Elder Montezzi,

Your exploits have proved intriguing. I must say the number of people out for your blood is astonishing and catches my ,currently, benevolent draconic attention. Even more so, you are a Blackguard of some sort- wonderful. You may be a Prince among mere men and I accept that, but it is time that you realize the draconic as your rightful king. I will allow you to kneel before me and give payment; of course you can respectfully decline but know if you do that you shall certainly join the master that grants you gifts very soon. If you are to accept, I shall make sure you rule the Lower region under me for quite some time. I am your superior quite simply put. Ah, as an addendum to my proposition, your filth brother may present me with a fitting gift for him to regain favor in my eyes. I most eagerly await your undoubtedly pleasant reply.

Vente Aerth

Vente Aerth,

Let us speak of these matters and more in person within my fortress. Come at your leisure.

Prince Rinaldo Montezzi

Elder Montezzi,

I will take your amusing actions of "marking" death as your official decline to my offer. I would say that is sad, but truly, I could care less about your small proclamations. Send your best assassins when you get the chance; once I have bested them, I shall be sure to repay the kind favor with a more efficient method. I shall be seeing you soon, Elder Montezzi. Oh, I would care to know- Would you like your brothers head delivered on a pike or in a basket? That is all.

~Vente Aerth~

P.S. Actually, to think that I was going to walk into -my- realm to give you the chance to bow and in all honesty, you were going to treat me with the utmost disrespect. Now if you wish to accept, you will pay homage to me and my draconic master. 3000 gold should do it -- for a start.
