<div class="floatright">(http://www.boomtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/eddard-stark-hbo-sean-bean-game-of-thrones.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Valius Maximus<br/><strong>Role:</strong>King of Aserit<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Right behind Kaniene and queen in carriage.<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Anyone<br/><br/>Valius caressed the outer ridges of his beard as he gazed out of the window; it had been quite a tedious journey to the kingdom. His eyes wondered over to the people around the area, they were suffering just like the people off Aserit. What his dear wife, daughter and son did not seem to understand was that war always had a great toll on the common people of the kingdom. They made up the soldiers, blacksmiths and so forth. He could see that war had affected people in Thieri city as well. He could not help just feel sorry for them. His father had always been some one Valius had looked up to, waging one war after the other, claiming territories which he had no real right to claim. Valius had wanted to be like that when he was small but as he grew and began to see the negative impacts of war, his view of it slowly had changed.<br/><br/>He took a deep breath in before glancing over at his daughter, Orianthi. His black leather shirt strained as he settled back into his chair. The sight of his beautiful daughter made him smile; she after all was the only other one whom could understand his views. The queen would agree to them just to appease him like most in his kingdom. He had also a fur cape on, which he had worn normally on long journeys. The rumors at his kingdom had been discreet but there was talk about how his daughter was to wed a member of the Thieri family to ensure the peace agreement didn’t fall through. He had never even thought about this possibility but he wondered if his daughter would make that kind of sacrifice for the kingdom. “So, what do you think?” He asked, his gaze returning to the people whom were holding out empty plates, their bones evidently displaying the lack of proper food.<br/><br/>He could almost feel each and every bump as they drew closer to the gates of the actual castle, perhaps his age was slowly showing, he thought to himself. However he did not make journeys like this often, normally his queen would be the one, though it would be to go to war rather than to discuss terms of peace. Valius lightly chuckled to himself, savages was the word he had received as to the description of people in Thieri and each and every one of their royal family. Yet they seemed so similar to the people of Aserit. Even with all the hopes he had Valius knew that war was something which was inevitable so he had to be prepared for that as well. It would be a last resort, but with his first born and heir, Reynard around anything was a possibility. A man whom would be more than happy to initiate a war.<br/><br/>There had been an ulterior reason for Valius to be coming except just the peace talks, he had also hoped to talk some more with Amelia, the queen of Thieri. His discussions would probably suit a more private arena he thought, he could only imagine his wife’s reaction or the royal family of Thieri, which would probably be similar. He shook his head slightly trying to concentrate at the task at hand, there was an ornament box sitting next to his daughter, it was covered in jewels, it had been a gift he had brought from the royal treasury. Rubbing his eyes one last time, he slumped back into his chair and waited silently for the end of the journey.<br/>
