After Louis left the chamber, the hall remained oppressive.
Bradley slowly stepped forward, standing beneath the main seat, taking a stack of documents bearing the Red Tide seal from the adjutant's hand. He announced without expression: "This is the draft of the 'Snow Peak Rebuilding Treaty'. Please sign in order."
The document was brief, yet its wording was as cold and hard as iron:
Within the Red Tide Territory, all nobility must comply with the Red Tide laws; no private armies shall be established, nor shall there be interference in military or governmental affairs.
All matters of the nobility must be coordinated with the Red Tide, in unified cooperation with the winter transition and rebuilding deployment.
Those who disobey will be considered as committing rebellion.
