"Sorry, I do not accept this deal," Gaven declined cleanly, "There's a dispute over your judgment of Weizemay Manor in Battle Valley as lost territory, please consult with Lord Ilmet. It has nothing to do with me."
Gaven stood up to see his guest out, "The Ghost Grape Wine Auction is imminent, and I have a pile of things to do, so I cannot entertain His Grace any longer. As I said before, if you are here to attend the auction, you are most welcome. If you have other intentions, then I am sorry."
Carter's words were equally resolute, "If Mr. Gaven does not wish to accept our agreement, we reserve the right to reclaim the territory, including the use of force. Please don't make a mistake."
If the soft approach does not work, they resort to the hard one.
It is the typical way of Sambia.
"I also have the right to protect my territory, including the use of force," Gaven replied calmly.
The barefoot are not afraid of the shod.
