"And that is exactly why we have freedom of action, ambassador." voiced the Lord Protector in response to Conolly. He shifted his gaze from the mess of documents the woman threw on her table, probably dossiers on the countries she mentioned. One of them already made their way to Halnish' hands, who also stood up and made his way over to the delegation from Taeunas.
The Lord Protector looked Conolly squarely in the eyes, as he told her "I am aware your government has a low opinion on the foreign policy of Adwest for a long time now, but I must profess I find it insulting you take us for a group of crass fools. Not all those in power will seek the shortest route to gain more, even if it is the goal."
Halnish caught this and shifted his eyes from the dossier on Soyabar to the sight of Gore-Culross. It was a thinly-veiled remark against the Adwestene high nobility, of which he was one of the leading figures.
Ignoring his fellow, the Lord Protector continued. "The application of military force in order to achieve our desired ends is inevitable yes, but we could do it in a way that does not give these foreign powers an easy avenue to simply waltz in. The governments of Sindar-Astrasia and Falsea have been complacent to live an insulated existence, and so has Cynas to an extent. We can do away with them without necessarily having to appear so bluntly as aggressors."
The Adwestene thought for a moment, before saying a final remark. "And if foreign powers still find their way somehow in the region, then we'll blow them off the coasts. I hope Taeunas isn't afraid of that prospect?"
