"With the Empire joining the war, we face the end." Lesezek knew he shouldn't talk like that whilst acting a sregent, but he couldn't bear to lie to himself, nor would the men believe it if he did. "Aleksander. When is your family moving. Forget petty disputes. If the Commonwealth falls, your family is on the chopping block aswell."
Aleksander knew that what Lesezek said was true and sighed deeply. "I'll urge them to hurry up. My guess is that my brother thought he could get a few more scraps before he had to move. Things changed." It was enough for Lesezek, and he left the matter there. He couldn't do anything more to force the Laska's. He couldn't risk them trying to fight the crown aswell.
"May I?" Konrad said happily, getting the attention of the two. "There could be other ways to end this war. Maybe not on the field." The two looked at the sinister light hiding behind Konrad's angelic smile and could already see where he was going.
