Quoted By:
“I was invited by Lord Blackmoore to talk about trade and potential closer cooperation between Alterac and Durnholde. With Durnholde being one of my close neighbours, it would make sense for us to have some sort of a relationship.” You said to Tirion Fordring.
“Did you succeed in making a trade deal or what was the end result?” Tirion Fordring asked you.
“No, we didn’t agree on trade, but as I am here, we clearly did manage to form a relationship of some sort.” You said and shrugged a bit before continuing. “Of course inviting me did coincide with the tournament, but won’t events like these make a good chance to have a good impression on your visitors?
“I guess you are right Prince Alric.” Tirion Fordring said and continued making notes. “I don’t have any more questions.”
“Then we call Lord Blackmoore back for more questions as we now have a better idea of what has happened.” Lord Uther said and gave a nod to you.
You returned the nod and walked back to where you had been standing previously as Blackmoore stepped forward to answer more questions. The paladins asked him about the security of the Internment Camps and how the funds and the budget has been used previously. You were quite happy that the paladins hadn’t asked you about any military help to Durnholde nor Blackmoore said anything about the deal between you and him.
As it seemed that the paladins were stopping, next it was King Terenas himself who spoke to Blackmoore. When the old King leaned forward, everyone in the chamber started to listen more closely.
“It was bad enough that you thought it a good idea to train an orc to fight in gladiatorial combat.” King Terenas began. “But to train it in military strategy, to teach it to read, to write…I must ask Lieutenant General…what in the Light’s name were you thinking?”
It felt like Blackmoore seemed to physically diminish right in front of his eyes. Blackmoore had avoided the questions from King Terenas before this and while he was growing older, his voice commanded respect and when he spoke in situations like this, every word had weight behind them.
