Four years ago - Kingdom of Vaiphate

Sitting on the high quality red cushions of the richly made carriage with her legs propped up beside her a young Aria wore a red jacket with magic woven into it's threads for producing and keeping a comfortable temperature for it's wearer with a matching hat covering the top of her head. Under the warm clothing the girl wore clothing that covered her body far more than she was use to as the formfitting black clothes left only her face, and hands visible. "Isn't there a better way to reach the castle than this?" Aria asks with a bored look as she stares out into the pitch black mountain night.

"No, there is not" a woman sitting across from Aria with the same lilim features shared by all of her sisters told her. The older lilim wore a similar outfit with a dark grey color to her hat and jacket instead of the red her younger sister wore, her long white hair was in a braid that wend down the left of her and over her large b-cup chest with her bangs framing her red calculating eyes, and her arms folded beneath her breasts.

"The mountains that make up the bulk of Vaiphate's territory are shrouded in powerful blizzards most of the year. As such hiring someone familiar with the area to guide us through the blinding storms is necessary" Dottye explained to the young girl.

"Then why would anyone want to live here?" the growingly annoyed girl asked as her tail swished back and forth absentmindedly in front of the blond sitting beside her.

"It sounds like you've spent to much time behind the palace's lavish walls" a man sitting across from Naruto and roughly the same age as Dottye commented as the light inside the carriage cast a glare on one side of his classes, only allowing one of his grey eyes to be visible.

"What's that suppose to mean?!" Aria demanded as her head shoot around to glare at the man.

"You've never left the safety of the palace, at least, not without the add of one of the many portals linking us to other allied nobility. If I remember correctly" the man with moderately long brown hair and a matching, even if rather short, goatee questioned the pampered princess.

"Utter lies!" Aria shoot back with an outstretched hand. "I have been to more than palaces and mansions belonging to nobles" the girl confidently declares.

"I would hardly count the brief amount of time you and your mother traveled to Naruto's home village as being relevant" the man said getting a glare and gritted teeth in return from the girl.

"So" Naruto began as he watched Aria out of the corner of his eye. "What's so important about this place anyway?" the blond finished, looking directly at Dottye.

"It's simple once you give it a little thought" Dottye begins with a smile. "Vaiphate has very little in natural resources, but a very large and powerful military force in the region" Dottye explains while making sure the blond is following. "Now, if you were in Vaiphate's potion and were surrounded by nations plentiful in natural resources and farm land what would you do?" the lilim asks the young boy.

Taking a minute or to to think about it and having Dottye smile at his thinking face Naruto came up with an answer. "Um, I'd ask them to share" the blond said with a hint of uncertainty in his answer.

With a few quick chuckles Dottye said "You are much more kind then the rulers of Vaiphate then". Seeing Naruto giving her an odd look she continued "You suggest a diplomatic approach to solving your countries resource problems" Dottye translates the boys answer into something more politically viable. "But this is not the solution Vaiphate has chosen" Dottye says as she watches the boy's face become even more confused. "The surrounding countries are weak militarily and Vaiphate takes advantage of this with a silent threat to wipe out any number of them that refuse to meet their demands" Dottye explains.
