-- I see too many conditions here, and that's not even counting the threats. For that reason alone, we cannot agree... -- Ambrose, taking the document, jabbed the point of his dagger at the lines "by the court of Lord Albus", "no fewer than five", "shall enter into marriage" -- But this would already be a fourth front, and that is quite untimely for us right now. Let us try to find a compromise here, and if not -- then so much the worse for them.
...
"The Knights of Canamia send greetings to Lord Ferlutz
On behalf of us all, we are glad that the thirst for justice and noble resolve to stand for it remain within you.
However, the conditions you have put forward for preserving what is eternal and self-evident cannot help but surprise us.
We are grieved to note that you have doubts that the first point requires any reminder of itself. We assure you that a proper investigation has already begun and will be pursued until its full success.
In light of the multitude of our enemies, we find the second point just, but we are compelled to strike out the amendment regarding "no fewer than five" so that our other loyal vassals are not unjustly deprived.
Financial aid will be directed to you as needed for military expenditures during the conflict; upon its conclusion, we take upon ourselves the procedure of restoring the region in financial, administrative, and organizational aspects in full measure.
Regarding the third point, we must remind you that such proposals, by all law and custom, are appropriate either from equal to equal, or from superior to inferior, but not the other way around.
Two of our knights have already suffered for Albus. Our commitment to our duties as suzerain, which consist of the fairness of justice, protection from enemies, and avenging wrongs done to our vassals, is unconditional.
As unconditional must be your fulfillment of vassal duties.
In the name of your father's memory and the future of your region, humble your pride.
Better to gain less than desired than to lose what one has.
Understanding the grief that has befallen you and your just thirst for vengeance, we forgive your careless words.
But we also assure you that any forms of betrayal will not be forgiven."
The Knights, having drafted a reply, await the opinions of Axel and Lester on what to add and what to cut.
-- Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, hmm... -- having read Ambrose's reply, Axel turned to Yin before adding his edits. - What do you know about Lord Ferlutz's character? Judging by the letter, one gets the impression that he is a rather capricious young man. Or the text was deliberately composed on the principle of demanding more than you need in order to get what you need.
