Learning at the fair

How to become a royal court lady or courtier? Grace and good manners, or even noble birth are not enough. Who wishes to enjoy an official courtly patent, must prove oneself with at least ten abilities, useful in the royal court, not only in the castle, but also in travel, in the heat and the sun, in times of peace and war.

An esquire carver is a very important function: if you want to become an important royal officer, responsible for setting His Excellency’s table, you must supply yourself with a royal pantry and take care of the table and equipment in the kitchen. You will receive a few important tasks to solve: think well and act carefully, this game is worth the candle! The esquire carver’s patent is waiting and is within hand’s reach...

Neither force nor weapons, but a clever mind and perceptiveness – these are important features of a good investigator. Skilfully study the tracks, interview witnesses, associate various, seemingly unconnected events – all this is necessary to find the culprit, punish the misdemeanour and ensure the safety of the royal subordinates. A riddle to solve awaits, a mysterious wrong-doer, an encrypted message... Have eyes at the back of your head, prick up your ears – and take advantage of your chance!
