"You are?" Bob questioned, obviously surprised. Her country wasn't really famous for anything. "Well, what are the terms?"

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

"I am here to negotiate an agreement to an alliance, or such." the diplomat replied.

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

Skyr I responded to you you od Italian, paganism best way to go.

Spoiler:

Not when the French and Byzantiums are in charge...

"Begin then." Said Boris.

[The-Shadow-One]

The smiling rat responded to the letter, offering coal, workers and soldiers, he said that Lorenzo can offer what he wants and sends back the terms so he may adapt his terms appropiatly
-----
The diplomat bowed "an alliance of war and trade, in hard times he asks that you help him, and he will help you in your hard times."

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

no I mean the firts one. By the way...

"send a letter to The Smiling Rat, tell him that in this time of changes an alliance could be profitable, and that we can't trust no more this corrupted Pope." tells Lorenzo to his courier. "also contact the king of Estonia, ask him too about an alliance"

Spoiler:

War over religion all ready? I was wanting to wait until 1100AD.

"So then," the diplomat said. He handed the king the letter.

Dear Most Revered King Boris of Bulgaria,
I write to you concerning a possible alliance. In this time and age, the land of Europe is dark and feuded upon. To secure one's own self, one has to ally with someone else, so they may be supported, and vice versa. In this reasoning, I hope you will see why I want to write this to you. In this alliance, we shall trade freely, and help each other in times of need, and we can both use each other's land, albeit not the whole land, as you know why. Once this alliance is started, we will surely become bigger and more prosperous.

Sincerely,
Queen Bob of Greece

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

"I see. And what is to secure each other from not backstabbing?" the Queen asked.

[Skyr]

Spoiler:

War over religion all ready? I was wanting to wait until 1100AD.

Spoiler:

Do you want that I go back? I think that I can still change nearly everything.

[POMC S117]

He read it carefully. "I know that I can offer you this. But what can you offer the "Secondary Byzantium Empire"?"

Spoiler:

No. It's fine. but you will have the biggest powerhouses against you. When the Crusades hit things are going to be confusing to say the least.

[The-Shadow-One]

The diplomat blinked confused. "my king has trust in his allies, and bids his allies trust in him"

[Skyr]

Spoiler:

that's true, it will be very weird. by the way when our king die can we change the politics of the state?

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

He doesn't have to die.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

"I see. Well, we can start this alliance, but I have to ask, your king's name sounds... tricky and cunning, so I will have to be careful, and who else are you allied with?"

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

"The Secondary Roman Empire?" the diplomat asked.

[POMC S117]

"Byzantium." He corrected. "The Roman Empire is an old name."

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

"I see." the diplomat lied, putting his hand on his chin. "I'm sure the Queen said that she would offer money, and soldiers, to the alliance."

[POMC S117]

"We are rich already, and our army strong. The only thing you can offer us is a strong naval base." Boris said.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

"A strong naval base our country can surely offer," the diplomat replied confidently, "as our land is bordering the ocean."

[POMC S117]

"Then it is settled?" Asked King Boris.

[The-Shadow-One]

The diplomat said quietly "he seeks to add northern Italy and he has the king Aidan of western scotland"

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

"'Tis settled, I believe," the diplomat said while rising and outstretching his hand.

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

"I see." the Queen said. "Well, the only thing I need to reinforce on is your ruler's name, but otherwise, I believe it is settled." She rose to shake her hand.

[POMC S117]

Boris shook it.

(Shadow, western)

[The-Shadow-One]

The diplomat bowed "the smiling rat is a namesake he took for himself, his full is king jonathon moir," he said as he shook queens hand.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

"Hmm," she shook the diplomat's hand, "I still do not get why he chose that name."

Spoiler:

Irony, you may believe.

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

His hair and the fact that in childhood he was always scurrying around much like a rat.

The diplomat bowed once more "now may I go back and take a letter of your agreement?"

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

Spoiler:

My queen does not know that.

The Queen wrote a letter of a agreement quickly and gave it to the diplomat.

[The-Shadow-One]

The diplomat hurried off back and the smiling rat informed king aidan of his new ally.

[POMC S117]

Aidan was very interested in all these alliances.

(So you only want 200 troops? Some people can make 3 towns. Basically everyone but me and Shadow)
