Never dead just hiding.

“Perhaps given the chance…a weak point he would do so. Sometimes there is a lack of diplomacy, not every conquer requires war” he signed in return.

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

So long as he keeps Mercia out of his conquering plans

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

Edward please don’t plot.

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

I would hope my wife shares the same opinion with me on such matter.

You are not the only one who takes decisions.

I want to visit my sister and discuss matters of state. Since you denied, she may have a different view on the matter.

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

The answer is still no

[ᴋɪɴɢ ᴇᴅᴡᴀʀᴅ 'ᴛʜᴇ ᴇʟᴅᴇʀ' ᴏꜰ ᴡᴇꜱꜱᴇx @Loyal_Crusader]

Maybe it's time to pay Mercia a visit.

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

Wise man knowing not to impose risk

Many of the Aldermen suggested to start a war with Mercia, even his own wife.

But that would risk an alliance and also the well being of his sister and her family.

It is a shame I do not have anyone to make use of this sword with.

@MoreThanSilver_ “You hold on to the past too much” he smirked. “I assure you I have changed”

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

@MoreThanSilver_ I am a saint and you know it to be true.

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

@MoreThanSilver_ Why do such a thing I am a saint.

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

@Loyal_Crusader send Mercian men to spill innocent blood. Be a wise king…not a foolish one.” He said, words that he wished to have heard when he first became lord.

“I will pass on your well wishes to my wife”

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

@Loyal_Crusader and cause outrage…a wise king would align his bloodline for a kingdoms loyalty. Just as your father did for with Mercia” he reminded

“The Scots would be unwise to attack a United Kingdom. They would be out numbered.” He breathed buckling his cloak.

“I stand by that I will not-

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

@Loyal_Crusader “And Mercia has repaid its debts every time.” He said coldly as on hand curled up “Rumcofa is Mercian, which Wessex is aliased with. Needn’t I remind you that Mercia Protects your heir”

[Æthelred~ 𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓲𝓪 (RP) @MerciaLord]

@Loyal_Crusader To the Christian god..why provoke war Edward. The rest of Northumbria is Saxon…if you want to be loyal to Wessex create an alliance just like your father did with Mercia.” He said though his mannerisms changed when he brought up what Wessex had done for Mercia—
