You have the Gubta emissary invited to the palace.
855 AD, Mid-Autumn
A gaudily clad man arrives, wearing silks and linen of pink, yellow, green and white color. There is also another man, younger and thinner than him, wearing only white linen.
Both bow before you and the fat man in fancy clothes begins to speak, while the other translates for you live.
"My master, Duran Amhal Kuskus Lotusjoos, brings you the warmest greetings from the Emperor, blessed be his hallowed name. We are here to present you with opportunity to renew trade with the Gubta Empire, as our Emperor, blessed be his hallowed name, is in dire need for the cheap yet abundant mineral resources that cam from your Kingdom in the days of his grandfather. Therefore, my Master is willing to go at once and speak to your advisors of trade and coinage so that a favorable trading agreement can be reached. My Master also says that the Emperor, blessed be his hallowed name, is hoping that this agreement would be first step to closer ties between our nations, so that once the barbarian Parsians stop yet another bout of in-fighting, we can easily repel their aggression toward our borders."
A) Agree to the trade agreement but adamantly refuse any further and closer ties between the two nations.
B) Reject the trade agreement and order that the emissary be escorted eastwards.
C) Agree to the trade agreement and express hope that indeed, later on, Luathbas and Gubta can become friends and even allies.
