With all of the rebel leaders looking at him, Marcus smiled and said, "Hello there I am Jed, and I am here to offer my help on behalf of the Kingdom of Borealia."

Marcus then gave a little bow to the room show his sincerity.

"The kingdom of Borealia? Why did they send someone to us?" A middle-aged halfling man said with a suspicious look.

"Marek, you seem to have already known about this would you mind explaining." A young-looking woman who was wearing a white robe that was radiating magical energy said.

Nodding his head Marek the rebellion's leader said, "Yes, Jadzia here ran into his man while on her mission to deal with the mountaineer brigade. Apparently, he is an agent for the kingdom of Borealia and has come to offer their aid."

However, hearing this a few of the rebel leaders looked at Marcus with dubious expressions, though the young-looking woman wearing the white rob smiled after she looked at him intently.

"Chief are you sure. Borealia has been the enemy of our kingdom forever. I doubt that they really want to help us." 

"I agree, there is no way we can trust them. I heard that if they catch anyone from Tralenstein in their borders they turn them into slaves."

BANG!

Slamming his fist on the table Marek got his twelve captains to turn their attention back towards him and stop their bickering.

"I know that our kingdom has its problems with Borealia, but we need to think about this logically. They are a powerful kingdom, certainly more powerful than our own. I am sure that some of you do not want to admit that, but I can tell you it is true. I have fought against their knight command, and he is stronger than anyone in Tralenstein. Even when I along with the second and sixth ranked great knight tried to defeat him, we lost. It is simply a fact that Borealia became stronger than us by allowing those with talent to prosper rather than only focusing on those born into nobility. Any stories you have heard are just lies and fantasies that were spread around to make the territory the kingdom lost seem worse. If they were really weaker, do you think that the Kingdom of Borealia would not have been taken over again by Tralenstein."

With no recourse against what the chief had said the biggest dissenters to the idea of working with Borealia went quiet.

"Now then Borealia sent you to negotiate with us. What are they willing to offer us for support? And what do they want in return?" Marek said while looking at Marcus a tinge of hope in his eyes.

Pulling out the sending stone Aria had given him, Marcus sent a message to the king who he had already apprised of the situation earlier.

A few minutes later he got a reply and threw the sending stone to Marek and said, "Here, you can speak to the king directly."

Grabbing the sending stone out of the air Marek raised an eyebrow not having expected to be speaking to the King of Borealia, but this did have both its advantages and disadvantages.

"Hello this is Marek Laska the Chief of the Tralenstein Rebellion. I am told I am talking to King Aaren Borealia."

After saying this Marek waited for a response before hearing on the other end, "Laska huh. To think that the leader of such a powerful house would rip away from Tralenstein's nobility to turn rebel. Ah, and yes this is King Aaren Borealia. My agent told me that he had made contact and was successful in getting me a meeting with the Tralenstein Rebels. Now I am sure we have a lot to discuss." 

Once their initial greeting was finished Marek and the king began discussing what Borealia would do to help the rebellion and what they wanted in return.

However, at one point in the conversation with an astonished expression Marek practically yelled, "Princess Daniela is alive!

Hearing this all of the rebel captains seemed surprised knowing who this was.

"Who is this Princess Daniela?" Marcus whispered into Lyra's ear.

"She was the first princess and the eldest child during the previous king's reign and a very popular choice for becoming the next monarch over the current king from what I have heard. But most assumed she was killed when the current king who was the second prince at the time began massacring all of his siblings when their father was getting old and was unable to rule properly." Lyra whispered back into Marcus' ear.

A few more minutes passed by as Marek and the king talked, before they finished their negotiations.

"So, we cannot expect any other reinforcements? 

"Very well I will consider your offer, but first I need to confer with my captains."

Putting the sending stone down Marcus looked at all of them and said, "I have finished talking with the King of Borealia and he does indeed wish to support us. Also, as I assume you all heard me earlier, but yes Princess Daniela is alive. The king allowed me to talk to her and I was able to guarantee her identity. Also, I should tell that she is now one of the king's wives and she has had a child with him."

As Marek said this all of the rebel captains had stunned expressions on their faces except for the woman in the white robe.

They could not believe that the princess who most of them had actually supported before was still alive.

"Yes, it is unexpected to hear but it also makes things more complicated. The King of Borealia wants to place his daughter on the throne of Tralenstein and eventually integrate it into a dutchy of his kingdom."

At this around half of the captains began raving with complaints saying that they could not sacrifice the sovereignty of their kingdom.

Though some of the more levelheaded captains seriously thought about this proposal.

Tralenstein was not only bordered by Borealia to the north but there were four other nations to the south, three of which Tralenstein had less than stellar relations with.

In fact, they were currently having a skirmish with one of these nations over a recently discovered dungeon that lay in between their borders which both were trying to claim.

So, the fear that some of the rebellion captains had, was that if they won and usurped the current king, that before the kingdom could stabilize one of their neighbors might try to take over.

Of course, they did not have this fear of Borealia since to keep their pact with the adventures guild they could not be the aggressor in a war or initiate a hostile takeover.

"What is Borealia willing to give us in return for this?" The white robed woman said.

Yet as she did the middle-aged halfling captain said, "Lady Tesia you cannot be considering this deal? It is preposterous."

However, as the halfling man's outburst Tesia just turned her head towards him and calmly said, "Of course I am considering it. This is an unprecedented chance to gain a powerful ally. And did you not hear, Princess Daniela is alive. If we had her backing us it would give the rebellion a great deal more legitimacy. Anyway, I can tell from what the King of Borealia said that he was completely truthful. And this young man who has come with Jadzia is very earnest.. I see no deceit in his nature."
