Marianna had started to apply here skills of manipulation on the King of Durn. "You would stoop that low because as I stated earlier if I must I will go to war with Durn, and a war with Durn with out the aid of its allies would be crushed swiftly. You know this as well as I do." then when the king had stated that he saw no Durn nobility that was competent enough to be placed as a regent her strategy changed. "You know I will let you go but I will be keeping your heirs here to insure that talks of vassalage occur, rest assured they will not be harmed, I ask that in return when you do regain control of Durn you Stay out of any upcoming conflicts, as well as inform me of who this regent lord is."
