Thanks and all that

Hello Anna

Nice of you to notify me. But yes, the Unioners are not exactly the best when it comes to intelligent people in their leadership. From what I heard though, their relationship with Krüger is pretty much open by now. Not that I can really blame them, with the amount of enemies they are making since their declaration of war towards me. Not the Bundschuh, me. They really do honor me by making me a nation, don't they?

In any case, I seem to recall that we're still fighting for liberty. And that includes freedom of choice, I'm afraid. Enslaving them, even if they disagree with our standpoint, wouldn't be exactly what we intend to do... So I'll just take this as a joke of yours.
What I would be curious about though is what you asked of them, considering they've ignored my demands and apparently agreed to yours. Remember that we're in this together, and that this is not about the Hessians, but about the future of the Revolution as a whole. Any and all talks about peace need to be conducted with the knowledge and approval of anyone involved, and I am not ready to lay down arms if they refuse to even one of our demands. They're a problem, a much bigger one than the Military is - at least to the Bundschuh. So yes, we can and will spare some people for that meeting. Give me date, time and location and I'll make sure that there's an ambush in place, in case we get into trouble. I'd offer Ostara as a meeting place, but that's hardly possible with it operating in the deep Sigmas right now.

Privately though... I think I'll have a request for you in the near future. Might need some of your political gravitas, or at least what's left of it after Reutlingen.

Hope to see you soon and in one piece
Nika.
