TW: Paedophilia This is the song Jaskier writes about the Asshole Baron in chapter 18/19 of In The Company of a Glacier as part of a propaganda campaign to depose a corrupt asshole. I haven’t finished all the verses, but the conceit is that he started with normal age brides and gets younger with each consecutive one (since the story has the baron married to a woman who seems very young to both Jaskier and Geralt, too young to be married to this man). This verse is bride number five. While cheerful and catchy the song is meant to condemn an asshole who’s taking brides too young and turn the peasants against him for stealing their daughters and letting them die, not to glorify paedophilia. Jaskier is using earworm powers to remind the peasantry that this man is a monster. Full cowriting credits go to my amazing beta reader, Gremble!
