Well, I don't know your own religious stances, but in this fantasy world it seems the Church is mainly about power and control of the masses, with heavy restrictions on personal liberties in name of religious purity.<br/><br/>On that matter, I would like to have a trio of intelligence checks for the chess match's end there.</div></div><br/>"With all that on the table, I think you have already shown we have few options but to agree." Speaking seriously, the raven haired woman sitting opposite to Tehr spoke up. "We can fight the House Dale's influence on our own if we want, but the fact of the matter is if we get our foot in the doorway about some lucrative contracts like the one you mentioned, it would allow the family to gain power. What's more, its a good thing to see a Queen on the throne once in a while. Constant line of kings has had its own drawbacks in treatment of women at times." She finished placing a piece down on the checkboard.<br/><br/>"Check." Now the game had taken a turn. She was pressing her game, and right now, she and Tehr were at a more even ground. Both checking the other in small turns with only few pieces left.<br/><br/>"As for securing an alliance, house Wynt has not shown itself in public too much in the past but the recent weeks have shown the rise and I am certain that you have ambition." The blonde woman spoke now in turn looking at Tehr very seriously. "Ambition and the intellect to pull this together. I don't see you playing side-bets in this game as is, if things fell apart I doubt they would land fitting to your agenda either. I doubt house Dale would give the House Wynt much even if you had allied with them, and you are not asking us to do anything treasonous or damning either. You are offering us a great deal, asking for our friendship in turn."<br/><br/>Finally, the third sister with the sword in hand stepped over and spoke in a serious turn. "I think its already decided. If you interrupt the house Dale at the particular event from signing an agreement with the queen and get us a chance to present our case, we will make sure to land that contract to ourselves. In return, we will be more than happy to ally ourselves with a house already established as an ally to our interests." As she nod the matron slapped her hands together.<br/><br/>"Wonderful."
