Cession of claims was offered by your previous ruler.
Girich... yea, that was dumb, I have no idea who modified my draft to add that clause. Still, that's not the one you made a fuss about.
Going to war within a month... How is that so incredibly unreasonable? Get your ass over to Fissoa already, if you truly want to get involved. A month is a long time.
1. Alice is not Fulco, surprise!
2. Why are you trying to tell me I didn't do something, when I'm the one who did it?
For your convenience:
"Prime Minister Rynn,
I reject your proposals outright, and condemn them for their misuse of the situation. I do not care if your people do not trust mine (the same situation is true vice-versa) and I do not care if your people fear an attack or not. I will tell you what matters: neither D'hara or Luria Nova is winning the war between them, territories are the same as they were before the declaration of war by Solaria, an equal amount of victories (roughly) favor both sides, and both sides have military intentions elsewhere.
In no way, shape, or form will Luria Nova forsake its claims on the Lurian realm of Shadovar, colony of Pian en Luries, nor will it forsake them to the rogue Lurian realm that sprouted from its core. In addition, under no circumstance will Luria Nova cede Girich. Simply put, you are in no position to make demands, and neither are we.
Moreover, forcing my realm to attack the Southern realms in a month is preposterous. It is our next target, do not fret, but I will not confine myself to the boundaries you have set. Luria Nova has pledged its support to the Fissoan campaign against Falkirk, and thus will move to aid the Grand Duchy when it is ready and able to. If that happens under a month, the better, if not, then soon enough after that.
With that said, I firmly propose a white peace, once again, to assure status quo ante bellum, so that we may focus on the Southern realms and be done with this conflict. If not, my armies will march on yours, and I will tell Morek and Corsanctum that we must postpone aiding them against Aurvandil because the Isles got greedy when they shouldn't have.
Faithfully Luria's,
Alice Arundel
Queen of Luria Nova"
Seems like an equal amount of fussing to me. Not to mention, I fussed about the territories first. But hey, I guess you know more than I do when it comes to things Alice does and doesn't say, right?
3. Why is it unreasonable?
"11.
D'Hara and Luria Nova will have up to one month to make an official declaration of war and attack upon one of the southern orvando-saxon realms.
11.1 If such a declaration and attack do not happen within a month,
the realms Luria Nova will be expected to contribute to the other's campaign. As soon as the month deadline expires,
the faulty party Luria Nova will be expected to donate 2000 gold to the other party. If a week passes by past the deadline, again without an attack, a new donation of 5000 gold will be expected. If an attack is still not held a week after then, and for every week that follows, donations of 10000 gold will be expected. If
the realm Luria Nova has not only failed to attack, but has also not made a single war declaration, this amounts will be doubled."
D'Hara was obviously ready to invade, with an army (which was about to attack Girich (surprise again)) close to its capital and ready to set sail. Luria Nova, on the other hand, was and still is concluding its war with Luria Vesperi. Lands must be consolidated, taken care of, and armies refitted. Plus, things had (still have) to be rectified within the realm.
I was looking at 1-2 months time, before war. Luria Nova already made its own promises, and was set to declare war
when it was good and able to. I'm sorry that Luria Nova is an independent realm, and would like to do things on its own?
