The Ireem Chronicles

This morning the Chronicles kitten has picked up a letter, sent to us by the palace in response to the recent article from a slaver:

==================================

For a long time, we, The Palace Guards have resisted succumbing to extortion and blackmail.

  The man in question, Taureck Ryker, portrait us like unreasonable beings and according to his version of facts careless and aggressive.

  I, Saara Van Essen, the guard in question, refused at first to be coned out of money, the threats of   aggression against him where founded as he had kidnapped a member of Palace, in the knowledge I was entitled to use force if necessary, yet was not used.

  What Mr Ryker seem to forget to mention is that, a larger fee of 700 dinars was requested for "rescuing and feeding the Palace girl", greedy extortion?... absolutely. Furthermore he threaten me to ends this unarmed Palace Lady if I did not pay, at the time, I did not possess the resources to pay the requested ransom that summed to 1500 dinars.

  At the sight of a man, who was willing to end an innocent woman's life for just gold, I sought help from a friend and ex-co-commander Kaya who kindly provided the gold for her release, once he settle for only the fee he paid for her.

  Lastly, though his greedy and actions had an impact on me personally, I am grateful he kept his word and released her party unharmed as agreed. We are aware of who the perpetrator is, coincidently another slaver named Carl, fortunate coincidence?... debatable.
