Lesson 13: Peace Negotiations II

Well, it's been a week since both sides stared at each other.

Oddly enough, Ludwig I and Erkühl were all screaming.

"" Hurry up and admit you lost! Um, you strongman!!

At the same time.

Fullering kingdom, the capital city of Ruthisi.

In one of the halls there was an important person invited.

"This situation...... as expected? Holiness."

"No way. I was just thinking as one of the possibilities"

In response to the question of Archbishop Kronos of Lemuria, Cecilia gracefully answered with a cup of tea.

At present, the war between the Lemurian Empire and the Furling Kingdom was a battle of "which breaks first".

Because, first of all, the Kingdom of Fullering cannot continue the war for long periods of time due to problems such as soldier stations.

but the Lemurian Empire is the Lemurian Empire and cannot continue the war any longer than there is the presence of the Farse kingdom behind it.

That's why it's like chicken lace.

"With the Lemurian army and the Furling army, well I'm not familiar with the military, but I can expect the Lemurian army to be stronger. … before the Commander, because the quality and quantity of weapons and soldiers are different. And... diplomatically, the Lemurian Empire is more at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of whether there are enemies behind it or not"

Cecilia speaks pale of her analysis.

This is the characteristic of that country as a "nation", which has left out the abilities of Erkühl and Ludwig I.

The Furling Kingdom is economically inferior and inevitably changes the amount of capital it takes on the army. This cannot be overshadowed by Ludwig I's efforts.

And due to certain permanent diplomatic challenges for the Lemurian Empire, the nature of the susceptibility of all directions to be surrounded by great powers due to the characteristics of the crossroads of civilization, the fact that the Kingdom of Fars exists behind it is also not such that it can be overshadowed by Erkür's efforts.

"But... wasn't Ludwig I able to move the kingdom of Falls something Erkühr I couldn't even have predicted?

Kronos speaks the question...... Cecilia shook her head left and right.

"No, I think Master Erkühl expected it, too. Ludwig I moves or not in the first place, but the Farse kingdom will attack as long as there are gaps, right?... It's just that Ludwig I had a stronger connection to Sassan VIII than Erkühl assumed. That's all we're talking about."

What could be assumed for Cecilia and not for Erkühl is the difference in the amount of information.

The Mesian Church is a kind of bureaucracy, and it exists all over the world.

Cecilia's information network extends to the Kingdom of Furling, as well as to the Kingdom of Fars.

Cecilia and I are not passing all the information to Elquille.

Some important information kept on hand as cards.

"As a result, the Farse kingdom began to show suspicious movements sooner than Erkühl assumed. Unexpected by Master Erkühl so far. And from here on out, it's unexpected for Ludwig I."

"Ludwig I's?

"I think we underestimated the total military force mobilized by the Lemurian Empire. Perhaps his prediction is that the Lemurian army has already withdrawn. But I'm not retreating. Because the Lemurian Empire has a powerful line of defense, mainly the Tundan soldiers. And from both the Bulgaron and Cerda, because we can still squeeze troops out of Hayastan at worst. Therefore, the Farse kingdom cannot be attacked in a detour, and because we know that it cannot be attacked in a detour, Master Erkühl is able to continue to stare at each other in that place for a week."

Erkühl and there is no way he could empty his own country and attack another country.

Somewhat, I set up a war because I'm confident that I can hold out for a while even if they give me a little bit, because I'm confident that I can fight even if it's a two-front operation at worst.

Satan VIII would also have his tongue wrapped around it by now.

"The rest of us, you hate each other for losing. I guess you're not even willing to pull it off. As a result, a thousand hands on both sides. That's why the hand number comes around to us"

That's what Cecilia stood up for.

The door opened at that time.

Just in time, the Knight of the Fullering Kingdom arrived.

"We're the only ones who can end the war. … I have already spoken with the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Lemurian Empire, Lord Todoris Todrianus. After that, if you talk to Sir Namo of the Fullering Kingdom, and then convince the monarchs of both countries, it's over."

For that kind of Cecilia look...

I had a proud smile on my face.

Well, then another week later.

Cecilia went to Elquille, that is to say to the Kingdom of Ederna.

"I'm in a good mood, Your Majesty. How's it going?

"Well, does it look good to you?

The look on Elquille's face like that... seemed terribly grumpy.

I guess Cecilia's proposal has already passed through Todoris, to Elquille.

That makes me uncomfortable.

"Yeah, of course. In a few moments... the war will be over"

"... ho"

In response to Cecilia's words, Elquille hammered small with a grin.

On the back of his expression, Erkühl's mood is plummeting.

The herds who notice it are horny.

"You tell me to admit my loss to Lemuria?

In a low voice, Erkühl asked.

There is a slight leak of anger.

Ordinary humans would lose their hips on this and give a frightened look.

But Cecilia trembled inside, but did not reveal it in her expression, returning it to her temperament.

"No, nothing? What I have proposed is only a draft of the terms of harmony. If you don't like it, why not discuss it with Ludwig I"

And Cecilia winked small.

"I'm proud to say I'm the only one who can get the place ready. 'Cause, right? If Erkühr sends a Messenger of Reconciliation first, it seems that Erkühr is weak. And vice versa."

Neither Erkühl nor Ludwig I knew that the war could continue any longer.

Therefore, he wanted to reconcile, and he thought that there would be no way to make some concessions for the sake of reconciliation.

But what was shackled was which would propose harmony first, that is to say, to attach it to the table.

If you hit it badly, you may be perceived as weak and asked to negotiate terms.

So we had to stare at each other.

"The Son of God unto God, and that of the Emperor unto the Emperor. I am far from secular power. In other words, it's the most neutral."

"How dare you start saying that in white. Who do I look like?"

"Who do you think?

When Cecilia laughed prankily, Erkühl frowned uncomfortably.

"Well, let's say I give up a hundred steps and hope I broker you. Will Ludwig I approve of your mediation? Is it obvious that you and I are close?

"Of course, Master Elquille."

Cecilia nodded.

"Now the momentum of the papal sect is greatly diminished. As it is, it is self-evident that it can be repainted by the princess witch. Ludwig I wanted to sell me a favor, and when I was starting to want to switch anything."

"... who do you think made it back to this point?

"Of course, it's my arm. Because I drew support from Master Erkühl. Different?

"Really...... Got Glamorous"

And Elquille sighed loudly.

Then... I bowed my head down small.

"Princess Witch Holiness, please... I ask you to mediate the reconciliation"

"I'm in awe. Your Majesty."

Well, then Cecilia went to Ludwig I...... some sort of negotiation and obtained the consent to take a seat of conciliation from here as well.

And as a precedent to the negotiations, there was an exchange of prisoners between the two sides.

This ended without delay, without any confusion or treaty breaking, under the surveillance of the Orthodox Mesian Church princess witches.

Each of Nia and Bradamanthe returned to his master.

And the day after that.

A simple tent was erected at the midpoint, just from the armies of both sides.

And while Cecilia watches...

"It's been a long time since I've seen you in person like this. His Majesty Elquille."

"Yeah, not at all. As long as I miss it. His Majesty Ludwig."

Erkühl and Ludwig I exchanged hands to shake.

And then we get to the table...

Stared at each other.

Cecilia proclaimed in a disproportionately bright voice in the air that was sinister to see.

"Now...... let's get down to business. We will end this war peacefully."

"" Hmm... "
