Zianro shifted a bit at her words. "Uncomfortable is one word I would sum up on what I think. Your musings in front of me makes me once more questioning if you'll really leave Valsir as is." Zianro stated. "However, I feel that your strategy for the war so far-" he stopped when the doors opened again and he sighed, Orina's messenger was next.<br/><br/>He didn't pay attention to Orina's message, or Durn's. Orina's was the same as Meria's, a willful bowing out of the affairs of Zankor and Beracia. However, Durn's messenger stated that a Regent lord has been established and they demand the return of the King and his Heir, or Durn shall mobilize and make ready for war.<br/><br/>"So much for Durn being slow..." Zianro commented. Then Valsir's messenger arrived.<br/><br/>"Queen Marianna Murdock, long may your reign be. I, King Ragnar VII, after much deliberation and council with the Elders, have agreed that the terms of Alliance are Favorable. We lend several of Valsir's finest hardened warriors to bolster your numbers. In return for the following, the Alliance be sealed by Marriage to any Valsir Warrior bloodline, From the King's bloodline to the Sacred Azura bloodline." The messenger bowed and left.<br/><br/>The moment the messenger did, Zianro slid down the pillar he was leaning on, his face in full shock. Valsir did agree to the terms, but also subtly said to Zianro 'Sorry! You're on your own!' Ragnar was cruising for a fistfight should they encounter each other again!
