"T'e last oi 'eard, Courland wasn't enlistin' in t'e services ov mercenaries to capture noble women."

"Neither are we, we are enlisting them to fight for us. What they do in their spare time is up to them. They were never ordered by Ruthern to capture noble women. I mean maybe it has to do with the fact Courlandic leadership insulted and tried to kill them on a diplomatic mission before?" Says Felix Fitch

Wulfgar looks to Felix once more, shaking his head as he offers his retort.

 

"Even in times of war, some rules must be adhered. House Ruthern's silence in condemnin' this act speaks for itself. This war is between the feudin' lords ov t'e land, not their families. 'ave t'ese noblewomen released n' retain honour on the field of battle, lest we forsake ourselves n' forget what it is we are foightin' for."

Aylwin Blaxton, a Highlander diplomat and Chancellor under the service of the Prince Frederick Augustus Horen-Pruessen, furrows his brows as he reads of the capture of two members of the Courlandic Royal Family. He remembers a similar situation that formed not long into the Northern War, where a Courlandic Princess was given little of the respect deserving of Royalty, instead being goaded by soldiers and threatened with execution in a similar fashion. Enemies though they may be to some, few deserve the torment of a sky cell or to be blamed for the crimes of another.

 

Upon this, he pens a letter to the Dunamites, hoping his connections of mutual friends may reach them:

 

"To the Brave men who captured the Members of the Courlandic Royal Family,

 

I write to you with the sincerest of requests: refrain from the execution of the Noble Ladies of House Staunton. As a Highlander and man of Lower Birth than some of the High Lords that play games in this Axios, I place an esteem and value upon Respect, not least of all is the respect to the Nobility. I understand from the rumours about Tahn that you are a mercenary group, who were in the process of being hired by H.R.H the King of Courland, but offered a meagre sum for your worth. I understand the anger that may have been felt by this spur on your own honour, which may have prompted you to capture the Queen Dowager and the Princess of Courland. 

 

Injustice has been carried out by H.R.H the King of Courland, the Queen-Dowager's Son, not Herself. The same is true for that of the Princess, whose only crime it to be related to a King that has failed to maintain his Father's Peace. One rash action by a King does not justify a rash action by yourselves. The Queen-Dowager and her Daughter-in-law hold intrinsic Value which can be capitalised upon, with which you can walk from this affair without blood on your hands, but with bags of minae instead.

 

I, therefore, offer to also pay for the Ransom on the Queen-Dowager and the Princess.

 

The Price can be discussed.

 

Highest Regards,

 

Aylwin Blaxton.

 

Chancellor of Schloss Hochspitze,

Diplomat of Humanity."

Amelia Palaiologos would look at her 4 year old twins playing in her garden while holding her youngest child Tobias, whom had not turned 1 year yet. She would sigh as she read the notes that had been delivered to her about the capture of the Queen and the Queen Dowager. She would shake her head as she wrote a note that was to be delivered to her king.

 

"If thee are in need of money, I shall offer you some of mine so you may pay for the freedom of your wife and mother. Best wishes to you and your family in all of this.

 

Signed,

Baroness Amelia Palaiologos" 

 

After sending off the bird she would look back at her beloved children while letting out another heavy sigh.

A large kha over here's a dwarf and mr. Felix and decides to add his two cents

 

"Well yah see, even though your mercinaries are not your own men, nor is their free time your job to constantly police. Your men have supported the action, they have made not attempt to show diplomacy in getting the woman freed. They server no part in saving them rather to simply condemn them to the hands of someone who acts in their name. Meaning the blood of their lives rests on ruther hands. Police your men or their actions fall on you no matter the course that is taken" 

[TankM1A2 840]

"An excellent catch!" Glendon Stafford would exclaim, as he sat along the bank of a river beside his son, Galtry, who had cast his line and reeled in a rather large bass. The two of them would be uniformed about the status of the Courlandic royals, happily going about their day.

[Helios_ 288]

Antonious of house Cez chuckles with a sort of dissapointment.

 

"One must recognize that those who set out to start a war should feel the consequences assocated with it.

 

Let's all stop acting like this bloody conflict won't result in the complete and utter destruction of the other family and land. Either side of the families face slaughter and if the Stauntons were granted the opportunity to slaughter/capture a Ruthern, which they already have, they'd take it within a very quick heartbeat.

 

Yet, they hide in their keeps and don't have the respect to protect their own people and taxpayers, watching everything from atop of their walls. They asked for a fight by killing an innocent boy that hadn't even reached double digits, they should be prepared for much more than the capture of their family...

 

...and and so should the men that stand by them.

 

Grow up. If what you see is not what you like, then you aren't fit for this already dirty war for greed. Go home and don't be walking around in enemy territory, simple."
