A Political Uproar

At Cordon Kingdom.

"This is so sudden!" Savannah, the Queen Mother of Cordon, burst out the moment Leon personally delivered to her the news about the marriage alliance between Cordon and Ebodia. "Not even a prior announcement?! What is he thinking?!"

"To be honest, we should've seen this coming the moment he left," Elder Nassar shrugged. 

"Still, we're hopeful that our King will get a fair trade in this alliance that will benefit our Kingdom as a whole. Perhaps Ebodia would kindly share with us their knowledge about magicks or perhaps they'd offer us a few of their mages and a seer as tribute." 

The Elder then frowned upon looking at the missive sent by the messenger. "However, looking at this copy of the alliance agreement, it says nothing about any sort of advantage we get from the union! This reads like we just got fleeced, and it's absolutely ridiculous!"
