[X] Plan: Friendly Reveal
-[X] Send her a printing press.
--[X] Request copies of books in Storms End and the Stormlands in exchange, as "payment" for attempting to steal it.
--[X] Acknowledge that we know about her plot, but that we aren't angry, and instead are merely disappointed that she didn't think to ask, as had she done so we would happily have sent one to her as a token of friendship.
--[X] Gently caution her to be careful of revealing the Printing Press, since it may provoke the enmity of the Citadel by threatening to upend their hold on knowledge.
--[X] In the name of friendship between our two kingdoms, we request that she not plan or execute any such hostile missions again in future, and warn that if she does we will not be so forgiving and magnanimous a second time.
--[X] While we desire her trust, we understand that the head must rule the heart in affairs of state. As such, to verify that trust in us is well placed, we will not begrudge her if she wishes to maintain her own spies in the North, so long as she is willing to accept the same in return, with the understanding that neither of us will seek to harm or compromise the other through espionage.
--[X] Since our interests are aligned against Harren and Loren, we ask that she agree to share our information on them with each other. We hope this might serve as the springboard for further cooperation in pursuit of our shared interests.
--[X] Should the Stormlands wish for knowledge of our discoveries and inventions in future, they are welcome to trade for them, and we would particularly welcome any offer of knowledge in return.
--[X] Suggest that beyond the cordial relations and cooperation we have proposed, Argella and her father may wish to consider an even closer relationship between the Stormlands and the North. We hope that she can appreciate and understand that we truthfully bear her and her people no ill will, and that we genuinely desire only earnest friendship between us.

[X] Prevent the theft
-[X] Just be blatant about it. If she wanted a press, she could have damn well asked! This will be nearly impossible to mess up since you will know the plan, but it has a small risk of upsetting her if some of her best men are killed or wounded.

[X] Prevent the theft
-[X] Try and do it subtly. It will be difficult, but you could perhaps arrange for a series of "coincidences" to foil their scheme. (DC 70)

--[X] [Speech/Note] To the Honorable Princess Argella Durrandon, Daughter to the Storm King, Regent of the Stormlands I, King Torrhen Stark King in the North, would freely give unto the Kingdom of the Stormlands the invention of the printing press in the hopes of furthering ties between our two kingdoms and to further spread knowledge throughout both our realms. All we ask in return is knowledge and tomes from throughout your kingdom so as to both preserve and spread the knowledge and histories of the realm as well as to prepare for any threats that may be coming in these strange times which have befallen our kingdoms. I hope for this gift to be the start of a long and prospering relationship between our two kingdoms. Sincerely King Torrhen Stark, King in the North

[X] Send her a printing press.
-[X] For books. The library of Storm's End is probably about as old as the one in Winterfell, and Durradons of old warred with the Children of the Forest and perhaps other creatures and other gods as well. It would be a simple argument as well. (DC 10)
