	"King Alistair has also promised that he will be back with more reinforcements by then." Vivienne spoke next. "Assuming he brings the same as last time, which is a good bet, that's another nine hundred elite Galloglaigh shock infantry from the Glens."

	"Yes." Sylviane nodded as she beamed at the reminder. "And lastly, I have a second plan, which is to send an emissary to Rhetie and petition for the support of Duke Hugh de La Tours." She added as she felt compelled to reveal her last play. "The Duke has mobilized his forces but sent very little to the south to support Marshal Cosette on the Garona front. I'm hoping to convince him to support me instead by creating a third prong in the offensive to retake Alis Avern."		"Yes, and with the King himself to lead their highland charge." Sylviane nodded as she beamed at the reminder. "And lastly, I have a second plan, which is to send an emissary to Rhetie and petition for the support of Duke Hugh de La Tours."

	"Considering that the Duke still hadn't made his position clear, that would be a gamble." Queen Katell assessed. "Ultimately, I believe it will come down to Your Highness' ability to win a decisive battle against the pretender Gabriel in the field."

	"Then it's decided." The youthful king smiled back. "You will have the full support of Ceredigion in this endeavor, including both my best general and 20,000 of my kingdom's ~~finest~~ soldiers."		"Then it's decided." The youthful king smiled back. "You will have the full support of Ceredigion in this endeavor, including both my best general and 20,000 of my kingdom's soldiers."

	It was double of what Sylviane had originally asked for, ~~as those numbers represented two-thirds of~~ Ceredigion's army. And unlike Queen Katell who owed Sylviane for the Princess' aid, Llywelyn owed Sylviane nothing and was under no obligation to contribute forces to an heir who wasn't even crowned. Thus, it almost surprised Kaede until she realized that ''this'' was why Llywelyn had required additional convincing.		It was double of what Sylviane had originally asked for. And the Princess' eyes swelled as 20,000 meant Llywelyn had just wagered the ''entire'' Ceredigion army on helping her retake the throne.

	In that moment, Kaede fully understood why the Princess warned not to underestimate the boy monarch. There was no doubt that the new ruler of Ceredigion was born to play at the table of kings.
