Arial was thinking….should he force them? With his army…if he raises them…surely…No he decided.
That would only work for a short period of time and in the long term it will prove to be disadvantageous for him.
Then with heavy hearts Arial said
'Then this meeting will be adjourned. A month from now we will meet here again to discuss this matter again. At that time I hope our differences can be resolved' he said his voice is bitter.
The Duke disappointed with the result of the meeting did not even greet the noble lords and even his vassal as he open the huge door of the hall, his grumbling and complaints is reflected clearly on his expression.
The other noble lord is also uncomfortable by rejecting the duke offer but there are too many things that need to be considered.
And they all have decided this before entering the meeting, a coalition spearheaded by Lord Robert of House Dudley.
