Alexander's swift explanation for meeting the Heeat family first was fortunately bought by Lady Miranda hook, line, and sink, as she appeared very excited by the promise of the treaty.
A guarantee of ten years of peace was too precious to her.

Alexander's flattering comment appeared to make Lady Miranda's face notably glow up and caused her to break off into a large, almost sarcastic grin-
"Mmmm, I also do not find it wise to go against such a 'powerful' man. I will leave the talks with you, my lord."
