High in the castle tower Duke Peter sits he has been up all night examining a list of his officers. He has marked those loyal to him - too few for comfort!He slumbers in his favourite chair until he is awoken by the sound of singing from the starsingers. They are late this year as all nocturnal activities were cancelled due to the current unrest within the Duchy. But here they are in broad daylight. They sing and chalk upon the castle gate 17+C+M+B+59 ,hopefully bringing good fortune to the Duchy for the coming year...
