"My friend, this is all just a tragic misunderstanding. Let me tell you what; you come to dinner with us, tonight. Lord Barthimas will host a dinner in your honor; in fact, we shall celebrate your position, as we hadn't heard that a new Knight had been elected yet! We can discuss the politics of the situation over dinner, and perhaps improve our relationship with your nation. There is no need for ultimatums and demands; I am certain we can find an equitable solution for everyone."
