Negotiating With The Natives (Part-2)

"What! That was not what we were told!" At Alexander's brazen demands, Metztil predictably blew his top off, gnashing his teeth furiously at a nonchalant Alexander.

When they met with Lord Janus, he had assured them the alliance would be a one time thing. 

But now this man in front of him wanted to tear that apart and instead form a defensive pact lasting 15 years!

'Defend the lands of these outsiders? Joke!' Metztil spat with the utmost vehemence, not even putting such an agreement into consideration.

And this was not even him considering the matter of the offered land, which was too small.

Alexander however seemed to not notice the telltale signs of rejection but insisted in a cool, neutral tone,

"That was then. Now is now! You are not dealing with the Margraves anymore. You are dealing with me.. the pasha of Adhania. A new deal needs to be reached."

Alexander insisted as such, pressuring the other side.
