We refuse your offer ! It is not as if we let you choose ! Pay the ransom and we'll let you in peace ! Refuse and we will persecute yourself ! The minimal sold is 1500 marks... I'm sure you've got the money, haven't you ? That's blackmail !! No man, Knight or not , threatens someone ! Choose your next words carefully, peasant. They may be your last . We'll need more time to get the total sum of the money ! Can you give us one or two months to get our pay and gather the total sum of money please, my lord ? Well, I don't know... how to be sure you'll pay when I'll come reclaim the money ? you may flee from your village or something else... I swear by Jesus Christ that I'll give you the money ! I don't trust you... We'll take your son as a guarantee ! No ! Not my son ! I...I... If I give you all of our economies as a guarantee ? We'll take that... in addition to your son ! we'll be back in two months... And you had better to have the money or the head of your son will be exposed on a spike at the entrance of your burned village where your dead bodies will be eaten by the ravens ! We hope you have understood us... see you in two months... In the name of god... we had better to work very well and a lot...
