The King smiled big and bright before looking up to the Prince after pondering about the offer, "I think my oldest can manage just fine, he's been training hard lately and has beaten you once before, I accept your offer," he stuck out a hand for Jasper to shake to make the deal official. Food from the outpost and a handicap during the Dueling Championship for a few hundred soldiers.

Jasper smiled and nodded in agreement when the King spoke of his son winning that match before, he agreed in accepting that it was a fair match and he only got arrogant and made a mistake, the win was fair and square, so in the King's eyes there is reason to see why his son would be worthy, "Then it's a deal, I'll send a courier over to EverGlenn immediately to retrieve the food and meet at our borders, the location will be given as well, I on the other hand wish your son the best of luck this year, things have changed," he gave a greedy but friendly grin to the King before continuing the walk around the castle.

The King held his smile, "Great, it shall be a glorious match when the time comes," They walked a bit further before running into then King's oldest Prince and the Princess of EverGlenn. "My son, I have great news for you, this year during the Dueling Championship, Prince Jasper has agreed to fight handicap against you, this will be a stepping stone to your victory for the title," they shared an embrace before the two separated from the group and left the Prince and Princess alone.

Jasper looked at Jemma while the King spoke to his son, giving her a reassuring smile that he knew what he had done and everything was going to be okay. When the King left with Fiyori he stepped up to his sister, "We now have soldiers for Father's war, it was one of the things I was capable of gambling, don't worry though, I'll win that duel, thanks to you my left arm is extremely powerful on its own." He gave her another reassuring smile while placing a hand on her shoulder, "I have to talk to a courier, I'll leave you in the hands of Vince, he's the youngest brother and will keep you company till I return," The Golden Prince left back down the hall and away from everyone.

(during the final moments of Jasper's and the King's meeting)

Fiyori continued to escort Jemma around the castle, "Of course, we love company and its an honor to have you, the Royalty of EverGlenn are always so elegantly dressed and their belongings decorated with jewels, we love to see such beauty, " he had a curious question about her brother, "How has Jasper been training for the Championship? Does he seem confident for his first run at the title? I assume you know being his sister and probably helping him train." They neared the King and Jasper from around the corner and he kissed her hand before departing, "Ill see you tonight at dinner." He gave her a smile and left with his father into a separate room.

Shortly after the King and Prince entered the room where the other brothers were, Vince stepped out to meet the Princess for the first time, his head a little low as if to hide something on his face, "So your Princess Jemma? Nice to meet you," Vince wasn't big on the formalities or respect towards anyone except those in his family, he's arrogant, rude, and selfish, though he 'tries' to be nice once in awhile. "I guess I'm escorting you to where you and your brother will be staying," he said in a flat tone before gesturing down one hall, "This way." He started walking in front of her, trying to make distance but not to be rude about it. "I hear your brother is going handicap this year, it's Fiyori's third chance and Jasper's first in the Championship, what a stupid mistake, my brother is going to beat the crap out of him, he still hasn't forgiven him for what he did to me all those years ago," he turned to face her and smirked a little as the scar across his eye downward was now clearly visible.
