To be clear, this fief trade was planned before Occitan even acquired new dashbiga. In fact, if I hadn't been so slow in getting down there fimbulvetr wouldn't have had time for the first attack. Furthermore, we traded the fief precisely because it is in the middle of a war zone. We are a neutral party, and conflict begets profit. It is better situated for trading with certain places we would like to trade with, that is really the only reason we agreed to the deal. If anyone really wants to waste their troops and gear on our little fief I am quite sure they will find the experience distasteful.
Dear Frisia, if you had made me not trading the fief of New Ada Kulun to hospitaller part of the deal when you gave it to me I would not have. I hope this does not overly besmirch a otherwise good relationship between us, but you must understand that just as you did what was in your best interests by giving me Ada kulun I have done what is in my best interests by trading it off.
Edit: also, I actually reached the fief before zan did, so they could have transferred it to me before you had a chance to attack it, but they did not. Mostly because they were all asleep, which makes sense, it was during their night-time after all.
