"Your most noble and gracious majesty," said Sterling rising from his seat, snapping Princess Diana a military salute. "I am deeply honored to be in your presence, and overjoyed that you are able to join us is at this time!"
The Dark Elf remained standinng until the Princess took her seat, "My men and I have indeed made a generous offer to defend your city--the terms of which are simple! I ask only for 15 silver per soldier, supplies, a letter of commission, and a royal pardon for all Outworlders who decide to join my army in battle! In exchange; my men and I will cripple Venger's army and, once we've won the war, give your kingdom an extra month of peacekeeping duties to protect your borders from any Orcs that refuse to leave your kingdom alone while you are rebuilding."
Looking at everyone gathered, the Swordsman said, "However, your councilors were just about to vote on this very issue when you arrrived, your highness."
