The kingdom of Xandia had been oddly peaceful over the past 6 years, the proposed war by the King Rodriguez of Tycan has been kept on a low profile.
In the royal throne room, a meeting held by King Gale, his Sorcerer Myst who is also the Royal advisor, the council and his knights congregate on the issue which has been of great concern to it's citizens, was the proposed truce.
"We should attack before they do!", Sir Richard proposed while slamming his hands on the round table with a stoic face."That would be foolish on our part, let's hear what they have to say, maybe we could come to terms with their demand for a truce; it isn't all about violence" Sir Rowland countered.
Immediately Sir Rowland suggested this, all eyes were focused on the King gauging his reaction as he rested his chin on his tightly clasped knuckles. Silence engulfed the room until the King finally spoke:"In all my years of ruling, we have lived in relative peace and I wouldn't want to put our people in danger for what we could have avoided amicably. We would see what King Rodriguez has to say, if it's on agreeable terms we will be willing to make a sacrifice for the sake of the people-"
"And what if we can't?" Sir Richard hastily asked without caution which made all others gasp at the rude interruption to the King's words , "I-i'm sorry my King, forgive my rude interruption" Sir Richard said.
"-if we can't, then we have no choice but to defend our people" King Gale answered, "What do you think commander Blair?".
All eyes lined in the direction of the commander who for some reason has a mask and a hood shielding the identity of the wearer, all the news gotten about this mysterious person dates back a year ago-
~The King was in mortal danger from the war as attempts on his life were made which persisted for months, Blair with a few group of companions singlehandedly ambushed and defeated the enemy.
The King out of gratitude granted a favor to Blair and the companions :"for saving my life and those of my comrades please name your price and it shall be given to you". All Blair's companions bowed down in respect and said in unison:"we want nothing more than to serve the King under our leader Blair". The King looked towards Blair "and what would your response be?" he asked.
"I only ask that my identity be kept a secret and I vow to protect you with my life" Blair responded with a firm thud on the chest ."if that pleases you, how would you see being a commander of my congregate of knights?" King Gale proposed.
"it'll be my pleasure my King" Blair finally bowed down in respect to the King.~
" I think we should send out someone who is capable of being tactful yet cunning to King Rodriguez because if my King were to go himself, who knows what could happen, it could be a trap" commander Blair finally spoke.
The King thought about what Blair had said and briefly had a discussion with Myst on his side of the suggestion. The King cleared his throat before speaking:" it has been decided, Commander Blair will represent the council, you will give a report of your deliberations with King Rodriguez", he handed Blair an envelope which was conjured by Myst and sealed by the King signet ring as a direct passage and full authority to represent the King in the neighboring kingdom.
