You personally agree to the plan and have him talk details with your trade advisor.
Your trade advisor comes after the talks are finished. This treaty won't bring much in terms of wealth to Luathbas, albeit the splendid luxuries and new fancy inventions will surely help placate the moody commoners and nobles alike.

There has been riots in the northeast!
Apparently, the Sect of One gathered for a public preaching of their faith in the city of Kend, which of course brought the attention of the Pantheon priests. However, things escalated quickly and the Oneists, armed with tools and bricks, fought against a band of militant Pantheists and some city guards.
There has been forty casualties. The governors of the northeastern cities demand that the Crown brands the Sect of One as illegal.
A) Yea, they're only making things worse.
B) Naw. Also obviously it's fault of Pantheonist zealots.
C) Naw, demand that both cults work out some compromise, or else.
