That’s changed, though while the change is generally accepted it still hasn’t fully caught on. The apostrophe is only used for contractions and possessives that end in “s”. I gather the nuns won.
Going to side with Renadt on this one. Anything that looks like a grammatical mistake pulls the reader out of the story. A Google Search for both shows “Duke’s Daughter” as being 20 times as common. Recommend changing this.
Well, Bel, that’s probably the most PC way of saying said Duke’s daughter is a lyin’ ho-bag, but you have certain standars to maintain, so it’s perfectly acceptable.
Honestly that witch of a woman needs to stop thinking the universe revolves around her every need and whim. Its sad and stupid. I have seen doormice act smarter than that!
The witch hunter seems to be, ah, sweating bullets? Seems he really, really doesn’t want to attempt to take Belvidier on. Well done on the art, Ms. Shepard, the sweat on him is nicely subtle.
What gets me is that the witch hunter is armed with a sword and Belvidier has no visible weapon, yet hes still hesitant to attack him. Very telling don’t you think.
We’ve seen Belvidier do some remarkable things with cutlery, so my thought is that even though he may not look like he’s armed… he may just be a walking arsenal… like Batman and Alfred all rolled into one.
This scene reminds me of two samurai facing off. Though in this case, you can see just who is more nervous and worried about any REAL combat that could happen. Which says even more when you consider who already has their weapon out and ready, and who doesn’t appear to have any weapons at all!!
Ahh, It really seems Belvedier is more than he appears. That guy is totally stalling for time, hoping he convince a conflict to not happen. I almost waant him to fail now so we can see a butt-whooping.
BTW, isn’t the phrase, “You’ll have to take anything she says with a grain of salt.”? Oh, wait a minute. This is a different universe from ours. Their sayings could be significantly different. LOL.
There is no figure of speech here, as such metaphorical language does not behove someone like Belvedier. His high-standard and somewhat overblown language is one of the best things about the character 🙂
And the truth comes out quickly. And let us hope that Belvidier can resolve this without bloodshed.
Also, sorry to be that person, but there should be an apostrophe after Duke.

Maybe you should take a look at your own name first, hmm?
lol
Nameless sap seems intelligent enough, but whether that translates into listening to reason and not being a stupid-head remains to be seen
you are not talking about me, are you? 😛
No, you have a name, just couldn’t remember if the other guy had been formally introduced or not (not very good at remember things)
Vaughan? (page 689)
Thank you

Standards, damn it! Stupid ‘D’ key has kitteh hair under it… 😛

I think his deodorant just ran out. But facing Belvidier’s disapproval can have that effect.
That’s true. Even Hero seems to hate the thought of facing Belvidier’s disapproval.
Not to mention ironic. A puma nervous around a rabbit. THAT’S irony in action.

I _like_ that description. Very fitting.
Honestly, as much as i am interested in how this is resolved, I’d realy want to know how they met or what their history is.
Belvidere thought balloon….to go with the Spockian raised eyebrow…..”What a Maroooon!”
My guess would Bel is armed with a few pieces of kitchen cutlery, hidden here and there. That would be the reason the witch hunter has not attacked.
A butler with sharp knives is not someone to mess with.

is just me or does our favorite butler look almost bored in the last panel?
“Bring Miss Evon into the manor and we’ll discuss things civilly over a cup of tea. And take care, please; she’s a guest here.”
Well, of course. If you have to boot head, it’s best done in a polite and civilized manner!
And Bel is always polite and civilized. He weaponizes those traits!
Be polite; write diplomatically; even in a declaration of war one observes the rules of politeness. Otto Von Bismarck
“Well, in that case I may not have to show you the errors of your way will violence.”
I love polite badasses.
Aaaaah, that’s our Belvedere senpai, trying to solve the problem with words first.
There is a transparent red line through the man’s ears on panel 5. Dunno if that is intentional or due to the coloring of panel 4.

once Belvedier tells Hero, Hero’s isnt going to be too happy.
