You wrote: "I’m sorry. The oath of fealty I swore was phrased in a very specific way. I serve my Duke and Knight willingly and freely saving any obligations to my family and myself. (This does mean that under obligations to myself, if I can’t financially afford it, I won’t be there). After him I will serve his Ladies. And my responsibilities put on hold during Pennsic unless we specifically talk ahead of time. Any other service, to house, household and ancillary persons is to be ASKED for by my Knight and Duke.
Nowhere does it say that just because my squire brother fights and wins, will I automatically drop everything I am doing and serve their reign. I do not have to serve someone I don’t know because they are sworn to someone who is sworn to someone who is attached to the household by a pinkie swear."
And what happens, Ekat, when your Duke and Knight is the one who offers you in service to the person who is 'sworn to someone who is sworn to someone who is attached to the household by a pinkie swear'?
What is a refusal to serve, if service itself is love?
We need to talk - ASAP. Preferably in person. Will you be at 10 Year?
