I looked at the princess and the Queen of the Bloodbound clan. "Yes, that was a little one." I said
The look on her face made me raise an eyebrow. "Forgive my daughter she is the youngest member of the clan." Queen Bloodbound said.
"It's the inbreeding." Princess Lori shrugs. "It's also the issue that causes the mental defects in our clan."
"Lori." Her mother said.
"What?" She asked. "I got my hands on the old case files! All but five of the first-gen of Bloodbound were related as they were the kids of Hector Blood. He mated and had 5 kids with his own daughter multiple times over…" She shivers. "Why do you think I was so adamant about spending time with the other clans? I wanted to get out of that spiral." She turns to Logan. "Speaking of which I was actually coming to see if you would allow me to come and stay with the northern clan for both diplomatic purposes but also to see if I can find any potential mates, King Logan."
Logan rubs his forehead as he looked at my father who looked at Queen Bloodbound. Who in turn looked at me. "Well." I said looking at Logan to Lori then back to Logan. "It can't hurt could it?" I asked them.
"She has a point." Dad said.
"As long as there's an understanding that the bloodborne rules and the northern rules are different." Logan said as he digs into the drawer as his desk pulling out a small stake of pages. "This is a list of the northern laws and customs I would suggest you memorize it. You may come and stay after the damned tournament." Logan's said.
Lori took the pages from him. "Well, I would hope that you guys were not like our clan. Those this is a good idea to have a condensed list like this."
"They haven't changed much in a couple of hundred years." Logan said looking at the Wayward King. "So it surprises me that your nephew didn't know our ways considering I gave ambassador one of these prior to the clan almost Clan incident that word Philip started."
King Reiner just looked at us angrily. "And why should my clan follow your rules?"
I think everyone's head hit their palms as we look at him. "Are you saying that just because our laws may be different or worded differently and our customs are different is that we do not deserve the same respect you too?" I asked him. "Because your entire Clan if that is the case is about this close." I said measuring a small distance with my fingers. "To starting not only a clan incident, several Duels of Honor, a possible war between not only your parent Clan but the rest of us as well. We have the tournament system set up for a reason. But it seems that you and yours do not understand it. While the northern Clan Has Not participated in the tournament and years it was not due to the fact that we were unable. It was due to the fact we were trying to fix ourselves." I glared at him.
"Why on Earth are you acting like a child?" My uncle asked him.
"You dare." He started.
"Reiner." Queen blood-bound spoke up. "May I remind you that the banishment that was placed on your family can be undone and then have you beheaded for the crimes of your father."
The look on his face was kind of funny. With that, he turned and walked out. Slamming the door behind them.
"Well, that's one testosterone male dealt with." Lori said that she smiles at us.
"And the other testosterone male is your father." Her mother said laughing as she opens the window. "I give you all a day's blessing and I will see you in two weeks." She said and then disappeared.
"Well." Lori said if she looked at us. "Other than reading over these is there anything else I should prepare myself for?" She asked.
"I would recommend warmer closing." I tell her I was just walk up to her and pulling her short sleeve. Tonight is rather warm but most nights get extremely cold. we would not want you freezing. If you cannot find anything because I know you guys are at the southern end of our region we can make a combination."
"Oh yes yes, I definitely understand that." She said with a nod. "So I read this, bring warm clothes. Anything else?"
"Be ready to learn how to wield a sword." Logan said as he rummaged through his desk. Before handing her another sheet of paper. "This is an application for Knights who wish to learn the sword art of the other clans. If anything this will make it easier to find you when dealing with the northern people." He said passing her the application.
"I've heard as he is. It's been a couple of hundred years since anyone's actually done one. Is the North still accepting these?" She asked us.
"We never stopped." Dad said from his spot in the corner. "I know we could have a lot of ties after the incident with Phillip but that was mainly to keep more incidents from happening with Philip."
"Do you have any more of these? I know a couple of nights from my clan who has been wanting to come and learn from the Northern plan but because of the diplomatic silence we weren't sure what way we were going with these."
He passed her a few more of them. "I will pass these out and make sure that they read this as well." She said shaking the papers. "Thank you." She walked over to the window and also disappeared.
"Well, that was definitely not what I was expecting tonight." I said sitting down a little hard in my chair.
"I don't think any of us expected King dick head to show up." Queen Nightshade said as she picks up her now cold Goblet of blood. "Although Princess Lori brings up a good point there's a lot of inbreeding in several of the clans."
"Hopefully not as bad as that." I said looking at her. "You know I never thought we'd actually agree on something."
"Oh, there'll be things that we agree on. However, there are a lot of things we still butt heads over."
"Indeed." I said as she stood up.
" I've overstayed my welcome. I will head home and I will see you all in two weeks." She said nodding before she walks out of the room.
"Well, this is definitely not what I thought was going to happen." Logan said sitting next to me.
Father shut the window. "We all forget that air users love to listen in on people's conversations."
