When the news of Wamos's defeat fell into Darzen's years he was livid.
"That idiot, how could he win such a winning battle" this made the situation very much worse for him. But he knew he couldn't just sit and regret what was already done. He knew a smart king always looks in the future instead of past. So he gathered his men and made his towards Gellnor as it was the last line if defence and he had to save it at all cost. He met with Karma and with the two of them togather. The city became impregnable.
Lenin decides to siege the city from a distance but he wasn't so sure about attacking just yet. As he considers the position of his men and ofcourse the previous devastating lose. After a week of waiting he finally makes the decision. As his uncle was still recovering he puts Banshee incharge. He then makes his way towards House Frega.
Upon reaching he sees a huge castle. There he is welcomed by Angus Frega the oldest daughter of House Frega. Calling her beautiful would be an understatement. She had this mature elegant aura to her. Even Lenin was enchanted by her beauty for a second.
She escorts him to the throne room. And there he was Horis Frega. A fat and amiable man but don't be fooled by his kind and carefree attitude. Afterall he is the strongest and richest man in the entire continent. The house was so powerful infact that they even had a arch mage.
Arch Mages were very rare even among wizards. So rare infact that there are only 6 known Arch Mages and the last one was formed 40 years ago.
Horis greets Lenin,
"Prince Lenin. Such a pleasure to see you"
"It's actually king now"
"Hahahaha, King you say. Good for you.
So what brings you here I thought you were busy with Darzen"
Lenin is hesitant at first then replies
" I am here regarding that matter. I have an offer for you. An alliance."
"An alliance you say. Now what need do I have to make an alliance with you?"
"Well we are winning the war an—"
Horis cuts him off,"Winning. not won yet and as I recall they still have Gellnor and Karma leading the army. So what's stopping me from killing you and just side with the Gramwis" Horis say while looking directly at Lenin. He isn't smiling.
Lenin's calm "But you won't. King Horis you are a smart man. You know how the tides will shift and if you side with me victory will be certain. Now it's all up for you to decide"
There's silence
After a while he replies, " please rest in your chamber. I need some time to think"
The next day, the King announces his decision,
"I will agree to come into an alliance with you.... But only if you decide to marry my oldest daughter Angus"
Lenin is stunded when he hears his words. But agrees to this arrangement. Afterall who would refuse to marry such an angel furthermore getting the support of House Frega
