Count Theodore and Lady Karol, although merely observers at the venue, were actually the protagonists of the meeting. All agenda items were designed to show Marquis Anderson and the Silver Mane Duke behind them the Eternal Domain's attitude towards the Elves. They drew the bottom line and made the red lines public to prevent misjudgment by all parties regarding the situation in the Thunderous Swamp. The aim was to minimize any harm to themselves from accepting the Elves and to maintain room for maneuver with all involved parties, ensuring the Eternal Domain's development wouldn't be significantly disturbed.
