Why would the good peaceful Kingdom of the Astri, nay, the good peaceful Eastern Alliance have any reservations about ensuring the peace among the Kingdoms?

By hopeheartingly rejecting the idea, you give the impression you are not as motivated by peace as your Kingdom has said it was in the past.

Also, as stated above within the Pact terms, only Kingdom Kings have the capacity to accept or reject the Peace Pact, and then each unto their own Kingdom's role - a group of Kingdoms or any alliance of Kingdoms cannot be spoken for by a single individual.

While King Eric may agree with you, let him state his refusal here.

I would encourage him to sign, as I would hate for the Astri to be the weak party on the outside if the other Kingdoms see fit to adopt this Pact.
