Balch swallowed, paused, and then addressed Sequara. “As far as Caergilion is concerned, tell that bastard Malruan that, if he’s willing to beg for Adanon’s help, I’ll consider it. We’ll need some incentives, you understand. A treaty recognizing the true boundary between our kingdoms and Adanon’s right to settle the border region would be a start. I make no promises, but it might be worth it for the pleasure of seeing Malruan come on his knees. If he is to accompany you, Lady Sequara, Duke Anarad will bear testimony to my wishes and bring Malruan’s reply to me.”
