I live in a small stone castle overlooking the valley.  I have peasants that work and farm the lands I control.  The King often visits my castle to collect taxes that I owe him.  When my kingdom fights our neighboring rivals, I am called to ride off to war with my King as a knight.
Thank you kindly. Would you mind telling me your name again? Barthburp. The garden is looking great, Barthburp. Having you is essential to our success when we ride into war. Without nutrition for my men fighting, we wouldn't last to our great success.  My lord, I'm happy you appreciate my wares. Do you know of a beautiful girl named Alice? Why yes of course. Alice is a wonderful maid. Why do you ask? I've...I just think she's the best. Does she like tomatoes? Yes. Would you like a break to go see her barthburp? Thank you my lord. Please come with me though, I'm nervous! Yes. Talking to Alice can be frightening. Is this something you've wanted to do for a while now, or just coming around to? Well I just hit puberty a year ago, so it's been...364 days. You are doing quite fine. One day, I see you and alice living here, and helping our family run the lands.  Thank you my lord. I also hope to get a job with the king. Not that I don't like working for you...
