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."

"My good king, I must warn you that Lord Highmall will not hesitate to drag Vaalgard into this and possibly into a war, his influence is the same if not greater than our king's." He says. "I must ask you to reconsider."

"Leave already before I cut you down myself for disrespecting the king!" Lord Bornetall said to the messenger. "Our king would never launch a raid on another nation and us, the lords, his loyal servants would not launch a raid unless it was his command." He says. "Now leave!"

The rest of the minor lords and officials seemed to agree with lord Bornetall and started to shout at the messenger, who despite now being scared of the group, stood his ground and waited for Nieldun's response.
