Elven Imperium wrote:
The Elven lords where still talking between themselves. They carried on for several minutes. Then The Grey Elf King turn to Francis. "You say we must unite, but what I see the Empire and Constannia paying the price to save your kingdom. What does the Imperium offer us for our sacrifice." The Elf lord said with out emotion. The Elf lord got many nods of approvals.
The Drow king sat in silence watching the whole event with slight amusement. Faylinor, the seat of Silver stood up and spoke. "How can you ask such a question. We are Elves not mercenaries for hire. We should help these people cause it the right thing to do." The king said proudly.
As the High Council looked to Francis for an answer and as Faylinor gave his response for his people, Francis again rose for one last time to answer.
"As I've been stating throughout this meeting, we need to help one another because if we don't then in the end all of the countries in the world will fall or be destroyed by Maximilian. However, I do see your point were that at least in the beginning of this war Constannia and your people will face the brunt of the troubles. And like in anything, you want to be compensated. Which is why I offer this to each Kingdom and Lord here today." As Francis paused, he looked over to the doors and motioned the Imperium sailors in. A group of 50 or so sailors came in with large heavy chests and proceeded to place 5 in-front of each lord. Within the chests were various arrangements of pure gold, silver, titanium, platinum, and other priceless and rare jewels. All of the chests bulged at their seems with these treasures. After the Imperium sailors left, Francis spoke again.
"Before each of you lie five full chests of the rarest materials on this planet for your personal wealth. Whether you want to admit it or not, my Imperium has the largest reserves and mines of gold, silver, platinum, titanium and other precious metals and rarities in this world, and that's fact. If you help my Imperium, we'd open up for mutual trading between all of our nations for our riches. Plus, we'd also help modernize your military with new weapons and armor. But as Faylinor said earlier, if any of you consider yourselves honorable and true, I wouldn't need to bring this in to try to win your support. I take my leave, whether you support me or not I could care less. In the end if we don't help one another then we'll all be dead or slaves to Maximilian." As he finished, Francis proceeded to bow to the High Council before he left the room. As he left the room, he stopped by the Drow King's seat before he left and spoke to him.
"The next time you want to try to kill me, do it on the first shot. The next time we meet and if you threaten Vera or Amirra or my family, I will kill you without any thought of recourse. And I don't miss." As he finished, Francis made sure to mentality insult the Drow King as he exited the room.........
