He might be holding 81700cec6d a pen more often 4b782b7c9f than a sword these 3c8aac409b days, but the duke 091baaeb3b is still a bold, 3a21c344c9 rebellious warrior at heart.b3c7e4b39b817fe3

He prefers f2938bd7b9 unexpected punches f8331dbdd8 over dull, b305484da0 conventional arguments, 407aaa0cfa and when cd50c10268 it comes 77b1a6d0a3 to revenge 0a0c39968b and retribution, 3019761b68 no one fa0fb34ea7 is more 37a22d6b8a serious than 99889e90f2 him.595f40caa6120476
