The High Paladin was slightly insulted by Sirea's words, he did not show it though. He was used to be offended by diplomats from other states, and decided to clear the doubt.

"Mademoiselle, Hammerstar has long put the cultural heritage of its neighbors at its highest priority. We too know that we must first understand the way of life in other countries before pressing on to the cold hard deals. Trade is more than just hard numbers and we assure you that what we wanted to do is to know about your country." Responded Dietrich, "so please, we would still want to know about your nation, even though it'll mean costing us a couple of minutes of conversation. It is just that judging from the recent statement made by one of your delegates, we could assume that you wanted this meeting to be as professional and succinct as possible. Since you claimed otherwise, we are happy to slow things down."

Millicence saw that Erinor was indeed keen to introduce its culture as fast as possible, and was quite happy about the fact. With a large smile she spoke with the Erinorian delegates.

"Indeed a cultural event would be the best method to introducing our cultures as well as the best method to start relations between the Technocracy and Erinor." Relayed Millicence, "I am looking forward to such programs be enacted to know more about your magnificent country."

When the High Paladin heard about Erinor's military, he had Chico to answer. Chico was quite worried about the state of the military in Erinor, and quickly told his thoughts.

"My friends, these are dark times we live in. You stood out from isolation towards an unstable political weather. Such as the conflicts in the Kysian union, slave trading in Vercopa, Civil war of the Sporal states, and so on. Our advice would be to arm your state as much as possible, a sufficient defensive force is perhaps enough." Continued Chico, "your country is sitting between four of the most militarily conscious states. East of Erinor is Farengeto, one of the strongest military powers in the continent. West of Erinor is Bruuma, a mysterious nuclear dictatorship. South of your state is Ryccia, which according to history, has undergone through massive anarchy and military aggressions. North of your state is Cathalea, one of the Sporal states that are armed to the teeth. Directly north of your nation is The Solar System Scope, highly intelligent spacefarers who couldn't even wield a gun. If war breaks out you shall be facing every single one of them. Our advice is to start building relations with your neighbors as fast as possible and construct defense pacts soon before it's too late, Hammerstar shall gladly help Erinor in developing military while stationing some troops as a defense measure before Erinor could afford some troops of its own."

Hannah decided that she would like to know more about the local affairs in Erinor, and perhaps see if there is an opportunity to construct another deal with them.

"I would like to ask about Erinor's stance on Education, Cultural Preservation and the Environment. Could you tell us more about them please? Perhaps we could start with the educational system of Erinor."
