Devaguea was NOT amused to learn that the Swordlords had apparently preformed a light version of lese-majeste and left him as the patsy. He was VERY tempted to express his discontent, but withheld the urge. There were better ways to get back at them, and ones that wouldn't result in BOTH sides trying to remove his head. So instead, he had gone to focus on the mayor.<br/><br/>"I was just wondering what your faction expected of my kingdom, and hoped that removing all the middle men but one would smooth out the message and keep it understandable. When I invited the kingdoms to my coronation about two years ago, I offered to be a neutral middle ground to both the Swordlords and the Surtovans. Camilla here was interested enough to volunteer, but the first I have heard back from the Aldori was their request for reimbursement."<br/><br/>Diplomacy (+31 base)
