Let me make it simple for you the maid that was almost kill was not just a maid she is one of king Colts assistants reply Diamond. So as soon as king Colt find out he will be looking for blood and are you prepared for that. You should check with your leader first.
The assassin when pale at that their was a unwritten rule in the black cloak that you never do anything to make the king of freedom king Colt an enemy of the black cloak unless order by the supreme leader.
I understand and will let my leader know reply the assassin we will take our leave they bow and then disappeared.
That was at all about reply rear admiral Kian.
It simple the black cloak and the kingdom of freedom have an agreement reply Diamond.
The kingdom of freedom will not hunt them down if the black cloak stays out of the kingdom and all territories under the control of the kingdom of freedom. And if they do anything in our territory we will kill every one of its members we found.
I think I understand reply princess Shannon.
You have an agreement with them and as long as they follow it you allow them to operate but the moment they break it you will destroy them.
Exactly reply Diamond it is getting late stay for dinner and then tomorrow morning you can go explore Rehull.
You are correct lady Diamond it been a long day reply princess Shannon. How is miss
Amy doing?
Amy will be okay but it will be some time before she is back to her normal duties reply Diamond.
That is a relief reply princess Shannon.
Lady Diamond if there anything the chiris empire can do to help miss Amy please let me know said rear admiral Kian. Miss Amy is in the empires debt. And we never let a debt go unpaid.
I will let miss Amy know reply Diamond. But she will probably refuse any type of reward for what she did.
It will be okay reply rear admiral Kian we always remember a debt if there nothing we can do now we do something for her when she finally decides what she wants.
It is almost dinner time would you and princess Shannon join me for dinner asked Diamond to rear admiral Kian.
Yes it would be nice reply rear admiral Kian.
After what just happen.
Then this way reply Diamond.
They walked into the dining hall and sat down. Diamond ask them about their tour of the capital. Do yous go everywhere yous wanted to?
Yes they both reply.
The weapon smiths and magic shops have alot of nice goods and for reasonable prices if all your weapon smiths and magic shops are like this we may need to discuss possibility of buying a large amount of weapons and magic items reply rear admiral Kian.
Would it not be too expensive to ship them to your empire reply Diamond.
Yes it would be reply rear admiral Kian. If we ship them back to our continent but if we have a fortress or aquire some land here it would be more beneficial if we buy from you.
Do you have a place in mind asked Diamond.
Yes there was three places reply rear admiral Kian. The first one was Rehull. But that will not work now.
What about the other two asked Diamond.
The second one is Wingston reply rear admiral Kian. It is a trade port city between the demons and demi-human.
They may agree as long as it do not interfere with there trade agreements with the demons and demi-humans reply Diamond.
It will not reply rear admiral Kian. In our empire you are not judge by race but by your works and worth.
How about slaves asked Diamond.
We have slaves and we have strict laws about how you can treat them, how you can buy and sell them , and how you can aquire them reply rear admiral Kian.
How you aquire them asked Diamond?
Yes you can not make a slave out of a citizen of the empire or of any of the empire allies or trade partners reply rear admiral Kian.
Then they probably with agree with your proposition reply Diamond. Where is the last one located?
The last one is Norton reply rear admiral Kian.
Do not even waste your time reply Diamond.
Why asked princess Shannon? Do you think we can not make a deal with them?
I know you will not be able to because they are a vassal state to the Degon Empire reply Diamond.
How do you know asked rear admiral Kian?
We have spys in the Degon Empire that give us a good amount of information reply rear admiral Kian.
Because king Colt do not trust the Degon Empire so we have send a good amount of our intelligence team into the Degon Empire reply Diamond. And we have alot of information about their allies, alliances,trade agreement, pacts, vassal lord, vassal states and their troops movements.
You have that much information on the Degon Empire reply rear admiral Kian.
Yes reply Diamond we have information on all our allies, all our neighboring kingdoms and empires, and all hostile forces on this continent and we have territory on the Fournds continent. But since that was only afew weeks ago we are still working on getting information on that continent.
So you have territory on other continents asked rear admiral Kian?
As of right now there is only one other continent we have any territory in reply Diamond.
That is still impressive reply rear admiral Kian. Most empires and kingdom that have territory on multiple continents are hundreds of years ago not a young kingdom that have almost no history.
You are incorrect reply Diamond. The kingdom of freedom have no history king Colt found it about three to four months ago when the other worlders appeared.
The other worlders who are they asked princess Shannon.
They appeared about three to four months ago reply Diamond. At first they be small castles with a magic barrier that you could not break though. But the lord and the lords troops could and the troops where always different. After seven days if the lord was not kill mosters would attack the castle and the surrounding areas. After the attacks where done the magic barriers disappeared.
We call them false kings but yes we have them on our continent reply rear admiral Kian. Most of the ones that appeared closed to settlement ended up disappearing afew days after they appeared. Some where destroyed when the mosters attack . We kill some after the barriers dispear and some where kill before because the lords themselves left the castles to attack settlements.
So you managed to kill all of them asked Diamond?
No reply rear admiral Kian. Will believe 50% to 60% where killed but some did managed to overrun settlements and took them over. And afew join forces with us.
How many did that asked Diamond.
There been 30 settlements that where taken over. We believe there is about five to ten thousand false kings still on our continent and only four false kings have become our allies reply rear admiral Kian.
That so reply Diamond. Is there any old fae fortress or outpost on your continent?
There may be in the curse forest rear admiral Kian.
The curse forest what is that asked Diamond?
The curse forest is a forest of death and evil spirits reply rear admiral Kian it been like forever.
Not exactly reply princess Shannon.
What do you know about the curse forest asked Diamond.
The cursed forest and hells peak both use to be fae realm territory reply princess Shannon. The chiris empire where allies with the fae. We suddenly lose contact with them about thousands years ago. When it happened we send soldiers to check on them and the soldiers never return. We have repeatedly try to send soldiers but they never manage to get to the fortress in the curse forest or the outpost on hells peak.
If the kingdom of freedom manage to make it to the fortress and the outpost can we keep the territory asked Diamond?
I will asked my father once I return to the empire reply princesses Shannon.
That will do reply Diamond. If you would want to I can accompany you to Wingston. They are a trade partner with the kingdom of freedom.
That would be great reply princess Shannon.
Good it is settled I will accompany you to Wingston first thing in the morning reply Diamond.
Everyone finish their food and when to their respective rooms.
Meanwhile on the island of pirate haven the undead where searching the island to make sure it is secure and no attacker where hiding on the island. Decken reported to Colt that undead mange to take all the enemy ships to shallow water in a natural harbor in the territory of freedom that no one knows.
