His majesty Nieldun Gildedtongue frowned at the emissary and paced back and forth like a caged animal. "These accusations you bring against my nation trouble me greatly. Are my people really so untrustworthy that we are your first and prime suspect in this atrocity? Are we such wicked beasts as to murder hundreds of civilians and raze entire communities? And for what exactly? No. My people are not the perpetrators of this raid and as such will not be held accountable! No reparations will be given to you. Now, I advise that you leave our presence and go find the real culprit."
