Conditions And Demand

King Armen continued, "The Kingdom of Abetha owes the Kingdom of Megaris, and I would like to offer my gratitude by giving what the King of Megaris wants."

Drayce looked at the older man, his red eyes asking a silent question over King Armen's last line—what the King of Megaris wants.

King Armen smiled lightly after getting that gaze and added, "Of course, this offer does not include the throne of Abetha. You can have anything that won't cause heavy loss or harm to Abetha. As a father, although I am thankful, this action also carries political intent as this is a gesture under my name, Armen Ilven, to make the relationship between our two kingdoms stronger." He was not the kind of king who would blindly offer something to anyone.

"Is King Armen sure that you will grant what I want, as long as they fall along the conditions you have mentioned?" Drayce asked. "Not the throne, not causing harm and will strengthen the alliance between our kingdoms?"
