"I can not show you unless you are willing to form an alliance with me. Our alliance will differ from other kingdoms as we will have a full free trade alliance that will allow us to freely move back and forth between the nations. With certain restrictions on people who have been arrested in either nation. If you are willing to form the alliance, then I can show you everything I have planned and in the works to ensure both our nation's safeties." I would not give out or show what I had on hand for nothing. After all, only when an alliance was formed would we both have the means to truly trust each other. I am not saying that the elves are untrustworthy, but I can not risk the lives of my soon to be citizens.
