We happened to meet in circumstances rather unfair to you, and while I understand the anger derived from said event together with -his- rejection, I can only implore you not to cut this transmission yet.
Nobody denies it, his personal life and the way he reached the Council led him to make more enemies than allies, despite the fact he knew what he was facing. I cannot consider him a clueless bastard, but somebody who lost his senses over the course of this war, and for that reason a few of us have deemed him as unfit for his current role.
Considering you had an understanding him and vice versa, I contacted you in order to propose a deal. You would do with him what you deem more convenient, submit him to the Royal authorities, execute him yourself, whatever.
In exchange, amnesty within your dominion. But I'll get to elaborate that further should you accept my proposal.
I've never expected to receive such an unusual request, and that from a person like you. You really must have your reasons to accept throwing away everything you worked for in the past.
However, why would I believe you? Especially after I nearly died thanks to you-know-who. I'll accept your proposal if you're able to give me a valid reason to trust you. I can't be tricked so easily. Be warned.
Considering you have been at our mercy in the past and that we honored our word when we earned what we wanted from you by letting you return back home, I don't think I have hardly given you a reason to distrust what I said in this transmission.
He's been dropped somewhere down the hill you reign from. Send your people to search for him, retrieve him, or whatever you please. In return, I would expect the Duchess not lowering herself to the 'filth' that she pretty much despises by not honoring her side of the deal.
You impress me, really, even though I hate to admit it. I'll have my soldiers retrieve him so that he can be locked away while I decide about his future, however, that shouldn't be your concern.
Regarding the reward you desire, it needs to be discussed in detail and in person, because things like that shouldn't be talked about over the comm channels. I'm sure you know the location of my residence, I expect you there as soon as possible.
