[hr]

With the two bears making their way in, and with the other in the room being more skeptical, the King decided to focus on the poor sweet bears first. He smiled softly, and nodded as he looked over to them. He opened his arms out wide and smiled, [color=a187be]"Of course... Cedar will be safe soon enough, once this meeting concludes, you all including you both will leave, and begin a journey that will be talked of for ages. The first step is securing the safety of your brother from the ones who took him." [/color]

He noticed his old friend Jazdia reading, and not paying attention, and in that moment, he was thankful that he only had one voice skeptical at that moment. He was just staring at her tea for a moment, closing his eyes for a moment, and taking deep breath.

But Fredricus turned his head and sighed softly, [color=a187be]"At this point, Meche is an unknown, we have lost more than our typical ways of communication, and many of those we used within those borders are gone Yvonne. There are agents of revolution within our borders from Meche, there are riots and unrest in those lands, and if we do not sure them up, we will be attacked regardless. Their best warriors are likely fighting each other as their commanders, and nobles fight for what is left of the dwindling state. The rest is likely being swept up by those who wish to rule that don't have strong neighbors, or those neighbors wish to stay stagnant in their walls."[/color]

[color=a187be]"But, that is our known, that unrest has brought war and turmoil to Meche, and it is spreading into our lands. Right now to our knowledge, Meche is a cluster of groups fighting each other, and when they unify, they will look to expand their borders, their revolution, and force their will upon every righteous land around them. But I would rather not risk an all-out war if it can be avoided either diplomatically or with a small team that can unify those forces loyal to the old ways, and remove the agents of chaos in the countryside. If we can uphold the old ways there, we may not have another war that will bring ruin to as many lands as possible. My uncle will be along with you as well as several landed houses. Should treaties and rights need to be made, they can." [/color]

He took a deep breath, [color=a187be]"Uncle can figure out small details, and determine a route should it need to change. We determined likely holdouts based on known demographic areas, cities, villages, and trade hubs. We also have marked landholders, and titled houses and their known holdings. We know two revolutionary holdings that will likely be hard to dodge but are smaller waystations. Maybe a hundred men each, so it should be easy to traverse, but deeper in is unknown. Also most of the revolutionaries will be from lower classes, those who might be tradesmen or business owners are likely those in the head of the areas militias and soldieries. But worry about those in our lands first, information is what we lack, and your mission will likely become simpler as time progresses. Information will be key, and any knowledge we learn is crucial." [/color]

[color=a187be]"For those within the empire, killing heads of state, heads of the revolution, getting through life, honor, and any guard will be hard, and risky. I will likely not turn out well for most who try, but I have faith that planning, and innovation throughout your comrades will see you through. But, your mission must be successful in some way, gain allies, or disorganize local militants. I would rather not have too much bloodshed on our hands, I would rather our cause be that of peace, and brokering one in their lands. We want to secure those borders before anything else happens. But, that means possibly securing our neighbors. Use peace, that is Uncles trade. Use your own voices, and words. But... should violence be needed, do not be afraid to use it. But, if all goes well, there will be two armies that can control rioting, and calm the subjects of Meche without need for bloodshed. It will not be a suicide mission, more of a forceful envoy."
