Proud as Artaban, we returned to Fort Brume in the center of Francie. On the spot the Baron and Earl as well as the dragon hunters received us with great pomp and circumstance. They had been warned for weeks of our exploits by Arma. Arma came back with us after having received the authorization to show herself. We were amazed, but not me, I could smell her all the time and played along. She was surprised but that's how it was. I told her I smelled her but I couldn't confirm it. I was too young to be certain.

We showed our treasures and I had taken pictures with my phone and showed them to everyone. Some painters copied our exploits as best they could, but we followed the Pope's instructions: Everything about dragons had to disappear!

No corpses, skins, teeth, bones, even the mention of them must have been confusing.

History was to make myths out of them.

With 6 dragons out of the game, their future was in jeopardy. Unless I started making dragons everywhere, but I'm too young to do disgusting things.

Even Arma, who was changing clothes, didn't ask me to turn my head and I didn't care. If I wasn't thinking about mom or cuddly toy, I dreamed of honey, cakes, candied fruit, chewing gum and other sweet pastries.

I was the best friend of the castle's cook and I was always ready for a service to be rendered to him. Picking, transporting, starting the oven, bringing wood, and I was sure to get a biscuit gougouille as a reward.

It bothered the other knights but I was part Beast too and they had to admit it.

I answered their remarks that my senses were a thousand times more developed and that the envy was terrible and the temptation untenable.

Arma had to intervene several times when they "corrupted" me with culinary delicacies.

"But stop making fun of him like that! And you, DOUDOU! would do anything for a pie, some common sense! Luckily I manage your budget, he'd go off with sweets in your belly!"

The other knights were bent over backwards to laugh with me. I didn't miss one of them, but I had a good heart while the other noble knights aspired to more power, more conquests while me, it was a hunting ground and a place as a home where I was left alone.

Raoul and Theo asked me to settle on their land so that we could be together, but they knew that only the king decided which nobleman had which land! Except inheritance.

I was invited by King Childebert IV, son of King Thierry II, younger of Clovis IV and father of the famous future King Dagobert at Soissons in the north.

The new ones were also summoned and so was Arma.

The trip lasted 2 weeks but for me 1 day but out of respect for my friends, I hunted and brought back juicy preys but we had found something much better! As the forest was green, there was FULL of game, TOO MANY game ravaging the crops and I was cleaning and as a reward, they went from hostel to hostel and although I slept under the stars or at best, in the stables when they were empty and if they were still big... I had with me my country tent, which looked more like a siege tent.
