The smiling rat wrote a reply to Zinedine
"Chief Zinedine,
I will be most happy to have these conditions with our alliance, shall we seal it with a meeting?
King Jonathon Moir, first of his name, the smiling rat."
He had sent a few of his troops to Lorenzo with a letter
"my dear Lorenzo
Bandits bettering you? I hope my modest troops will help, they use lances and bows,
I look forward to hearing news from you, and if you need any other aid I will supply it happily
King jonathon moir, first of his name, the smiling rat"

[Sav]

"Moir,

I write this note in hopes we can form an alliance. I'm sure we could both use it.

Sincerly,
King John Garrow."

''Jinrick!'' Shouted King Fjell. He was stuck in a sore situation. Lorenzo and Aidan were both his allies, and he was on the verge of stamping a deal with Lorenzo, but if King Aidan was adamant in protecting the villagers, then he could not afford to waste men and money on going to war with him.
''Yes, my King?'' Said Jinrick.
''Jirnrick, I need your advice. You know my situation, and I could really use some help.''
''My King, I am simply your Steward. You have a dozen Advisers to help you in these situations.''
''Those people look for profit to be made, and are all the very richest and laziest people in my Kingdom. You are a good man, you aren't corrupt, but you're no fool either.''
''I would be happy to help.''
''Then what should I do.''
''My King, with all due respect, I believe you are forgetting an important factor. You are acting as if King Aidan and Lord Lorenzo are squabbling over mere land. They're not. You have forgotten the people in this land, the ones this is all about. You would gain more profit if you sided with Lorenzo, but perhaps you can do it without angering Aidan. Send a message to the the villagers chief, and see if you can make a deal.'' There was silence in the Mead Hall for several moments, but then jell looked Jinrick right in the eyes.
''You're right. These aren't objects, these are people. Send them a letter at once assuring them that if they let Lorenzo kill the bandits, they can keep their way of life, but will simply have new customers to trade with. Oh, and inform this new chief in Tahert that I am willing to have peace. Thank you, my friend.''

"King Fjell,

This is our forest, not yours. The answer is no.

Chief Slorga."

[Masked Pillow]

''Chief Slorga, you believe Lorenzo is threatening your way of life, your family and friends? You have seen pain and suffering, we all have, but would you ever wish that upon someone else?
These bandits are not only threatening Lorenzo's family and friends, subjects and citizens way of life, they're threatening their lives as a whole. They would destroy and enslave his nation. Are you really so afraid of change, that you would condemn a people to that suffering?''

[POMC S117]

"Fjell,

The bandits have no need for land or slaves, unlike Lorenzo."

[Masked Pillow]

''Then why do they call themselves bandits?
Do not hide behind your false pretences about right and wrong.
You risk endangering your people for what? Pride? Arrogance?
Lorenzo is a good man. It is not an insult to be compared to him.
Your bandits attack his home and kill his people, yet you mask him the villain?
You sicken me.
Fjell of Estonia.''

The smiling rat wrote a swift reply to King John Garrow
"I would like to see your proposed terms, may you come to my castle..?"

[POMC S117]

"Fatty of Estonia,

You are an idiot. Two of our villages and many farms lie burnt because of Lorenzo."

[Sav]

"Yes, i shall come immediately."


John soon set out for Moirs' castle, arriving after a few days travel.

[Skyr]

King Aidan
this bandits are no differrent to the mongolians
the ones that you've fighted with.
I ask you why you will protect them.
In a war the ones that fight along your enemy are enemy too, or not?

Its a bit cold here for my taste.. a man mumbled to himself walking towards the throne.

''King Aidan.. Its a honour to meet you..'' said the ambassador sent by the chief of Tahert as he came close to the king.

''Before I start our business..''
''What would you like to see done with my homeland that will benefit you?...''

--------------------------------------------------


Esteemed Smiling Rat,

You will hear soon from us.
I do not want to offend your great nation by idly contacting you for no reason.

I'm planning great things for your and my beloved lands.
Do have patience as I will soon send a ambassador to discuss the possibilities.


High Chief Zinedine Ibn N'Soumer
Chosen ruler of the tribes of Tahert

"Lorenzo,

I have not 'fighted' with the Mongolians, nor have I sided with the bandits. Your brutality and disrespect for life and culture forced my hand.

King Aidan."

--/-\--

"Ah... The ambassador." Said Aidan. "I wish to see only prosperity between our nations."

[POMC S117]

The Caliph's army retreated to the bridge. They randomly hailed down arrows. Only a few hit Azeem's troops.

[The-Shadow-One]

the castle accepted John Garrow into himself, in preparation a feast of meat, fruits and vegatbles were served. Lily was the ont to admit John into the castle "welcome.." she said courtseying "my father is waiting for you at his throne, I hope that you are prepared to haggle" she led John to the throne and Jonathon Moir sat there on his throne of old oak. "welcome John Garrow, to my domain, do you hunger or thrist?" he asked his eyes laughing.

Spoiler:

Where's Sam?

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

I'm guessing Sam would be with his wife, he'll be at the feast. don't worry The smiling rat is nice to his heirs... so long as they are nice to people.

''Barbarian Sloga.
Lorenzo was not ware of your presence, as simply as you are not aware of the beetle beneath your boot as you step upon it.
You may see your loss as tragic, and you may wish to exact revenge, but yours is nothing compared to his. He has lost dozens of villages and countless hundreds of farms to the people you refuse to accept as barbarians.
You say Lorenzo attacked you, but he was simply responding to an attack by your allies.
You brand him a villain when all attacks to you have been accidental, yet your allies have deliberately slaughtered.
You say Lorenzo takes land and slaves. Where is your proof?
Your arguments are unjust, and your hatred naught but ignorance.
Stop this now.
Fjell of Estonia.''

[POMC S117]

"Fjell,

You are stupid! These are bandits! Not soldiers!"

[Free]

''That is enough.''

''My lord..''

The chief tapped some strands of hair away from his left eye as the maid raised her head and stood up.

''Prepare the bath..''

''As you wish..''

As the maid walked out the chief stood up and walked to his wooden desk.
He sat down and prepared to dip the feather in the ink cup.

Brother Azeem,

I do hope the entertainment I sent suffices your needs.
I've heard the Slavic breed do their job above expectations.
My I once get my hands on a few, I will most definitely sent some, my esteemed neighbour.

But I do have a request. May it be possible for my fleet to cross the waters of Ifriqiya?
It is crucial for my nations trade, I would've not ask if it would not benefit you too.
I gladly await your response Sultan.

King Fjell realised it was no use trying to convince the villagers that what they were doing was harmful, so he decided to write a letter to King Aidan.
''King Aidan.
You are fully aware of the situation with the bandits and villagers.
I wish to tell you that Lord Lorenzo meant no harm to the villagers. He was not aware that their homes were in that forest. If he had known, he would not have done what he did.
They refuse to see that Lorenzo does not wish to enslave or kill them.
They brand him the villain, whilst their bandit allies attack and kill his people.
Please, we ask you withdraw your men from the forest.
I have trusted your judgement many times in the past, please trust mine now.
King Fjell.''

[POMC S117]

"My friend,

I do not wish for war but I hope you respect my choice to keep my soldiers in the villages.

King Aidan."

[Skyr]

King Aidan
Since the situtation is not getting better,
and since nobody, apart from Fjell, seems to thinks that I am a monster, only because I tried to defend my people,
I will respect your choice, but I will also try to finish my wall.
Since that if the bandits still attacks me,
I hope that you will help me.
Lord Skyr.

[Masked Pillow]

''King Aidan
I believe Lorenzo's idea is a good compromise.
Let him build his wall, and let it be that if the bandits attack or try to cross that wall, they will be dealt with harshly.
King Fjell.''

"Oh, i could use something to drink, if you don't mind." Garrow responded.
