Chapter 244: Negotiation

"Tuk tuk tuk!" there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Claudia had just put on her makeup and was tidying up the back hem of her tuan, and she was not satisfied with the outfit, the skirt on her hips made an exaggerated curve behind her.

Yesterday, Lily and Marianne's skirts were very beautiful, and under the smock skirt of the cicada wing yarn was a slender skirt with a bright pattern and a close-fitting cut, and the square collar was also just right, unlike her own old-fashioned dress that turned out to be a high neck!

Come on!

It wasn't popular decades ago, okay?

Multi-layered puff sleeves make my upper body look extra strong!

The upturned skirt is like a big ass as big as a grinding disc hidden inside!

In short, Claudia was quite dissatisfied with the dress specified by the royal family, and yesterday she was able to wear her own clothes, but unfortunately today is a formal occasion for negotiations, and she must wear a retro dress.

The person who came was the general secretary of the trip, the inner steward from the palace, Mr. Annan, a special man, a castrated Borian.

Once a slave, now one of the most trusted officials of His Majesty the Emperor.

After Annan entered the room, he waved his hand to signal the maids to leave, and only when Claudia was left left, he said in his characteristic voice: "Miss Claudia, the second prince has invited Mr. Jacques and Miss Lily to participate in the negotiation today. ”

"Ah, why, is this in order?"

"Strictly speaking, there are some violations, so you need to make a request to Mayor Hoffa, and he probably won't refuse, just add two more people to the audience, and you just want them to give some advice. ”

"Alright, Mr. Annan, please tell the second prince, and I will cooperate. ”

......

Earlier, Marianne's estate.

"What, invite us to the negotiations!"

"Yes, Mr. Jacques, this is an invitation from the Special Envoy, please leave with Miss Lily as soon as possible, negotiations will begin at ten o'clock!"

"Oh......"

The two discussed quietly in the car.

Lily quietly asked Jacques, "Could it be that our participation in the founding of the Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom has been exposed?"

Jacques looked solemn and said, "I suspect that it is! One of the representatives who came to York City to participate in the negotiations this time was a spy planted by other forces. ”

Lily's eyes were surprised: "How do you know?"

He promised his father not to tell anyone about the Mithril Society and Storm, as well as one of the negotiators, but he could only explain: "It's an organization related to my father, and the spies they planted, I can't be sure if they are friends or foes, and if the news leaks, that spy is the most suspicious." ”

Lily thought thoughtfully: "It's the organization that asked you to go to the Northern Regions to join, it's really powerful, those negotiators are all upper-level people in the Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom, but I didn't expect it to be spies of that organization." ”

"My father also wanted me to join in and participate in a competition. ”

"You promised?"

"Not yet, get back to him before the summer......"

......

The two Grandmasters, Brute Bull and Blood Moon, entered the negotiation room with the other members of the negotiating team, Froll, Selffort, Chief Alternate, and Sandora, as well as the only Imperial Man who was the most eye-catching.

Upon entering the room, the bull quickly glanced at the other party's negotiators, only to froze and cause Chandler to crash into his broad back.

However, the people behind him reacted even more, and Selfou directly said in a lost voice: "Ya...... Mr. Jacques, why are you here?"

Jacques covered his face, and poked himself out as soon as he met!

Hoffa immediately asked, "Mr. Brute, do you know Mr. Jacques?"

Jacques hurriedly said: "A few months ago, Lily and I traveled to Zidilan and met some Sioux friends, but I didn't expect to meet here again.

Grandmaster Brute Bull and Grandmaster Blood Moon, the two of you haven't seen each other for a long time, I was invited by the special envoy to attend, and we will get together again when the negotiations are over. ”

Everyone was down to business, and after Jacques explained, no one said much about the situation, and they all sat down and began to discuss the topic.

Only the clerk sitting next to Jacques bit his pen and squinted at Jacques next to him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

- Interesting, you can also meet local powerful people when traveling, this kid is not simple.

He didn't know the churning in Jacques's heart beside him, and he must not let people find out the connection between himself and Martin, otherwise the matter of saving Martin would be suspicious of him. Fortunately, Marianne helped clean up the beginning and end of the Medis and clear the relevant records of the unknown Martin he had hired, so there probably would be no loopholes.

The negotiations went well, in fact, the terms of the two sides had been tentatively agreed on a few months earlier, and Hoffa dared to submit the first draft to the emperor.

It should be that Huo Fa did a good job of figuring out the intentions, and the emperor approved the first draft in its entirety, so that there was no temporary request to revise the treaty after the envoy arrived.

Claudia is really like what she says, just a microphone, coming and walking around the form.

As for the second prince disguised as a clerk, it was the emperor who arranged for him to have more contact with Claudia to enhance their relationship, and the round-trip trip of nearly three months could allow the two young people to fully understand.

Of course, by the way, to see the situation in the New World is also one of the purposes of his trip.

Marianne's speculation was also correct, Claudia would marry the crown prince.

But it was not Claudia, chosen by the emperor, but the second prince FranΓ§ois himself who proposed it to the Marquis of Schweiger as a link in the alliance between the two sides.

There are only a few people in this world who know that the second prince is the heir in the emperor's mind, the future crown prince.

Because he has always advocated strengthening the imperial power, before he is full-fledged, the emperor will not announce the candidate for the crown prince, but has made a very much pampered performance of the eldest prince.

This made the civilian politicians in the imperial capital generally believe that the emperor's last choice should be the eldest prince who is as gentle as him, and in the future it will be the moderate emperor who will sit in the center, and the second prince of the hardline royalist party will become the prince to defend the imperial family.

Everyone went on with peace and joy.

Those who stand in high positions have long felt the wind of change, and know that once this wind blows, no one will be spared in the entire empire.

Jacques, who had not yet felt the wind of change, was carefully studying the negotiation delegation of the Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom on the opposite side to determine who was the outer disciple of the Mithril Society.

Looking at the familiar faces, he felt the great strength of the Mithril Society for the first time.

The first to suspect are Selffort, Sandra, and Chandler, all of whom have experience of living in the Empire, and according to their father, the Mithril Society has a weak presence in the New World.

But it can't be ruled out that others are possible.

How should I get along with the Mithril Society? Although my father is wanted by the Mithril Society, he seems to want to return very much, and wants to make himself compete for the president!

However, from the words of his father and Twenty-Three, it seems that his mother's early death is related to Mithril, but his father never reveals the slightest reason for his mother's death.

In Jacques's thoughts, the negotiations were over and the signing began.

Sure enough, strength will be recognized.

With the revival of the Lake God, the Silver Dragon Kingdom will be able to break away from the Empire and become independent, and the Empire will not bother to talk to the rebels of Draenor, even if they hold important hostages.

It seems that Moratti's road to independence is still a long way off, and perhaps they will experience repression and retaliation from the empire until they have the strength to compete with the empire.
