Unfair Treaties

Arnulf sat within the confines of a horse-drawn carriage. The crafter who had designed this vehicle embellished it in the style commonly seen in use by Austrian Nobles. By his side was the native translator, Kahwihta.

A company of soldiers accompanied the two of them as they headed towards a nearby Algonquin village, which sat atop a massive coal deposit. The purpose of this visit was simple: negotiate with the natives over the mining rights to such a valuable resource. 

The young native woman rested her head on Arnulf's shoulder as she slept through the journey. A hint of drool escaped from her lips as it fell upon the sleeves of the Grand Duke's regal attire. Despite this, he did not mind, and merely shifted the girl's bangs out of the way of her closed eyes. From his perspective, the young woman had been quite busy lately and needed the rest.
