Negotiations

Alaric and his squad followed the diplomats into Weton's castle. The diplomats were explaining some of the norms and political systems here in Weton.

"Weton's political system is a little different, and by that I mean they have an elected king or queen. Every ten years the city will place votes in little boxes to elect a new king or queen. Right now, King Frederick is the one in charge."

Another diplomat added, "the guards in the castle are not allowed to speak, at all, so don't try and ask them any questions. Also, don't bow when you get to the throne room. The current king hates things like that and much prefers that everyone stands equally in his presence. He even lowered his throne so that he would never be above those he was talking to."

Alaric was thinking to himself, "do you think that the Trostan Kingdom has already started negotiations with Weton?"
