Adelaide starts to speak but is cut off by Asja.

"You seem to be under the impression that we are having negotiations. We are not.  You have the terms in front of you.  Accept them or do not, but this conversation is no longer valid.  This is the high office of the Regent of the realm, not a bargaining table.  And so you know, yes, there are tarriffs on all exported goods."

Adelaide, for once in her career, shows annoyance by simply closing her eyes, opening them again when Asja is done speaking.

"As...lacking in tact as that may have been, I'm afraid my seneschal is correct. I have given you as much information as I might.  What you do with it is up to you, my dear, and I wish you all success in your endeavors."
