Chapter 316: Chapter 308

"I do apologize for the unseemly display, but as you know, disrespect for the Heavenly Host isn't tolerated." Cain says cheerfully, escorting the shocked High Priestess back to her own castle. 

"Yes, of course, that's very much the motto we live by. Tell me Ambassador, were you chosen because of your ties to the Heavenly Host?"

Cain gives a noncommittal shrug. "I can't speak to the motivations of King James, he simply said that I might be the most suitable to peacefully ensure that the treaty issues were resolved."

"The previous treaty, signed by my predecessor is exploitative at the very best. The quotas require that we sell even in the most desperate of times and well below market value, with a significant markup for the goods received in exchange. It's only natural that I would want fair treatment." High Priestess Lunarra declares.
