"... In other words, by signing this contract in regards to becoming a vassal territory, we'll retain leadership of the territory while you replace the institute with Iron Academy, which will show your direct support of us for both the citizens to witness and for potential challengers to consider?" questioned Tranton.
Oli nodded.
Barba then asked, "And by signing this contract in regards to becoming a subordinate clan, we not only become lifelong subordinates to the Iron-body Clan but the Iron-body Clan becomes the lifelong backer and resource provider of our family?"
Oli nodded again.
Both parents looked at their sons once more, easily recognizing how Trantor and Trenk longed for them to sign the documents… With that in mind, and given their nearly desperate situation and rocky footing as territory leader, Tranton signed the vassal contract and they both signed the subordinate contract.
Clap, clap, clap!
