Well well, I was just wondering what was taking you so long, Pythium.

Let's first make something very clear: if you wish to backstab and blackmail the honorable nation of C'tis, and align yourself with the scum of Arco, then that is one thing. But do not do it under the pretense of ensuring safety for yourself. C'tis has not been involved in any political or military schandal; these exist only in the minds of Arco. And your borders are perfectly safe I would say, with a nice castle and 200+ troops only 2 provinces away from my capital.

So, now we have established the true situation, of which you decided to take advantage and blackmail us. Fair enough. We will contact you privately with a counter-offer. Also, we ask that you specify exactly how you will guarantee the safety of our borders once we have reached an agreement.
