Lesson 28: After Southern Diplomacy

"Look, Dumbo. Say hello to His Majesty the Emperor and the Princess."

When the black tutor gave the instructions, the elephant known as Dumbo was politely asked to greet Erkür and Cecilia.

"Well, that's a good one."

"This is polite"

Erkür raising his voice of admiration and Cecilia reflexively making a meeting.

Seeing how those two are doing, diplomats coming from the Kingdom of Nuba turn a blind eye to the Tutor.

The Tutor learns that he is well received by the Emperor and the Princess Witch (Medium) and has Dumbo perform the art as planned in advance.

Dumbo, who will also perform numerous arts afterwards.

Five elephants appeared in the climax, performing one art after another to show them.

At the end of the show, the diplomat of the Kingdom of Nuba asks Erkür what he thinks.

"How was it, Your Majesty? Below the Princess (Medium)"

"It was wonderful. I've never seen an elephant before."

"I can't believe a creature that big follows a human! You're a very clever animal!

The diplomat giggled damned when he saw Erkühl in a good mood and Cecilia delighted innocently.

Once the Kingdom of Nuba has unilaterally cut off its national traffic against the Lemurian Empire.

It has also been passed down to the Kingdom of Nuba that Erkür is a very atrocious monarch, and it is no longer a national policy for the Kingdom of Nuba to be in a good mood for both of them.

"I will offer these six elephants if Your Majesty wishes. Besides art, it also helps transport heavy goods such as construction."

"In war?

"... these elephants are trained to never hurt people for safety. Regardless, there are also many elephants in the Kingdom of Nuba that are taught as war elephants. If Your Majesty wishes, we will sell it with elephant users."

"Hmm..."

After a little thought, Elquille decides to receive six elephants.

By the way, the names of the six heads can be Dumbo, Jumbo, Maitreak, Catie, Giggles, and Prissy.

(Well, while using it for construction, citizens would be happy to do it even occasionally in the arts. I want to show it to Carolina and Luna)

The problem is the cost of food, but at least it doesn't mean we eat as much food as the military and bureaucrats.

The biggest expense is labor, and about six elephants are insignificant.

(But well, war elephants are a troubling place... I'm interested)

War elephants are unstable weapons.

If you do poorly, it runs wild and can also be a factor in the collapse of your own army.

(But if you have more than a hundred war elephants, is the purpose to make you think that the military power of the Kingdom of Nuba is not insulting either...?

Erkühr sees a diplomat with a clever wisdom turning.

When a diplomat finds out that an elephant is popular with the two of them, he then brings in lions, giraffes, etc. to show them to them.

When I look at Cecilia with her sparkling eyes, Elquille also sticks with me and says, "Then I'll have that, too".

"Wow, cute...... you're no different than a cat when you try this"

Cecilia touching the lion and the pepper.

Because the male lion with the big hyena is still firmly pegged, or it will not strike Cecilia.

The most guarded soldiers don't seem to care, and they look harrowed.

"Why don't you touch Master Erkühl, too?

"Right."

Elquille reaches out to the lion.

Then the ever grand lion suddenly shook his body and shrunk.

I'm rattling and shivering.

"Oh..."

"You don't seem to like me."

Erkühr raises a slightly grumpy voice.

The diplomat panicked and addressed another lion to Elquille.

"Ko, what about this girl? It's a lion's baby."

"Heh, you look like a cat"

Elquille receives the baby.

At first the baby gets scared and tries to escape...

As soon as Erkühr was exposed to intense killing, he grew older.

"This baby looks like a good girl."

Elquille strokes the throat of a lion's baby.

It's still the cat that rattled his throat.

"Oh dear Erkür..."

"Here."

Elquille hands the lion to Cecilia, who looked like she had touched him.

Then the lion's baby pulled his face off Cecilia's chest, as if he was in deep relief.

And the last time a diplomat showed Erkür and Cecilia...

"Well, wow!

"Heh, you're real."

It was a unicorn with bright white horns.

It is bigger than a normal horse around and has a beautiful silver fur.

"He pokes and kills lions, and even attacks elephants. The most beautiful, noble and ferocious animal in the world. It's a unicorn."

In Mesianism, unicorns are considered sacred beasts.

No animal would be more deserving as a gift to Elquille or Cecilia.

but there was only one concern for Elquille.

"Is it okay to hear that unicorns prefer virgins and poke and kill them that the other person is not a virgin? I'm not a virgin."

joking. Erkühr said.

Naturally there is no hymen in Erkür, and the problem is that there is no one in Cecilia either.

There is no longer a single hymen or other fragment due to scattered Elkür stuff entering and exiting.

If Cecilia were to be poked and killed, it would be a scandal that would not go out of style.

"That is superstition, Your Majesty. I would normally touch a man."

That's what diplomats say and touch peppers and unicorns.

Relieved to see it, Erkühl and Cecilia approached the unicorn.

Cecilia touched the unicorn in such a way as to fear.

Then Unicorn licks Cecilia's palm with a pepper.

As Cecilia approached further, Unicorn rubbed her face against Cecilia.

(... sounds strangely like animals like you, Cecilia is)

On the contrary, animals look at the elquille and are frightened.

What difference does it make?

It is a difference in personality.

"Is it possible to ride the back of a unicorn?

"Unicorns are difficult animals, so they are compatible.... From what I've seen, this unicorn seems to go well with the Princess Witch (Medium), and I was wondering if I could ever get on it. But it's dangerous, so I can't recommend it in my position."

Well, do it if you want because there's nothing you can't do.

But we have nothing to do with it.

said the diplomat with such nuances on board.

(Why don't you put Cecilia on a unicorn and let Nova Lemuria walk)

Cecilian non-virgin theories are already in circulation in the Lemurian Empire.

Well, Cecilia is popular in the Lemurian Empire, and Erkür is a famous man for the Lemurian Empire people, so it is favorably perceived that those two men and women are close...

Still saying, "What about that?" I also have a cleanliness disorder.

Probably that kind of cleanliness is a devout follower of Messianism, and I firmly believe in unicorn virgin cooks.

If we put Cecilia on unicorn in front of them, it would be a huge publicity.

Subsequently, gold and ivory produced in the Kingdom of Nuba, the fur of rare animals and a large number of black slaves were given to Erkühl as a contribution.

In return, Elquille gave silk, rubies, spices and other luxuries obtained in trade with the East, cotton cloths and sugar, glass and ceramics from the Lemurian Empire.

This is not just an exchange of tributes and rewards, it has implications as a sample of traded goods that both sides can present to the other side.

In fact, diplomats in the Kingdom of Nuba looked surprised by the cotton cloth, sugar and ceramics that did not exist until a short while ago.

The Lemurian Empire and the Nuba kingdom were once again reunited in friendship.

Well, then a little later...

Erkür and Cecilia were in talks with another opponent.

"I will see you first, Your Majesty, under the Princess Witch (Medium). My name is Macinissa, and I am the head of the Barbal and Cheyenne clans."

A slightly shallow-black skinned man with a high nose, blue eyes, greeted Erkür and Cecilia.

Balbal of the Balbal tribe, means "those who speak words (with Balbal Balbal) that I don't quite understand," and although their self-proclaims are slightly different...

In order to avoid confusion, Macinissa named herself the Barbal tribe in Lemurian.

"You two have been asked to look at three things this time, because I have a favor to ask you."

Macinissa put up three fingers.

I say to Cecilia first.

"I am a follower of Messianism, and there are many Messians in the Cheyenne family as well. But there is not a single official priest, a bishop. As a result, incorrect teaching is being disseminated. Please send a bishop."

"Okay, we'll see about that soon."

Cecilia nodded lightly.

From Cecilia, there is no reason to say no.

"One more thing, to His Majesty the Emperor. I'd like you to officially authorize the transaction."

"Deal, yeah. What can you get out of there?

"It's gold or ivory. There are many other rare products south of the Great Desert."

Erkühr smiled.

Whatever the ivory is, I don't care how much money I have.

"Whether it's good or not. You should come to Alextya every year."

"Thank you...... and one last thing. Can you teach me how to raise a camel? That way, we can send many more products to Lemuria."

The means of mobility of the Balbals are mainly horses and robas, but there are limits then to going beyond the desert.

Nothing would be more comfortable if you could use a camel to move around.

"It would be good...... I just want to say, there are conditions.... Cecilia, could you please take it off a little?

"Well, Master Elquille. Are you hiding from me? Tell me later."

Cecilia took a seat lightly.

Erkür and Machinisa then engaged in some diplomatic negotiations, which culminated in the exchange of a certain covenant between the Lemurian Empire and the Barbal tribe.
