The Terms Have Changed

Back to the present day in Qiryn…

Prince Andrius was the one who broke the awkward silence in the dining hall by announcing more news to King Tyrion. "Your Majesty, another piece of news that I wanted to inform you is that there is a current cease-fire between Zemaria and Arcanis.

It happened when they released our mages in exchange for the werewolves who wanted to go back to Arcanis. It was King Alaric who did the deal in our border but of course, we all know that it's the witch queen's doing. When I shook hands after agreeing to their terms, he had hidden a piece of paper and let me show you what was written." Prince Andrius took the paper from his pocket and gave it to King Tyrion. 

Elandir and Queen Ydril also read the note together with the king. Elandir's eyes widened, of all the things that he could imagine, this was something that was out of his expectation.
