The Iriyian ruler has approached me directly to forge an alliance with us. One thing, the Iriyian ambassador who was here knows about my daughter and that man. She informed her czar and was gone before I discovered this. The second thing is that Iriy and Niflheim are on the edge of exploding at one another, I don't doubt this and he is something akin to anxious. He brought the points of Niflheim's coast, that we could rival its military power. He offered me, in advance, land, their technology and, if we took them over, to be the leading power. He offered me the promise of giving me the two who have caused this mess, whether I would agree to his idea of an alliance or not.
He's young as you can tell by now, with a fierce attachment to blood, honour and duty. But all of what he had offered are things do not mean anything when the future isn't certain and he would first have the advantage of what we can give. I refuse for any of our generosity to be taken advantage of again. And he remains a foreigner and, at this time, his being one is not at all appealing thing to me.
But I brought him around to finally offering what he could give us outside of assurances and his word: oil. They also have other precious minerals which could be of use. I will have your thoughts and advice before I agree and sign anything. I also wish to know how things are in Camelot as of right now, Morpheus. I'd like to know if they will assist or resist us. Hades, report to me about the regions you have narrowed down. They cannot be allowed to settle or be accepted anywhere with severe consequences.
I also intend to make an official announcement to the people. It's time they know for certain what is the price for betrayal and what that girl has done to us.
