Post-War Meeting Part II

Riz turned to the rest of his ministers, scanning the faces around the table. "Anything else I might have overlooked?" he inquired.

Michael Manfura, the minister of foreign affairs, stood up and spoke, "Your Majesty, we have received a letter from Blande."

He handed the letter to the king, who swiftly opened it and perused its contents.

A smile tugged at the corner of Riz's lips as he read through the missive.

A slight chuckle escaped Riz's lips as he finished reading. "How amusing," he remarked, shaking his head slightly. "They dare ask for the return of Erle Island after the war they waged against us."

Michael's expression mirrored the king's amusement as he replied, "Indeed, Your Majesty. It appears that they are trying to reclaim what was lost, but we both know that Erle Island rightfully belongs to Ryntum now."
