Though naturally you are wary, because of the nature of this organization. Founded out of the defunct monarchy and loyalists of southern Dalmace, many centuries passed when that whole region was an entire separate country, defeated in a bloody war and incorporated into Dalmace proper. Ever since then, the Blue Veil (named for the color of their ancestral banners) have operated from the shadows in different ways and with different goals. Originally they had been a troublesome resistance looking to restore their country and gain independence, in recent times they seem to have accepted the primacy of Dalmace yet want participation in the governance because of their original status as rulers. All of this you know, you can only say that it seems to be the case because in truth you know very little of these people. Only rumors and old stories, cautionary tales for the nobility about secret plots and hidden loyalties, of finding out after one's wedding that their spouse is a member of the society.
So while you're inclined to accept help from wherever you may find it it, this time you're more than a little wary. But therein lies the difficult challenge of what sort of a response you care to make. Either bring them into the fold and try to resolve this old conflict for good, or to reject them and attempt to hunt them down once and for all where your predecessors failed. Because either way the one thing you don't want if you become Queen, is for this same trouble to continue to be propagated forever. Well it's something to think about in any case, whether or not Emelie allows this society member to leave with their life. For tomorrow your guests will be leaving back to their own counties, and after that you'll return home to your palace with all of Troweil fully and officially under your control.
>Part ways with your guests but maintain correspondence, because you have plans in mind now that you have their support.
>Everyone should return home, but begin mustering troops. You're close to a diplomatic solution, but honestly this entire situation could be resolved so much more quickly with an army behind you.
>Leave on good terms, but keep to yourself when returning home. Take awhile to observe your guests and see where their loyalties may truly lie.
>Something else?
