Ren du Lot said the name. "Torundel".
This was the shitty person that his client, Count Branleur, wanted to sue.
He could not understand why the Count had chosen him, Ren du Lot, as his personal lawyer. Was it because his name sounds French nobility? The truth was that his great grandfather had changed his name from "Dullot" to "du Lot", so he really did not belong to a noble family.
And in any case, there was nothing really noble in being noble. He knew one guy who had refused to meet his father for 20 years. Neither his father nor his paternal grandfather was calling themselves Counts. But, because his great grandfather was allegedly a Count, the guy has decided that he should also call himself a Count.
Count B wanted to sue Torundel because he was going to shitpost.
He knew that it was not the real reason, or at least the only reason. The whole town knew that Torundel's wife was Count B's mistress.
"Count, this is not really my specialty, I am only a country lawyer, mostly in real estate and wills. I can refer you to one of my colleagues in the city."
"What is the name of this lawyer?"
Ren du Lot said the name.

As I am not a native English speaker please inform me if something is misspelled, wrong or just horrendous English, and I will see if I can fix it.
grammarly said that the tone is "informative". Really?
Hahaha! That is the spirit!
Oh no! Now Torundel is bringing his tribe here!
This could multiply! I am just not good at writing fiction or I might join in.
You don't need to be good at writing fiction for shitposting!
You do to reach the quality of you guys. I can't bring myself to post real shit :)
Lol, I think grammarly had the right of it :O)
I love fan fiction - I love Torundel - and the anagram (?), Ren du Lot.
I also love your invitation to readers to flag any grammatical errors or typos. I spotted none, though if I looked again with an eye for possible edits, I might find some trivial nits. I wish other writers, native English as well as non, were as eager to master the language!
Well done.
Ok, perhaps here. You are correct in using the singular:
Neither his father nor his paternal grandfather was calling themselves Counts. I'm pretty sure "himself" would be more correct here. Easiest fix would be to remove the "was" -- oh dear. I've been out of college for more than three decades. And the rules have changed anyway. Webster's accepted "impact" as a verb in the early 1980s, and language evolves, and trivial nits just don't seem to concern 99.9% of readers anyway, so why bother? I declare your English to be exemplary, and that's my final verdict. :)
Thank you for your comments. However, I think I will leave themselves.
You are the first one to send any comment about my English and I really appreciate that.
