“Rae Et?” Trey asked, though he already knew the answer. Pelmon did not reply. “They want Ching’s head, in exchange for peace?”

“It seems a small price, especially given the charges he faces.”

“He has not been found guilty,” Trey countered.

“He will be.” Pelmon’s voice oozed with confidence.

Trey frowned. “Lok Dei and Fet Ri represent the Belaar, not Rae Et, what authority does she claim in making this offer?”

Rae Et is extending this offer because it is better for both of us that our lands co-exist in peace. A war with the newly augmented secessionist territories can be easily lost. Let us work toward this compromise as a last chance for peace.”

“This offer will have to be put before the Council and the First Ministers.”

“Trey, I thought you were more circumspect than that,” Pelmon chastised. “It is not yet time to put such an offer to them. With emotions running high after Zara’s near fatal accident, we must lay the ground work for this arrangement carefully.”
