Capítulo 13: A Twist of Fate
Lord Dominion and Marquess Colin sat in the main room which was in the left wing of the house.
They sat on tall, heavy seats made of the highest steel grade and the best of animal skins available in Scotland.
With a short glass table in the middle of the room, the Lord and Marquess sat opposite each other drinking the finest whiskey from quality glass tumblers with gold intricacies along the edges.
And they discussed as noble men did.
......
"But how would this system of checks and balances work in practice?" Lord Colin asked, still sounding skeptical. "What measures would be put in place to ensure that the clans comply with the terms of the agreement?"
"I believe that we can create a system of regular audits, in which representatives from both the monarchy and the clans would review the terms of the agreement and assess whether or not they are being met," Lord Dominion explained. "This would allow for any concerns or violations to be brought to light, and allow for appropriate action to be taken if necessary. What do you think?"
Lord Colin considered Lord Dominion's proposal, and after a moment, he said, "It's an interesting idea, but I'm still not convinced that it would be enough to ensure compliance. What if the clans resist these audits? What if they refuse to cooperate or attempt to circumvent the system? I worry that it could lead to more conflict, rather than less."
"I understand your concerns," Lord Dominion replied. "But I believe that the benefits of creating a system of checks and balances outweigh the risks. If we don't try to implement such a system, we risk creating a situation where neither side trusts or respects the other, and the conflict continues to fester. I think it's worth the risk to try and establish a more peaceful future for our country. Don't you agree?"
Lord Colin hesitated for a moment, then said, "You have a point. I still have some reservations, but I can see the potential benefit of your proposal. I think we should discuss it further with other members of the court. What do you think?"
"I agree," Lord Dominion said. "We should get input from all stakeholders, so that we can create a system that is fair and effective. The input of the nobles, the clans, and the common people will all be vital to the success of this plan. I think we should form a committee to explore the details of the proposal, and ensure that we have input from all sides. If everyone has a voice in the process, we can create a system that has the best chance of success. Do you think that's a good idea?"
Lord Colin nodded. "I do," he said. "And I have another suggestion - we should also consider involving the clergy in this process. The Church has a strong influence on the people of our kingdom, and they could help to ensure that the plan is accepted and respected by the people."
"That's an excellent idea," Lord Dominion agreed. "I hadn't thought of that, but I think it could be very beneficial. The Church has always played a role in our society, and involving them in this process could help to ensure that it is accepted by all. Do you have any ideas for how we could involve the Church?"
"I think we should invite the Archbishop of Canterbury to be part of the committee," Lord Colin suggested. "He is the spiritual leader of our country, and I believe that his input would be invaluable. What do you think?"
"I think that's an excellent suggestion."
