To say Peter was conflicted about this was an understatement, he knew it needed to be done, he knew it was right but at the same time he could still see the then Captain Cartier who handed Daniele over to Achkaerin in 1998, saving the future duchess's life, it wasn't easy for the Emperor having been involved in that operation to effectively wash his hands of one of the bravest men he'd known but good men could go bad and Sebastian Cartier was a criminal and had to face justice.
"Mr Ambassador." Peter said when Thibault was shown into his study "Thank you for coming promptly. I'm sure this comes as no surprise but this concerns Colonel Cartier. I'm equally sure it comes as no surprise to you that this concerns his extradition, Achkaerin has no extradition agreements with Marseilles however the Colonel must face justice so I'm prepared to extradite him on the following conditions:
Firstly that the trial is conducted in accordance with the relevant articles of the MCUR, I have no reason to believe that this will not be the case but I hope you understand that I need the affirmation on the record. Secondly the death penalty must be taken off the table, Achkaerin does not extradite to the death penalty and I would be unable to satisfy the demand if it were on the table. Thirdly the trial must include charges in respect all the people whose deaths, abuse and so on that he is responsible for whether they be CTOMM, Marseilles or Nya Aland, fourth there must be no further extradition of the Colonel this is where it ends the crimes were committed in Marseilles. Finally he has proven to be a valuable intelligence source in respect of the Sorority of Materna, it may become necessary for him to be asked further questions if so we will inform you. If the terms are agreeable he can be on a plane in the morning."
