Chapter 101 – 11. Gifts.

“…Yes?”
Alan asked.
It wasn’t because she couldn’t hear it, it was because she heard something unbelievable.
“My voice is so pleasant and clear that it seems that you have been mesmerized.”
Unlike Aran, who was flustered, Moae was calm.
“We, the Mei Empire, recognized the title of ‘Cornelia Hermund Rial Persia’ and decided to call your country the ‘Persian Empire. We decided to hand over 6 areas including Roissy and Logos.”
“…”
Even after her second explanation of her, Aran only made a puzzled expression, but she didn’t say anything else.
It was the same for Hancock who entered with him.
Since her status her is her status her, she did n’t say anything, but her face her was as surprised as Aran’s.
“Then, I’d like to hear your side.”
“…”
What is the position and what… It has already exceeded the territory that Aran was aiming for in the first place.
Originally, she asked for all of Throdia, then gave and received it in moderation, and finally tried to receive Hasado (下四島) or Hasamdo (下三島).
But the Mei Empire, which has to reduce it as much as possible, will hand over 6 degrees from the beginning?
As Aran, I can only be dumbfounded.
“…Hmmmm…”
But I soon came to my senses.
There is nothing bad about it anyway.
At least 6 degrees, maybe more.
“My country wants all of Throdia.”
It came out strong as originally planned.
It is the same principle as the business principle.
If you want to get an item worth 20 mesos, and you are willing to pay 15 mesos, go ahead and ask for 10 mesos.
If the owner doesn’t like it, he gradually raises the price to 11 mesos, 12 mesos, and so on, finally raising it to around 15 mesos.
Then, since it has risen by 50% from the 10 mesos suggested at the beginning, it gives the impression that it has stepped back a lot.
The same goes for negotiations.
“Um. That’s not okay.”
“Why? Throdia lost the war, and even the king is captured.”
“Because…”
Moae placed her hand on her chest her.
“Because I am beautiful.”
Suddenly, there was an illusion of a halo shining.
I had memories of holding her violently last night, but this look was different again, as if I was looking at her saintess in her.
‘What kind of women are there…’
On the other hand, I couldn’t help but understand it.
Because she was so beautiful
“Having such a beautiful me as her wife, is n’t it the same as having already acquired all the goods in the world with just that? Even so, it must be greedy to want more.”
I have a lot of confidence and self-confidence, but I end up nodding my head without realizing it.
But I still have to say what I have to say.
“Hmmmm…I won’t deny it, but that’s just my personal gain, and it has nothing to do with Persia.”
“Then, shall we go into the root of the war?”
She pulled out her knife.
“Originally, the spoils obtained through war are closely related to the legitimacy of the war. Can the ‘Srodia-Persia’ war that you caused be called a just war? He killed them. The pain of the people cannot be expressed in words. If you think about that, I think it is not enough to apologize and compensate.”
It is a theory.
But Aran also has something to say.
“That is a misunderstanding that arises because you do not know the circumstances. About four years ago, there was an incident in which the prince of my country, ‘Merlin B Persia’, was brutally slaughtered by outlaws in Throdia. They asked for a truth-finding and clarification about the incident, but all they got back was, ‘There can be no envoys with barbarians.’
Even though the prince of a country was harmed, he just patiently tried to solve it with words, but he refused.
How should we accept this? Did you just have to leave them alone, calling themselves barbarians? If at least a few words of explanation had been given, the situation would not have come to such an extreme level.
Also, all soldiers in the home country are regular soldiers. There was no plundering at all, rather the plundering was done by the nobles of Throdia. In order to preserve their lives and property, they drove innocent people to death, and took advantage of the war to rob their property. Killing such a corrupt aristocrat is beyond spirit.”
“Eh? Is that so?”
“…”
Her momentarily intelligent appearance her seemed fierce again.
It was beautiful, of course.
“Ah, no. Ummm… Anyway, since I’m beautiful, why don’t you be satisfied with 6 degrees?”
“…”
It feels like something is not up for debate.
No, I definitely felt that way.
“And to be honest, the whole of the lower half of the peninsula is 6 provinces. Didn’t you come here thinking about returning home as well as Hasado or Hasado? Let’s be honest. In front of my divine and sublime beauty, lies are not allowed.”
Alan was sure.
That the woman in front of me hadn’t been taught how to negotiate at all.
‘Certainly it’s so pretty that it looks like it could be used as a weapon…’
Maybe because Aran was a man, she came out.
If she it was a woman, she would have less power, but isn’t Aran a lively man?
If you think about it, it seemed like a strategy to make her hold her the day before.
Every time I see Moae’s fantastic beauty her, her dazzling naked body her overlaps and it is difficult to think normally.
‘But he said he would give me 6 degrees after doing that… He even acknowledged it as a title. What’s your ultimate motive?’
Aran was curious about the Empire’s ulterior motive.
What the hell are you aiming for to allow it so easily?
.
.
.
Ultimately, the negotiations ended with the cession of the lower peninsula (6th province) of Throdia. For other achievements, recognition of the country name ‘Persia’ and recognition of ‘Title’.
In addition, he was even given the right to appoint the king of Throdia for this one time only.
“It worked out well… But, after all, something is bothering me.”
Aran muttered as he left the venue.
Hancock nodded as well.
But she doesn’t seem to be completely clueless.
“Hmm… I wonder if you’re thinking of the conflict between your Highness’s great kingdom and your home country?”
“Yes? The conflict between the Great Kingdom and the home country?”
“Yes.”
She is one of the few people who knows about the Great Kingdom.
She also knew politics as much as she was known as the ‘Count’.
“It’s an open secret that Her Highness and Princess Juana don’t get along, right?”
“I heard that it spread throughout the imperial palace.”
“That’s enough for the Mei Empire to know. And the next emperor, well… As long as there’s nothing special, he’ll be the Princess Juana.”
“Well…”
“I think I might have guessed the number there.”
Alan frowned.
Just a few months ago, I was a commoner, and since I hadn’t received any kind of education, so-called ‘reading numbers’ is a problem.
In particular, I really hate things like invisible politics.
“If Your Highness grows up, of course Her Highness her, Princess Juana, the next emperor, will hate it, right? Her Majesty Cornelia would know that, but she dared to make Her Highness her the King of the Great Kingdom. Shall I leave you alone?”
“That’s… Hard to think about.”
She looked hopeless at the thought of her face she devoted to evil.
“The lower peninsula of Throdia is fertile, and Hasamdo in particular is a granary. Logos also has a specialty, apple pie. These lands are more valuable than two or three territories in my home country, and I will not give up on them. Especially if you’re a bad brother.”
“There will be a war.”
“Yes. And that war is in some way beneficial to the Mei Empire. If Your Highness wins, ‘son-in-law’ wins, so it’s good, if Persia wins, Persia’s power is broken, so it’s good… Anything is good. Of course, the best thing is…”
“The concept of both sides.”
“Yes. But I won’t ask for that much. Otherwise, there’s no way you would give Princess Moae to Her Highness her.
Yo means that the Mei Empire will use it as a shield against Persia instead of empowering Your Highness. Anyway, the land of Throdia is not the mainland of the empire, so there is not much to lose, and the princess will have an arranged marriage anyway, so it won’t be much different even if the target is conveyed.”
“Somehow I feel like an insignificant person, don’t I?”
“And above all, if Your Highness takes over the country with a slight difference, the Mei Empire may intervene in various ways in the name of ‘supporting’ the son-in-law. Oh, maybe it will enter the war in the first place for that cause.
Anyway, as a result, the Mei Empire will be able to gulp the Throdia Peninsula and the Persian Islands just by giving her vassal land a little more. Rather, it is more influential than before.”
“… It’s scary… She’s the kind of woman who thought she was stupid more than anything else, that she even thought about it.”
“Princess Moae? It can’t be. She’s probably she’s basically from the emperor’s head.”
“No, it’s strange that Count Hancock can think of such a thing.”
She stopped walking.
“…I’m going to cry!”
“Ooh, don’t cry.”
“I’m not stupid!”
“Okay.”
“Ugh! At least I’m smarter than Her Highness her!”
“That’s because I’m a commoner.”
Hancock inflated his cheeks her.
I wanted to poke him because it was cute, but for some reason I felt like I would get very angry if I did.
