Sweet Reincarnation
Episode 295 Negotiations and Water Theory
A gentleman came from a sailboat that was obviously made differently from the Bombino highway.
Pais is also an acquaintance and a forming part of the domestic politics of the kingdom of God.
Even though you feel the goodness of the product from your beautifully dressed body, a smile like a sticky smile is not suitable for today's scene.
"I was surprised Count Cowenbar came all the way."
Pace throws words containing tickles and thorns.
"I occasionally stayed at Uncle Ratesh's for chores. Looks like we were able to prevent a sudden incident, and I'm relieved. Hahaha"
The Count of Cowenbar passes on the ironic words of Pace in a calm manner. The margin that emerges from the attitude makes you feel that you have spent many years scraping the strings in the negotiation arena.
There was an atmosphere that made me think of myself as an ancient strong man, in a different sense from the magnificent sword that was cut on the battlefield.
"Thank you for your time. If you were to come aboard, I knew it was around Count Carlsen."
It is not Count Cowenbar's job to conduct inspections that originally concern maritime interests. What authority do you have here?
The Count nodded lightly in response to Pace's question.
"His mercy is also busy. Besides, Count Carlsen can't be close to the Bombino or the Rateshs while the inspectors are at work. That's why I came instead. Are you dissatisfied?
"There is no extinction. I am honored to welcome you."
Count Cowenbar is a noble town of foreign affairs. Its authority is superior to that of Count Carlsen. That said, only in the diplomatic field, considerable discretion is allowed with the confidence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the budget to be moved is quite large. It doesn't make sense to be eligible for arbitration.
Originally, the Count recognized the Holy Nation as a bridge between the Holy Nation and the Kingdom of God. He speaks the Holy Nation fluently without accent and is familiar with the cultural customs of the Holy Nation. Faith is the kingdom of God, but others have acquired knowledge and manners that allow them to melt into the holy nation without any discomfort.
Of all the problems expected with the Holy Nation, perhaps the most suitable.
Whose exploitation is it? A fox from the south, or a black duke from King's Landing. Or the royal palace. There can also be direct missions for kings.
Whatever his thoughts, the Count's arrival made it difficult for the soldiers to do what they had to say.
Pace smiled and welcomed Count Cowenbar. It's a middle-class trick.
So, I'm going to take care of this, but I hope you'll understand.
"Before nodding, I'd like to ask for an explanation."
What happens when you suddenly show up to partition it out?
It would be natural to ask for a detailed explanation.
Upon Pace's request, the Count now begins to spill his words whilst stroking his jaw.
"Hmm... in the first place, when there was a“ petty fire "in King's Landing, the Morteln family contacted me saying that they had“ lost ”the items they were going to donate to the royal family."
"Mm...."
Pace looked at the Count's words, saying that he had lost the obvious arson and the obvious theft. Of course, if you leave the Count's argument here, the problem will be considerably reduced.
Pace protests violently about his intent to use such a word.
"I want you to calm down. The royal family has a place."
The Count takes the violent protest of the boy nobleman flatly.
On top of that, I explain the position of the royal family.
As a royal family, I don't want this to end up as a conflict between foreign forces and the state versus the state. Only the present King, who had originally had a moderate diplomatic policy, believed that fighting would drain heavily and harm national interests.
Of course, the King has the readiness and judgment not to quit the war if necessary. Nevertheless, it is the kingdom of God surrounded by virtual hostiles. I want to squeeze out my enemies when I can.
At present, the Kingdom of God is the main enemy of the Shiri Kingdom. The southeastern coalition, led by House Huberlek, has succeeded in seizing vast tracts of land. As it is, it is the general foreign policy today to narrow down the enemy to the weak kingdom of Cyril and keep staring at others.
That's why I can't say anything uncertain. Criticizing the Holy Nation and then making mistakes is the worst in the sense of selling just fights and losing the cause.
Therefore, it is not assumed that the fire was set on fire, but simply lost until it is clear whether it was stolen or not.
As a Morteln family, there are some things that are difficult to convince, but Pace can only nod if explained in a neat way.
"Excuse me. Please continue."
"Apart from the“ loss ”of the offering, it is also important if it is a small fire in the noble city of King's City. His Majesty herself investigated the circumstances and apparently concluded there was a high suspicion of arson."
"Yes"
Again, it seems that the Count set fire to the fire.
Since the fire occurred near the kitchen, there is a possibility that a fire occurred spontaneously, accidents or accidental fires occurred.
Therefore, I do not affirm. It's just an attitude of arson. Extremely likely.
This is also a political judgment, which is sufficient as a basis for the Duke's army to move people, but even if there is a protest, there is room for deception, which is a key to diminishing ambiguity.
"To put it further, anyone thought to be a arsonist has escaped. And the Duke of Cadrecek laid a check on the King's Landing under his own command."
"Yes, I hear that."
A checkpoint laid out with the momentum to seal off King's City.
This is being led by a powerhouse faction under its own command.
There is also a request from the Morteln family, and something is happening on their knees.
The king's capital has been vandalized, and the culprit has fled. Then it will be an act of crushing the face of the duke who guards the peace.
"The Duke contacted me after the army opened an investigation and the killer apparently tried to flee the country."
"I think it's a quick response."
There they were contacted by the King's Landing.
Have you heard from him?
How?
It's Pace's question.
I hear there are many wizards in the royal family, but can they be contacted so quickly over such a wide area?
Or is it something physical or technical?
The Count answers the boy's question.
Lord Morteln.
"Father?"
"For these times, it is fair to say that Sir Morteln is packed in King's Landing. Master Casserole's magic contacted us."
Pace noticed that Casserole also used “magic candy.”
Originally, Casserole is rich in convenience and versatility because of its magical content, but it doesn't have enough magic to fly around from King's Landing. It would be about Pace who could do such a thing.
However, if the magic is replaced by candy, you don't have to use your own magic. Since it is widely known that the magic of Moment Transfer is the eighteenth of casseroles, if even the amount of magic is deceived, it will be all-you-can-transfer.
"As I said, I happened to be at Uncle Ratesh's."
"Yes"
"And when Uncle Ratesh instructed us to intensify surveillance at sea, the Bombino family contacted us."
"Is that what your father said?
There is a considerable distance from Bombino to Ratesh territory.
From the technical level of the kingdom of God, such as contacting them in less than half a day, there is no alternative to magical means.
Pace asks if his father played an eight-faced role, and the Count shakes his head lightly.
"No, I saw a bird in contact. It must be the wizard of the Bombino family."
Hmm.
"Looking at the contents, I decided that even a war with the Holy Nation could occur if I succumbed. Was this a mistake?
"No, I think you're right."
Perhaps Uranta arranged with a lot of care.
As a matter of fact, public ships have appeared and even armed clashes have occurred. If you keep thinking about the worst, there could be a Holy Nation versus the Kingdom of God war, or a full-scale world war of God versus all the neighboring countries, as in the previous war.
As for Pace, I had imagined that there would be a foreign affairs chat somewhere, but I wonder if Uranta could have imagined that much.
Therefore, the Count's concern is valid if it is only a possibility.
"I guess so. If you predict future friction and collision, it is our job to pick the bud. That's why I boarded the ship with my helper. Somehow there's a Holy Nation public ship that can be moved conveniently. It depends on how far we go."
Ha.
"It is our duty to negotiate with the Holy Nation. I swear to God I will never crush the face of House Morteln. I want you to take care of this place."
"I understand the situation. I can't help it. I wanted to avoid an all-out war for my men."
Pace calls herself a pacifist.
I am prepared not to quit war if it is for confectionery or to protect my homeland and my people, but I have no doubt that the person in question loves peace and wants peace.
Then the diplomat nodded that if the members of the kingdom of God, including the Morteln family, could be kept in mediation and find a drop where they could reap fruitful profits, then there would be no more than that.
"Thank you for your understanding. So, what about you?
The Count turns back to Isaac when he talks to Pais. Of course, there are no more types of restraints. The Count certainly knows Isaac, and he knows that he is one of the thirteen masters.
Therefore, he treated the Holy Nation with a particularly polite attitude.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but if there's a misunderstanding, it's not too hard to solve it."
Isaac thinks about the current situation.
Whatever you think, it's definitely a winning story.
The contents of the safe we just took from the Morteln family remain hidden by our men. Perhaps the upper echelons of the Holy Nation arranged for them to be hidden. From the atmosphere of the second ship, there seems to be a sense of relief.
In other words, it would be good if the country could buy time to move around with obscurantism and even clear the minimum negotiation line.
Below the minimum negotiation line is, for example, the recognition that the Morteln family has “ownership of the dragon eggs”.
Secure the treasure in the Holy Nation. The lowest line is to move to make it happen. Worst case scenario is that both of the public vessels on the scene have been captured in Panama and will be able to inspect the people and luggage inside.
Conversely, the lowest line in the status quo is to stay away from this scene anyway. It also means that if you do money and honor, you can make quite a concession.
"Let's hear both sides. I swear, I will make a fair judgment, so I want you to talk to each other."
The Count admitted that the meeting had been concluded and listened to both sides.
Well, from us.
Fortunately, Isaac starts to speak up about his opinions.
It is true that they were pretending to be merchant vessels for the mission, but it is a defensive measure to protect your Isaac and a disguise in the city.
Pace won't say anything about this. With regard to vessels disguised as merchant vessels, the control is the responsibility of the Bombino family.
On the other hand, Pace's claims are also clear.
"Our claim is simple. In the capture of“ arsonists ”and" thieves of sacrifices ”in King's Landing and the“ recapture of sacrifices. "
As a Morteln family, the highest priority should be to recover stolen goods. If this cannot be done, it will be a real loss, and the Morteln family, the royal family of the kingdom of God, the Duke of Cadrecek, and the Bombino family will all be destroyed. I strongly insisted on it as a condition of absolute unacceptability.
On top of that, secure the criminals.
This is also a demand that we want to achieve in order to protect the dignity of the nobility.
However, if it is to satisfy the preceding conditions, concessions are also possible.
Retaliate the culprit against the entire Holy Nation. Of course, Pace never talks about it.
"Looks like he was in custody a while ago, but does that mean he's Isaac?
"Yes, our safe has been discovered in search of this ship. Definitely stolen from King's Landing, so he stole it."
Pace points his finger at the perpetrator. Of course, I was pointing to the Wizard of the Holy Nation.
That's the end of the story. That's why I can't negotiate.
Isaac also argues strongly against Pace's logic.
"That's not true. The safe was occasionally acquired in the city. I bought it out of rarity, but I didn't know it was stolen. If the evidence is truly stolen, I am prepared to return it."
"Someone brought it to the Nigerian in half a day after it was stolen in King's Landing and bought it from there? That's impossible."
But as a matter of fact, it's here.
"That's because you stole it."
"I categorically deny it. Even if the safe was stolen, is it definite evidence that we stole it?"
"... mmm"
After a fresh reopening, Pace now finds herself trapped in words.
In fact, when asked whether there is definite evidence, the answer is no.
There is a stolen safe, apparently in a situation that would not have been possible without a wizard, and there is a wizard with good legs and famous movements in front of him. No matter what you think, there is no killer but the morning wizard, but there is no reliable evidence, such as being a witness to the killer or a relic. Situational evidence only.
The stolen, non-stolen watercraft theory begins, and Pace tells you to pay for the stolen goods, or send each ship if you don't have the money. In that case, Isaac told him to pay for the return.
Pace said that there should have been eggs in the safe, and Isaac was stunned that she didn't know about them. She insisted that she would give me all the eggs on the boat, insisting on innocence.
Eventually, hustle and bustle arguments are fought and each other's arguments come together.
Hmm, let's make a final decision.
The Count looks at both and confirms his intentions.
"I want you to hand over all the eggs and safe belonging to this convoy to the Morteln family. The Holy Nation has no objection to the use of eggs for damages. Both acknowledge that someone was trying to take out the stolen goods, but hold the culprit accountable with solid evidence. Is that good enough for you?
"Yes"
No, thank you.
Regarding the “recapture of stolen goods”, the return of the safe is not a zero result. They said they would continue to cooperate with each other in the investigation. I almost dropped it around here.
More than handing over all the eggs in the public ship, there may be dragon eggs inside. If the likelihood is not zero, you can argue that you should have recovered it first. The members of the upper echelons of the kingdom of God are now well preserved.
Even if they criticize me for having been stolen, no, no, I should have recovered it, because I can say that I'm investigating it now.
In some cases, it is true that the safe was stolen, and you may affirm that you have recovered the stolen items. There was no match for a definitive recall of all the stolen goods, but the prospect is the conclusion of the status quo.
As far as Isaac was concerned, he knew that there were no dragon eggs in the pile of eggs, but the Morteln and Bombino didn't know that, so he negotiated as if there were eggs in it. I was just smiling when it worked.
There was no reliable evidence of the “killer's captivity."
It can be argued that the Bombino and Morteln families have succeeded in capturing the killer more than once after capturing Isaac. It can only be said that the evidence is insufficient and that he was released with political considerations.
The Morteln family's quest for “criminal restraints” and “stolen goods" was accomplished with the vagueness of what remains. The Count of Mediators nods with judgment.
"I will compensate the Bombino family for the deception of the ship's registry from the Holy Nation as decided earlier. However, compensation for the use of force against a public ship shall be allocated as part of the compensation. And don't challenge this decision in the future. Are you sure you want both of them?
"Yes"
Good.
Even if Isaac had originally claimed the confiscation of all public ships, it would have been within the scope of concessions if it had been settled by compensation.
It would be a bit painful to spend, but I'm satisfied that my bosses are going to stick their butts in.
Finally, a promise was made that there would be no objections in the future so that they would not be flipped over in future negotiations, or so that compensation would not be exchanged.
Okay, here's the deal.
Pace and Isaac looked at each other with sparks and signed three documents with the same content.
