😏My Kahn, another envoy from the Katiji is requesting an audience.
[Saaga]
😠Tell them my answer hasn’t changed, we can’t spare a single soldier to help them.
[Guard 1]
😏I told her, your grace. But she’s proven quite-

[Shoja]
😠Let me through you horse#&@%!$!!
[Shoja]
😠I need to talk to her! Where is she!?
[Saaga]
😠Um…
[Saaga]
😠Over here.
[Shoja]
😏Kahn Saaga, it’s an honor to make your acquaintance.
[Saaga]
😠Likewise.
[Saaga]
😏And to whom do I owe the pleasure of having my tent barged into?
[Shoja]
😏General Shoja Laboea of Katiya City. I come on behalf of the Katiji Kingdoms to ask-
[Saaga]
😟Look, I know what you’ve come to ask, and you know my answer.
[Saaga]
😟The Isa are sorry to hear of your plight but I can’t sacrifice two years of peace to send my people to die on the mainland.
[Shoja]
😟But we’re being slaughtered! Everything east of Katiya has been overrun by Touga crusaders.
[Shoja]
😟We flee the cities just to be captured by raiders and pirates. We can’t feed the refugees!
[Shoja]
😟Please I’m begging you!
[Saaga]
😟I’m sympathetic to your plight. Banners bearing the dragon god have shown up on my own shores and carried off my own people.
[Saaga]
😠But my mind is made up. Please leave, my guards will accompany you.
[Shoja]
🙁…
[Shoja]
😟You heard what happened to your father, the Lord Mayor of the Hyuga?
[Saaga]
😠My birth father.
[Shoja]
😏Your birth father and your elder brother-
[Saaga]
😠Half brother.
[Shoja]
😏-half brother are dead. It’s said your younger brot-
[Saaga]
😟Half brother had them killed to seize power. The lands across the channel are in chaos.
[Saaga]
😠What of it?
[Shoja]
😏You have a stronger claim than him, even if you’re a bastard. If you can defeat him in the field, the city is yours!
[Shoja]
😏You’ve brought an unprecedented peace to this island, why let it stop here?
[Saaga]
😟…
[Shoja]
😟And if you do, you’ll have the full support of my people — but first, we need your help.
[Saaga]
😟I could- No, I can’t put my people at risk, I’m sorry.
[Shoja]
😏By right the Hyuga are your people. And mine could be too, if you aided them. Peace is possible.
[Saaga]
😟…
[Shoja]
😟Please.
[Saaga]
😟I’ll call a council. You’ll have an answer in the morning.
[Shoja]
😏Thank-you, my Kahn.
[Saaga]
😟Don’t thank me yet…
