Steel Empire
Lambert's Decision

Lambert is currently in the courtyard of Malbork Castle, where he is undergoing brutal training that the initiates of the Teutonic Order must comply with. Right now, he was competing with many of his initiating companions; the youths were wielding blunt steel swords against each other as they fearlessly tried to win against their initiating peers.

Joining the Teutonic Order was not an honor like centuries ago, in the eyes of the public outside of the German-speaking region, they were seen as warmongers, he said, spreading Catholic views to the neighboring Orthodox Kingdom with a spearhead . An act that greatly distorts the relationship between the two pillars of Christianity.

Currently, the Teutonic Order is at war with the Grand Duchy of Moscow and, furthermore, the Golden Horde, which is the feudal lord of Moscow. A war in which they fared quite well, but the need for new troops was constant, and thus, the need for new troops was constant, The Teutonic Order has begun to take on villains in an attempt to spark their endless Crusades in the North.

Because of this, Lambert was involved in a sparring session with other initiates; the young man was an orphan adopted by the Teutonic Order many years ago and had been training inside the castle for quite some time. Although he was talented, Lambert was far superior in sword arts and easily defeated the man as he dropped him to the floor with a deadly punch. After dropping the man to the ground, Lambert looked at him with disdain before shouting out orders.

"Wake up!"

however, as he did so, he felt a punch behind his head from the ruler of the Teutonic Order, who quickly punished him.

"get started! You do not give orders to your brothers! You also did not use such power against them just in a sparring session! As a punishment for your actions, you will clean up***** after your training is over!"

Now, Lambert knows better than to protest. Despite being a man of noble birth; nothing really mattered in the Teutonic Order. To every Knight within this castle, he was considered nothing more than a criminal and a small initiator who had yet to obtain the right to bear the order's black cross. Therefore, Lambert simply nodded before returning to practice.

Throughout the rest of the session, he vented his frustration to his sparring peers, resulting in other youths being deeply dissatisfied with Lambert and his unruly behavior. This past month since the boy had begun his seclusion, he had endured constant humiliation at the hands of the established knights and had been extremely humble in his duties. He hated every moment of his time spent here while blaming his brother and former fiancee for his current state. The only thing that kept him sane was the thought that one day he would take revenge against those who had wronged him.

After the sparring session, Lambert started cleaning the outhouse, it was a very dirty and demeaning task, but it was a deserved punishment for his behavior. Lately, he had spent a lot of time doing menial tasks like this. Although he was the most talented among the new initiates, his attitude made him unpopular and unlikely to make any new friends any time soon.

After finishing cleaning the latrine, he was approached by several Knights; the reigning one immediately gave him a call.

"You have been summoned to the Great Hall! I suggest you make yourself presentable before meeting the Grand Master..."

Without giving him time to answer, the Knights turned around and left; they had fulfilled their duties and no longer cared about what happened to the child. Whether he heeded their advice or not, it was entirely up to him, and they had no desire to help such disorderly initiates any further than necessary.

So Lambert took a bath and put on a clean set of initiating clothes before approaching the Great Hall of the mighty Castle. After entering the large hall, he saw the Grand Master standing by the fireplace, reading the letter he had in hand. This letter was from the Vatican and told him about many of Berengar's alleged bad deeds since the young man took over the role of Regent in his father's land.

"So you're the second son who tried to kill his older brother for inheritance? It is a pity that you have failed; your brother has turned into a thorn on the part of the Church; therefore, I have just received a request from the Pope to invade your family's land and annex it as part of the Teutonic State..."

Lambert stood in shock when he heard this news, he had no idea what events had happened to his brother after he was exiled, but the Inquisition should have arrived by now. However, the fact that the Holy See has requested the intervention of the Teutonic Order means something extraordinary has happened over the past month. Lambert could not help but ask for the details.

"What's going on?"

The older man put the letter in his hand on his desk and took out a chalice filled with wine as he began to drink it; only after he downed the entire glass, did he, he revealed the details of what had happened.

"Your brother has killed two members of the Inquisition. After that, he was excommunicated and declared heretical. An action that is supposed to make a person think twice before engaging in any further malicious behavior. However I have just received word that he has attacked and annexed unlawfully.One of his neighbors, declared his father, a Viscount under the newly established Visounty of Kufstein. If that's not bad enough, Baron Kitzbuhel has promised a large amount of raw material to the Vatican as a gift, your heretic of a brother has now confiscated that resource, he said, and he refused to budge on this matter."

If the Church is good at one thing, it is propaganda, and in an area so far from Berengar's influence, the only news of her actions comes from the Church. They did their best to paint him as an evil demon whose nature was in complete contradiction to the Church and their teachings. The Grand Master was completely unaware of the truth behind this event and, thus, chose to believe his master's lies.

After hearing the events that have taken place over the past month on his family's land, Lambert struggles to find a way to express himself, and in his brief silence, Grand Master closed the distance between the two and looked at him with a serious expression. .

"Right now, I have no one left to fulfill the Pope's request. However, it won't be a problem in a matter of months, so the question in my mind is just this. Are you going to keep throwing a tantrum like a child? Or will you take the robe of our Order and impose the justice of God upon your heretical brother and the unbelievers who support him?"

Lambert finds himself at a crossroads; if he continues his current path, it is likely that he will not be able to achieve his goal; however, if he continues on his current path, if he started to behave himself and make a real effort to join the order, then rising through the ranks would be an easy task for a person like himself, because Lambert decided to kneel before the Grand Master and promised to serve the Order.

"I apologize for my actions, Great Lord, and I will make every effort to make amends. If God wills it, then one day I hope to be part of the army that brings God's judgment on my evil brother! "

Therefore, on this day, Lambert actually began to dedicate his heart and soul to the Teutonic Order and hoped that someday they could allow him to take revenge.
