Part of that deal was a marriage between you, the heir of Caldun and the eldest daughter of the king of Alson. You met for the first time last night at the wedding, and have just woken up to your first day as husband and wife. Caldun has a tradition: the night after a royal wedding, the heads of the Nobel houses meet at the palace to give gifts, wish the new couple well, and meet the future queen. The politics of Caldun are complicated: the king can act on his own authority, but the Nobel parliament(consisting of a representative of each noble house)can override any decision the king makes.

The parliament approved the peace treaty, barely. Whether the peace will hold, and what comes next are up to you
