now, heading back to his entourage. Magnus would have to ponder upon the plans of the future Bohemia to come...and the campaigns that would unite it.
