You agree to be taken to Great Lord Tata for negotiations. You then, despite the misgivings of commanders and soldiers alike, take a small bodyguard detail and follow the lone Cataphract back to his camp.
The Parsians give you unhappy looks, some of them death glares, but no one dares raise a hand at you. You are finally taken before Grand Lord Tata, who is tall, broad in shoulders, has cold blue eyes and impressive, triangular black beard; this with his olive skin and red-black robe give him look of a demon of old lore.
"Welcome, Houlandin II, King of Luathbas, Thorn in the Foot of Parsia, slayer of Lord Amar. For once you have listened to reason." He invites you to drink something from a small metallic cup, but, wary of what you learned about the negotiations with Parsians, decline.
"Ha! Wise choice. Let's begin the talks, then." He sits himself on the carpet and you sit as well. Between you, there's a low table on top of which there's naught but vellum and charcoals.
You two debate about the possible settlement of the dispute, the needs of both countries, the legal and traditional claims to the land. It takes an hour before you two manage to reach some sort of mutual understanding. Finally, you offer the Parsian Grand Lord, and in extension, his King, an offer of...
A) Passing the ownership of Augas back to Parsia, but after five more years of it being in Luathbas' control.
B) Passing the ownership of Augas back to Parsia, but after fifteen more years of it being in Luathbas' control.
C) Sharing the ownership of Augas, and splitting the tax revenues; one year they will land in Parsian treasury, second in yours.
D) Giving Augas' revenues to Parsian treasury for five years, before the province would be incorporated into Luathbas fully.
