Daily life (2)

Time slowly passed and eventually a few weeks had passed since the ceremony, little had changed except the work on the new walls had started with the foundation beginning to be dug at this moment, Mars however had other things to think about and that was mostly due to the long diplomatic letter he had received from the NNE

'So basically they want me to hand over my wealth in exchange for diplomatic and military protection... Heh..."

Mars found the letter funny, Jan that had handed him the letter however was a little nervous and asked

"How do you want to handle this Mars?"

Mars gave a shrug and asked Jane in return

"How would you handle it?"

"Hmm... Well the only real option is to surrender our wealth and officially become a part of the NNE..."

Mars gave a smile and spoke

"Well then let me change your mind about that... Send them an insult in return, make it personal too"

"Is that really... Okay?"
