Duke Nicolas Soult

Roleplay posts: 290
Age: 27
Physical Description: He is a taller man, standing at 6'2" and weighing about 200lbs. He is fairly lean, and exercises regularly in addition to training, making him incredibly fit. He has brown hair and green eyes that go well with his tanned skin.
Clothes and Equipment: He maintains a modest attire, preferring simple, well-fitted clothing to the gaudy outifts worn by some of Gauldin's other nobility. A black shirt with his family's crest on it (an eagle) combined with gray pants is his preferred attire when not in battle. In battle he wears heavier armor, usually plate without the helmet. A longsword permanently adorns his hip, the blade a family heirloom enchanted by a storm being aeons ago. Lightning crackles up and diwn the blade when it is wielded with the intent to kill.

Nice try.
"Tell them that while I understand their concerns, they have also declared their unwavering loyalty and support to their monarch. Ask her if I send all the soldiers away, who then will ensure they do not rebel?"
He leaned back and drummed his fingers on the table, thinking and holding up his other hand to tell Diego not to translate yet.
"What do I have in assurance of their word that if I send the soldiers away they will not immediately overthrow me and return to their status quo?"

Diego was quiet for a moment, then rushed a hand through his dark hair.
"Your Grace, understand, please. The Zephyy and the Rondi have been at war for as long as some buildings stand, longer than some families have had generations. I... I can't speak without bias, but the hatred between our nation's is now born into our children. I do not trust these people to follow through with their word, and I think it is wise of them not to trust us to follow through with our word. The intention to be honorable is there, but some of these... People... Have done terrible things to the Rondi, and the Rondi have responded in kind."
Diego's hands gestured subtly as he spoke, his accented Gauldish rising and falling as he spoke so that he would not offend some of the Rondi soldiers in the room.
"I think it is a good idea to not let Fedaro stay. He is a war dog through and through and very good at what he does. Perhaps, have his legion March ahead. It would still be giving them what they want," Diego stated with a shrug of his shoulders, as if the casual cavalry lieutenant offered the advice because asked, and would not be offended were it ignored, heeded, or changed.

"You make an excellent point Lieutenant." The Duke answered in Gauldish, pondering the question.
"Very well, my Knights, and a small company of men hand-picked and commanded by yourself Lieutenant will remain behind. I want men who are prone to thinking before acting, it is likely too much to ask that they be capable of moving past their bias, but I at least need them to exercise restraint." He said.
"General Fedaro can move ahead and secure the border of the contested territories against Zephyy retaliation. I will tell him that in person following the conclusion of these negotiations."
