Somewhere in the south, past the territory of the Borderlands…
"We meet again, Minister Blackthorne," Druvis III, the High King of the Aurelion Empire, said with a smile. "I believe you are here to tell me some good news, yes?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Edmund Blackthorne, one of the ministers of the Kingdom of Britannia, replied. "The King has agreed to proceed with your plan on the condition that we split the Borderlands in half."
"Of course." King Druvis nodded.
"However, the split you proposed doesn't sit well with His Majesty," Edmund stated. "You proposed that we attack the Borderlands in a pincer attack. Yet, you insist on claiming the whole of Eden if we won the war. His Majesty wishes to alter the conditions of our agreement."
Druvis frowned in response, but still asked the Minister to continue whatever he was planning to say.
"The proposal is this," Edmund declared. "We will split the Borderlands equally in half and have joint governance over Eden."
