>>5805007>>’’I promise uncle’’ you could ill afford this, suspicion was in your gut that it would look poorly on you, however you knew your half-kin would not be as unwilling, their coin was bountiful, yours was not and words were wind in the face of that malignant fact. [Cynic+lie]I would add a caveat like "I promise Uncle I will not draw my axe against them." or something like that. Be a bit creative with the wording and then beat their heads in with our hands!
A few reasons Lord Celtigar could have for pre-emptively forcing peace. Maybe to show a strong front against the other Crownlands houses which are here, or maybe as theorised by Alyn to pre-emptively protect the false heirs from being beaten when they are fast-tracked to knighthood?
