Meanwhile in the Castuicia empire Skeleton raven, blackwings, and bone ravens flew straight into the castle and landed in the royal palace courtyard. Palace guards where caught off guard the emperor where in the courtyard when the undead arrived. One of the bone ravens walk up to him.
Emperor I am a messager from the kingdom of freedom.

First a formal apology to the kingdom of freedom and kingdom of eagalon. Second for the Castuicia empire to pay for damages that Princess Eileen and her troops did to the
kingdom of eagalon. And lastly that Princess Eileen become a concubine to king Colt of the kingdom of freedom said the bone raven
If I refuse to accept these terms said emperor Frederick.
Then the actions of princess Eileen will be assumed to be officially order by you emperor Frederick and be considered an act of war reply the bone raven.
Is that aspost to scare me said emperor Frederick.
It not intended to reply the bone raven.
And if I would like to meet your king and speak to him about this matter reply emperor Frederick.
It is possible reply the bone raven.
Good then king Colt can come here and we can discuss that happened reply emperor Frederick.
No reply the bone raven. You must go to king Colt. He is currently in the kingdom of eagalon. You can go there and see him.
And if I refuse reply emperor Frederick.
Then it will be taken as admission of agreement with the actions of princess Eileen. Reply the bone raven.
If I send someone in my place instead of going myself would that be acceptable? Asked emperor Frederick.
It would be acceptable as long as they have the power to make agreement, pacts or declare war reply the bone raven.
Very well reply emperor Frederick. I will send prince Jerome to meet your king.
Very wise emperor Frederick reply the bone raven. You are sending your second son
prince Jerome instead of the crown prince
Finlay. Crown prince Finlay is more of a warlord then a diplomat. But prince Jerome is a diplomat all the way.
I will take my leave emperor Frederick but before I do can you turn your attention to your left said the bone raven.
As soon as emperor Frederick look at his left a skeleton assassin appeared ten feet away from him with a letter in its hand.
Emperor Frederick the skeleton assassin have a letter from our king and I would recommend you do not have anyone look at it except yourself there is some of your empire secrets in it said the bone raven. The skeleton assassin walk to Emperor Frederick and handed him the letter and then disappeared again.
Emperor Frederick open the letter and his blood ran cold some of the information was only known by hisself and his most trusted man. Some of the other information he did not know and he was going to see if it is true.
Please tell your king I thank him for the information it was an eye opener for me reply
Emperor Frederick.
As soon as the undead was gone Emperor Frederick ordered his men to summon prince Jerome, crown prince Finlay and princess Miya his chambers immediately.
About 30 minutes later they where all sitting in Emperor Frederick study.
What wrong father asked prince Jerome.
Why do there need to be something wrong asked crown prince Finlay.
Because father would not have call us to his study if everything was fine reply prince Jerome.
You are correct prince Jerome reply Emperor Frederick. Afew hours ago your sister princess Eileen try to force the kingdom of eagalon to submit to our empire.
When princess Isobel refused submit so princess Eileen attack her and was stop by troops from the kingdom of freedom and instead of backing down she attack them.
Princess Eileen and her troops were captured and are currently imprisoned. The kingdom of freedom have sent a messager to us with all the information of what happened and with a list of demands.
So what are they demands asked prince Jerome.
There demands are the following first a formal apology to the kingdom of freedom and kingdom of eagalon from the Castuicia empire . Second for the Castuicia empire to pay for damages that Princess Eileen and her troops did to the kingdom of eagalon. And lastly that Princess Eileen become a concubine to king Colt of the kingdom of freedom. If all the demands are met then the kingdom of freedom will consider it a mistake and not declare war on us and they will release all of the soldiers and dragons of the
Castuicia empire in their custody.
We should just fight them reply crown prince Finlay.
I was thinking the same thing until I was handed this said emperor Frederick as he handed the letter to crown prince Finlay.
Crown prince Finlay readed it and was shocked how did they know that was a secret.
I know reply emperor Frederick I was not even informed by you. Then emperor Frederick handed it to princess Miya.
She readed it then handed it to prince Jerome and he readed it.
So father reply prince Jerome. You have no idea about that these two where doing.
No reply emperor Frederick.
So they have top secret information and this is probably just a small amount of top secret information they have because in this gigantic game of chess you never show your full potential until you know your enemy is trapped said prince Jerome.
You are exactly correct reply emperor Frederick. So this is what I decided to do.
Crown prince Finlay get all the armies assemble and have them stand by. So if negotiations break down we can attack the kingdom of freedom or at the bear minimum be ready to defend our lands.
Prince Jerome, and princess Miya I am sending yous to the kingdom of eagalon to
negotiate with the kingdom of freedom.
