The negotiation between Roland and Milones ended quickly.
The main direction was already determined, and both sides could only pull on insignificant details, so the speed was swift.
After all, it's a major event concerning the future of the realm, negotiations must show some attitude, it can't just be casually agreed upon.
After the agreement was confirmed, no written documents were left.
Who would want to sign such a clandestine agreement, who are weighty figures?
Once something goes wrong in the future, it's assured to peg someone as a traitor or insider, impossible to wash away.
The only guarantee for this agreement is power, and only power.
This fragile agreement is based on the mutual balance of power between the Lord of the Dark and Sofia.
If there is too great a disparity in strength, one could easily wipe out the other, rendering any agreement useless.
The agreement is only valid until it is torn apart.
