Zianro was standing at a Pillar watching all the access areas of the Throne Room, learning all of them during the past week. He watched the Messenger enter the throne room.<br/><br/>"The People of Meira Congratulate you on capturing a Hostage in order to try to negotiate with us. We will take your words in consideration, as without Meira, the Pillar of Meiran, the Entire Continent falls with us." The messenger stated, "However, the Queen must warn you that the King of Beracia will be enraged with this, and will no doubt send an exploratory army to find out what happened during the events of your ball and what you're up to, if he hasn't already."<br/><br/>Zianro looked at the messenger and thought he had a point. If Beracia got a hint of something wrong, they'd send a small army to investigate, like a Vulture showing the kill to a large predator.<br/><br/>"It is therefore fitting that your messenger tell you that we demand the safety of our heir, along with the respect given to us as the founders of Civilization. Signed, Queen Alexandra."<br/><br/>Zianro sighed. Meira may be the founders of civilization, But Valsir was the Cradle of life in his Views. He looked towards Marianna to see her reaction.
