Tansen was relieved when he was told to speak plainly. He had no love for politics and cutting around the hedge. He had been a warrior in the Lodite army the past five years, and developed a love for being able to speak plainly in front of men. "Your highness, I have to admit, I have very little love for your nation, and I know you have very little love for mine. But if we are to make these negotiations continue towards peace as our fathers have wished, then you should not lie." He watched the Ritter Hex out of the corner of his eye. He knew the Hex would have no problem with putting a sword to him now, so he had to stay alert.<br/><br/>"The very least you can do is respect me enough to tell me the truth. I if you wish to go behind your fathers back that is your choice. I should wonder if your children will carry out your last wish if you were on the death bed in the same way." He began to slow down nearly turning around as he spoke his last words. "But as you said, you have a very busy evening, so I think I shall be off to tell her of your wonderful news."
