UNDERCURRENTS

GRAND HALL

Harald strut to his court ready to hear the matter of his region and settling any disputes. He knows today is not going to be like any other day.

He opens the door as his vassal lords all bowed towards him and he take his seat. He sat on the Grand hall tallest seat and began asking his courtiers of any new developments.

Then one of them offered to tell him something.

'There are some words from our spies, my lord.' 

'What words?' Harald ask

'Lord Leander of Gerhoun in Arrandy has come to visit Vangua.'

'So?'

'We have reason to believe that Lord Leander is Lord Arial plenipotentiary negotiator.' Herald was silent for a few moments before asking

'For what?' 

Then the spymaster gives a parchment to Harald and he unfurled it and then he began reading.

His eyes were wide opens as he understood the content of the parchment and he slammed his hand on the handle of his chair.

'Arial!' He said.
