"I don't believe this concerns you," The Wordsmith's sharp gaze pierced Darius, before turning to the king with rage filled eyes, "That is a very extravagant request!"

Fury seeped into the Wordsmith's blood as she began to slowly realize the consequences of his words if she did not comply. It had always been a messy task being the matriarch of knowledge, but there had been no choice for her ever since a young age. She kept up the reputation of Libary being a beacon of power, a tool to use for conquest and strength for little payment, and not one person, group, civilization or empire had ever thought of destroying it. Because they knew, and she knew, that Libary and the Wordsmith were needed to achieve greatness, and who would sabotage their chance of power? No, the Wordsmith knew human desires all too well and she played her hand along side it to achieve her own. It was tricky at times, and occasionally she was forced to dispatch of those who were not happy with their answers on Libary, those who threatened to spread a bad reputation, but the world had been in it's golden age for quite some time. It was a world of peace and prosperity.

But now...now a King of conquest stood before her and threatened this safe haven. The cracks that she had tried so vigorously to cover were starting to show and no matter how many things went through her mind she could not come up with a simple solution. She was furious that her research would have to go on hold for the moment, the Wordsmith was so close to the end of her research it pained her to have to put the Murshlatan on pause...but as long as Libary was safe. That was all that mattered.

"Militia information on any world is difficult to obtain and even more difficult to maintain. Plans, status, weaponry and weaknesses are constantly changing and improving, so it will be a long time before I can give you that knowledge" she pinched the bridge of her nose, thinking things over, "I will have to send an undercover team to the front lines because we do not have updated information that will properly aid you. I do hope you understand."
