Marwood shook his head at that. "Alvin I have to press this once again, let us detour through Renais. I have traveled the backroads and old passes, if we move through them we can avoid fighting. If we pass though your own country with it's larger cities we risk more peoples homes, more deaths, and more time." He sighed bring his horse to canter alongside him. "Renais is very sparsely populated, the villages we would pass would only think it was me out riding the country side." He looked at them all.

"Your face is not well known in my country, we could play you off as a mercenary for Carcino. Sion does not know I was here more importantly traveling through Grado put us in all the more danger." He looked at the others with them. "I ask that you let me guide you through to Frelia, we could arrive a day or two sooner and Sion would not risk invading Renais and then Frelia. His forces are strong but not strong enough to face down two countries one after another. My mother would see Renais safe as would my brother." He smiled at Alvin. 

Then Marwood shuddered and looked down towards his saddle bags. "Beside's, my mother would offer to marry me to princess Rafeala before war would happen." He shivered again just saying those word. "Sion would obviously agree to it... After all it would mean Renais was his ally and his daughter would be happy... Though I may just jump to my death off the cliffs of Frelia if that happens." He said in sad voice. "Still, Renais will be okay. Your a brother to me Alvin, please let me take you though the safety of my own homeland a place where you can relax. We don't need to travel though Grado stirring up battles, a lot of innocents will get hurt and the cities could be destroyed." He stated, he thought to mention Alvin's father but he would wait to hear his reaction first.
