You ask the Treasurer to quickly provide the troops with supplies and equipment while a letter is written and sent to Duke of Tven, demanding some military force to be provided for you.

A week later, a force of over two thousand horsemen rides forth to your palace, their leading officer holding the banner of Tven Duchy. He also brought you a letter, in which the Duke mentions that he heard of the troubles in the west and have been preparing his troops for just that kind of occassion.
His horsemen escort the supplies and equipment to the frontline with haste.
883 AD, Late Summer
There is a report from the Army commanders in the west; the supplies and Tven horsemen were joyfully welcomed by your troops, and they arrived in just right time to deal with the third Adila horde that tried their chances, and these nomads were soundly defeated.
883 AD, Autumn
The Army reports that the Adila changed their tactics; no longer moving in large hordes, they instead took into ravaging and pillaging of the countryside with cavalry units about hundred or two strong. The commanders say its hard to keep them in check but the Tven horsemen are trying their best.
There's also a shift in religious balance; your aunt, Queen Sela, have publicly announced that the Sect of One is free to preach about and worship their united God in the combined borders of Dahnia and Ruz. Reportedly already hundreds of Sectarians fled Luathbas.
There's also a rumor that the Sect might be going strong amongst the Tven population as well.
"Don't they have their own sectarian version of our Pantheon?" You ask, learned in books of the religion.
"Yes, but it never had any say in politics, unlike our clergy did for centuries in Luathbas, which is why Queen Sela could do what she did without repercussions." Explains the advisor.
There's nothing to do here about it, of course - but the Luathbas Pantheonists might soon say a word or three about this whole sectarianism going strong across the northern border.
883 AD, Mid-Autumn
A tunnel collapse occured at the gold mines in north west! The manager says the damage is severe and even with help of few passing dwarves, they might've problems reaching the usual amount of profits.
Sad report comes from Kingdom of Kiwi just few days later; your niece Sela died of complications after birth of Beren's youngest child, a boy he named Daedrin.
A day later your vassal Beren sends a letter in which he politely inquires whether he can have the allowance to marry your other niece, Ciri, to ensure that his fledging Kingdom (and fledging dynasty) has enough royals in case of crisis.
A) Naw, he shouldn't be that greedy.
B) Sure, since he asked nicely.
C) He should ask Ciri instead.
