Chapter 46: Chapter 51: The Treaty of Ebonwood
In the wake of victory, the halls of Ebonwood's palace were abuzz with the drafting of a treaty that would seal the fate of two kingdoms. The war had ended, and with it came the promise of a lasting peace.
**The War Compensation**
As a token of war compensation, the kingdom of Anilstan agreed to cede five villages and two forests to Ebonwood. These lands, rich in resources and heritage, would now flourish under the benevolent rule of King Simha.
**The Decade of Peace**
A clause of non-aggression was etched into the treaty, binding both kingdoms to a decade of peace. For ten years, swords would remain sheathed, and children of both lands would grow up not knowing the ravages of war.
**The Trade Agreement**
Ebonwood's merchants were granted the right to trade within the borders of Anilstan at a nominal tax rate of **5%**, a gesture that would enrich both economies. Anilstan pledged to secure the safety of these traders, ensuring prosperity flowed like a river between them.
**The Royal Union**
But the heart of the treaty lay in the union of two souls. Princess Fardeena of Anilstan, a maiden of grace and wisdom, was betrothed to King Simha, the lion of Ebonwood. Their marriage would be a bridge between cultures, a bond stronger than any written accord.
**The Signing Ceremony**
With the terms agreed upon, the treaty was signed amidst a grand ceremony. The ink that flowed from their quills carried with it the hopes and dreams of countless generations to come.
**The Celebration**
The bells tolled, not in alarm, but in jubilation. The people of Ebonwood and the envoys of Anilstan celebrated together, their laughter and songs weaving a tapestry of newfound kinship.
**The Future Beckons**
As King Simha and Princess Fardeena stood side by side, their hands joined, the future seemed bright. Ebonwood had not only secured its borders but had opened its heart to a new ally, a new family.
And so, under the watchful eyes of the ancestors, the Kingdom of Ebonwood stepped boldly into a new era, its legacy forever entwined with the Leopard clan of Anilstan.
