Sorry I forgot this
DISCLAIMER: I do not own these characters (unless there is one you don't recognise) they belong to Tamora Pierce.
I hate interrupting the chapters I think it takes away the feeling but I think I need to explain some things.
Aly's daughter will come in later in the story. I haven't got to that part yet though.
The reason they are going to negotiate peace is because even though they aren't about to start a war the two countries haven't always been civilised. So they want to be on the safe side of the new queen.
Thayet and Jon wouldn't want to call a war on the country of their foster neice but if something really bad happened they would.
I think that's all.
