Sejuani howled with laughter at his words as she leaned herself into the back of Bristle. “Oh how amusing! Of course only the weak would speak of peace and tranquility like a fool. People have fought each other since time immemorial for everything, from basic human rights, to lofty ideals like ‘justice’ and ‘strength’. For as long as humanity exists, so too shall war, mark my words Prince.
However, I’m both insulted and flattered at your words. Flattered, in that you hold me in such high regard that you would be threatened by me in battle. To wage battle with Demacia would be great indeed, but in this I am insulted. I already wage war with the Avarosa, and to split into two wars on two fronts would be a fools errand. I may be strong, but if I fight carelessly I will end my own life before showing the full strength of the Winters Claw.
Though to die in battle would be a great honor, Your Highness, please understand that I have my people to raise as well. In addition, the Freljord also has an Ice Witch problem as well.
The Winters Claw doesn’t want to meddle in the affairs of the outside world at this time…And in return we ask you to also do the same. Leave us to wage our war just as you wage your own. I do not wish to split my forces in every direction, but let it be know that if you make an enemy of us we will bring the might of the Freljord down upon you.”
Jarvan frowned. He had hoped that she would at least listen to him - to some degree, if not entirely. He represented the Kingdom of Demacia, after all, and surely, all knew it was a city-state with immense power that few could even dream of, let alone dare imagine opposing. Instead, he found himself faced with a stone wall that refused to listen to even his opening statement.
How disappointing indeed, even if the results were precisely what he had hoped for - a truce, of sorts, for the time being.
“That is precisely why we have come,” Jarvan smiled graciously. “We have heard of the disputes to the north, of course, and thought now would be a perfect opportunity to speak to you and warn you, of course. Raiding from our people will do nothing but call the fury of our army against you, and just as you said before - fighting from two fronts will do nothing but ensure your defeat.”
He gestured for his people to gather. She was forced into a truce now, and for the short-term, that would serve them well enough.
“It was a pleasure making your acquaintance.”
