The diplomatic mission was final.
The Ghost King, the chillingly ethereal figure radiating immense spiritual power, escorted Princess Selena on an ethereal palanquin, flanked by a contingent of the most intimidating, yet disciplined, Barbarian Giants.

"Seize him!" King Belmont roared, his voice shaking the very ice columns of his throne room.
Thud, thud, thud.
