"With everything that has happened, we've decided to transfer Korilis over to you. If you are willing, we will give you all of the land in that township."
Valerie wrinkled her face at the king and sighed. "What are we going to do with land to your kingdom? Won't we have to maintain everything? That sounds like it would be more of a pain than it's worth."
"Well," the king said, "we would still be able to maintain things if you'd like, but you would get all of the tax revenue, and the land will be functionally yours to do with as you pleased."
The dragoness sighed. "It still sounds like an ocean of responsibility to place on me, and I want nothing to do with that responsibility."
Bery grabbed onto Valerie's arm. "We could have someone else look over it. I am kind of interested...It's the town I grew up in. And besides, I think we should invite them over to eat at least."
The king perked up at the mention of food, but he didn't say anything. He waited for Valerie to speak instead.
