If anyone has commissioned me through FA, with the site being down I can’t refer to references or links to commissions. Hopefully the site outage will not last long and as soon it is up I will continue working on commissions! Sorry for the delay, but it’s out of my hands at the moment ^^
Wonder if Hero actually knows this or whether Belvie will tell him. Sure he could blackmail her… wonderful thing for those that actually need it.
OMG FIRST COMMENT! ^_^
I somehow doubt Hero would care. It’s not like he trusts or feels anything for Cleo. Besides, this sort of thing tends to happen with nobles. Mistresses, concubines, boytoys, etc.
Now, if she tries to hurt Hero or Evon, or in any way take Hero’s family lands or title, that I could see making him quite angry.
The question here is, if she’s not already married to Hero, by what right does she claim any kind of power over the household? If she becomes a disruptive nit, could Belvie throw her out in defense of his lord’s digs?
That, I would like to see.
One might recommend the dungeon or some such for her…behavior, but the slut would probably get off on it. Personally I’d like to see Evon teleport her back to her brother whilst in the act with one of her so called toys and a note saying that Hero must respectfully decline the offer of marriage. Embarrassment would be a much more fitting punishment for said status seeking skank.
But then, I am a bit of a vindictive bastard.
I second this notion, this would be an enjoyable turn of events to witness however I’m wondering what the plot dictates in terms of Karma.
Ah, but Hero SHOULD care! He obviously dislikes her, and does not want the marriage between him and her, but has to go through with it for… I know it was arranged and politics were involved, but I can’t remember this early in the morning.
ANYWAY, it may be true that mistresses and boytoys were indeed common… and I don’t know what traditions and cultural expectations are in this fine world Ms. Shephard has created (if they are in fact different from our own), but (and do forgive me if I sound like a sexist asshole), because Cleo is a woman cheeting on Hero in a medieval-ish era, BEFORE the wedding, Hero could use it as an excuse to call off the wedding WITHOUT dishonoring his family name. And in many cases it would probably be prudent for Cleo’s family to somehow make ammends for this tretchery, perhapos in the form of a gift, or a refund of a dowry if one was paid.
The (potentially) sexist bit is that, while Hero could be (falsely) accused of the same thing if there is indeed equal standing between genders in Ms. Shepard’s world (I have not seen much evidence to suggest this, that or my memory is dismally poor this morning. Also, the evidence would be bad for Hero- dragging around a woman, and Evon has already lost her virginity, so who is to say it was not Hero who did it?), if I am right and that this imaginary world tends to folow the same cultural patterns as our real world, then Hero would still be scotch-free because mistresses and whoring among the noble men was common. It was the women who could get into serious trouble for it unless their husband was accepting of it.
So… if Belvie can somehow get physical evidence and/or plenty of witnesses, Hero has the perfect excuse to call off the wedding, if he so wishes to.
Sorry…got lost. Saw the words scotch and free…
Interesting cultural comparison points, though. However, if there was a dowry paid, normally it is the female’s family that shelled out, and if the daughter was considered ‘damaged goods’, the dowry was forfiet. Unless you’re in India, where the daughter was either put to death, or sold off as bedroom meat.
Either way…
I like this coverstaiona dn Shep should be very proud of her self for inducing such a converstaoin I also like how Blevi is on the level and know him he has it all worked out and Hero only need ask and like any good butler worth his salt Belvi will have the proof Hero needs
Oh, there is far more to Belvidier than meets the eye, of that you can be certain. While he’s an awesome character, with my normally questionable activities, I don’t think I would feel comfortable having a manservant that’s more effective than the CIA, NSA, DHS and Mossad put together.
Better than your enemy having one and you don’t, Estoc.
Her power comes from the fact that she is the only child of Herodotus’ Lord.
and her ability to effectively use both pair of lips to the satisfaction of many a men
She is still is freaking hot…but…I would agree to everyone on this that she would get in trouble. But still she is pretty hot.^^
Man FA is still having problems. I hope the site isn’t too damaged they have been getting trouble fixing it.
Well, if you recall, Hero did say it was common for lords and ladies to have… ‘liaisons’ with each other. ‘Cheating’ is only cheating if all parties are aware and disagree. I highly doubt Hero cares if she’s ‘dallying’ with other people, he doesn’t want to be with her anyway.
At any rate, just caught up with the current comic and I am loving this! Well done!
S’what I’m sayin’!
I really don’t think this’ll matter much unless their afterglow pillow-talk involves, “How do we stab him in the back and take his stuff?”
Thank you very much. 🙂
Come on, *someone* has to make THE comment about pannel number three! }-)
What? She should know that it’s rude to talk with her mouth full.
I was thinking something along the lines of, “I allways knew she was a cock sucking bitch.” 😀
Well, that kind of goes without saying…
I find her loyalty to Hero kind of ‘hard to swallow’…
well as a Noble Lady, she must have had some sort of training in ‘Lip Service’
shes gonna need some listerine
madame you have such a profane “diry mouth”
no wonder she talks a lot gatta keep da jawbone muscles active

I think this is where I realized there’s a LOT more to Belvidier than meets the eye.
