"Is it that bad?" Arthur couldn't help but ask after a few minutes of silence with Alex still in deep thought.

Defeat him in combat and the proxy would be easy picking. As I said, Aragon has long since waited for an opportunity to stop the constant killings. If you offer them this, they will surely aid you."
"Hah, thanks. I need to go now." Alex said as he got to his feet.
