Survival in Another World With My Master

Discussions in the Principality of Dihart, like those in the Kingdom of Tigris, seemed to have ended in about an hour, with the people of the mission returning to the meeting site. In the meantime, we weren't just drinking tea and blurring. We were discussing exactly what negotiation cards the other party would use and what we found out from their behavior.

"So, have you decided how to respond to this request?

"Well, yeah. I understand that there are various circumstances there too. Why don't you tell me one thing here," Break your belly "?

I accidentally reacted to Lord Antonius' expression with my eyebrows twitching. This is what I said to Lord Nelson. Apparently, the Principality of Dihart and the Kingdom of Tigris shared information more closely than I thought.

"Break your stomach. Does that mean we don't lie to each other, we talk straight to each other?

"Oh, yeah."

"You know there's a true Virgin here, don't you?

So you're telling me that if you break your stomach and tell a lie, you know you'll find out right away. That means...

"Yeah, sure."

"Hmm, interesting. You want me to tell you something?

When prompted to speak, Antonius nodded to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Home Secretary.

"Isn't the goal of the kingdom of Merinard to turn down the grief of reckoning? Worst of all, I would like to capture the Kingdom of Tigris and keep us under control, focusing on measures against the Holy King in the east. I guess that's what this is all about."

"If you think about it a little bit, even children will know. So?"

"I propose a 10-year inviolability treaty and a gradual surrender of subhuman slaves. Instead, I want you to split the compensation into 10 years."

"Phased handover? And what about the trade treaty?

"Well, don't rush. Let's clean it up one by one. First of all, with regard to the gradual handover, if it is handed over simultaneously, it is likely that our agricultural and mining production will be hit hard. In some cases, this may break the country. You didn't mean it, did you?

He looked at Ellen but shook his neck. This means that, as Lord Antonius said, in some cases the Principality of Dihart could really be broken.

"Go on."

"In fact, there is also a correspondence with Adolescence. If we decide to hand over all of our slaves to you now and move on to execution, interference from the Holy King may intensify. I want to avoid that. The Holy King's influence in the Principality of Dihart has fallen considerably in this defeat. I don't want to rush here, but I want to gradually hand over the subhuman slaves, and I want to tear down the forces of the Holy King's Sympathies so that I can strangle them with zigzag and cotton."

"... it's starting to sound interesting. Keep going."

To tell you the truth, the Grand Duke, or the Dihart, is an anti-Holy King.

"That's stupid. Does the Grand Duke have the blood of the Holy King's house?

"Yes, but it's complicated. Would your Madonna know if what I'm saying is a lie?

Not only me and Lord Antonius, but everyone's eyes are on Ellen.

"At least I know you think so."

"I see. Is what he says true?

It's true.

"Of course, it's true."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Home Secretary nod to my question. Ellen nodded next door.

"If that's what the Foreign Minister and the Home Secretary say about the general entrusted with diplomatic negotiations, it's definitely information."

I put my arms together. This is a little unexpected. The Principality of Dihart had only thought beforehand that it would not break the support of the Holy King, but it was really troubled how to deal with it.

"I don't ask why the Grand Duke - or, indeed, how Royal Dihart maintains his posture as an anti-Holy King. Things around here aren't important to us."

"He's right."

"What is important is the fact that the anti-kingdom forces are now growing in the Principality of Dihart and the anti-kingdom forces are weakening. There is also a saying that enemies are allies. In fact, it's not that simple, but if they're not friendly to each other, they might be able to hold hands in parts."

There can be no true friendship between a country and a country. But if we have a common enemy, we can hold hands.

"I understand the gradual surrender of slaves. What about the trade treaty?

"Well, I'd like to use it to shatter the Holy King's forces."

"I see. You want me to force you to say something, and then we put you in a bad position."

And what the Holy Kings are losing is in our interest.

"I understand the division of the decade, but I think it would be better if it were a trade convention. However, with regard to the surrender of subhuman slaves, we can still drink gradually, but it is forbidden to transfer or sell them outside the Kingdom of Merinard. Ask for early treatment improvement. And about studying abroad....."

"I'll let you drink all the conditions about that. There's no difference."

"It's pretty light, isn't it?

There's something going on here too.

That's how Lord Antonius shook his shoulders. Hmm? I wonder if there are circumstances in which you want to keep the Holy Kings away from royalty and the children of nobility.

After this, we finished the other fine terms meeting, reached a broad agreement, and concluded the talks. So we finally got rid of most of the Northern invasion-related rattles.

No, it was a long time. It was really long. Now we can finally go back to Merlinesburg.
