Chapter 17: Childish Negotiation (Part 2)

"Pleiades, why didn't you say a word to you, who specially invited me to the reception room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

With a slight swing of his wrist, Kursiu turned the cup of strong tea, and sat on the sofa with a slender figure and an elegant demeanor. Sometimes I have to admit that I always like women who wear knight clothes, and once I calm down and look at it, I really have a special charm that ordinary women don't have.

Shaking his head again and again, throwing out the thoughts that he shouldn't have, Caiyue Pleiades, who had been thinking deeply, said: "Regarding the security incident that happened in the Merthers territory, Kurxiu should know about it. ”

"Yes. Kurxiu nodded, and said without hesitation: "I received the news two days ago. How do you know?"

The reason for this question was that the news had not yet spread in the royal capital, and it was better known that the streets of Livons, which led to the territory of Merthers, were impassable due to the white fog.

"I have some of my own news channels. Natsuki smiled smugly, attracting the other party's attention, and this good start made him look forward to the next progress.

"Okay. Kurxiu put down the teacup in his hand, clasped his hands crossed, and his posture was slightly straight, "You who know the news, specially proposed a meeting with me, what are your expectations?" ”

"Yes, according to the information I received, the group of people of the Witch Sect are planning to attack Rozval's territory. In order to defeat them, he wanted to use the power of Lord Kursius. Caiyue confessed the news cleanly, and he had no intention of hiding it from the beginning.

"I see, Witch Sect?" Kurxiu nodded, his face smiling all the time he kept smiling.

Both of them seemed to fall silent, and Caiyue was secretly anxious about Kurxiu's simple words, which was different from what he expected.

"What's the matter, just go on, after all, this is the scene where the Pleiades should speak. Kuerxiu, who seemed to have put the initiative in the hands of the other party, tilted his head with a smile, but it made the swaying Caiyue Pleiades quite embarrassed.

"That's it...... That's what I just said. ”

"Isn't it possible, all you want to say is to make a request?" Kurxiu blinked his eyes with a smile, and then closed them as if he felt bored, "The reason for your request, the result you want to achieve, what conditions can be provided for this, and whether such conditions can satisfy me!!"

"If you don't make these things clear, you can't talk about negotiations! ”

"I'm sorry, that's rude. That, anyway, I don't have any negotiation experience like this......" Clenched his fists on his knees unwillingly, and Natsuki lowered her head in frustration.

"It is also necessary to understand your own immaturity and not to care. However, the negotiation lasted only twenty minutes. I hope you don't forget that. ”

Kuerxiu, who was both graceful and powerful, once again let Caiyue Pleiades understand the gap between him and the other party.

"Yes, thank you. Natsuki nodded, trying to clear her thoughts, "The combat power in the Merthers territory is insufficient, and it is not enough to fight against the Witch Sect, or because there are too many purposes to protect, which leads to the dispersion of combat power. That's why I hope that Master Kursius will help Amilia. ”

"And then?" said Kurxiu looked at Caiyue Pleiades indifferently.

Of course, Emilia is also prepared with enough sincerity, and after defeating the Witch Cult, Master Kurxiu can sit down with Emilia and slowly discuss the conditions. I believe that Emilia, who has kept her people, will never refuse the request of Master Kursius. ”

"It seems like a good condition. An unknown smile appeared on his lips, and Kursius said, "When I first correct you two things. ”

Kursius held out two fingers forward, "First, it is the lord's duty to protect the territory. In the same way, a lord who fails to do this is a dereliction of duty. Do you know what this means for Amilia, how can the Chosen One, who has no means and force to protect her people, convince everyone that she can carry the whole country?"

"Second, since Natsuki is negotiating on behalf of Lord Emilia, you need to be careful about what you say and do, and feel free to say your promises, what if what I want is Lord Emilia's territory as a reward?

"Because...... Because of Kursius, you're not that kind of person. The panicked Natsuki found a reason for himself, and he realized that the situation he was facing was that he was negotiating with another opponent who wanted to be king.

"Thank you very much for your trust. Kurxiu smiled slightly, but he took away the tenderness, "But negotiation is negotiation, such immature emotional arguments, I hope I don't hear it again." ”

"I'm sorry. Caiyue, who lowered her head again, felt the soreness of her nails embedded in her palm.

"It's time. Kursius lowered his slender legs, "I'm sorry, the Karsten family rejected Amilia's proposal to lend her combat power. ”

The speech as if a sentence had been pronounced made the panicked Caiyue Pleiades raise her head and look at Kur Xiu, who was completely different from the one in the usual days. The posture of the girl in front of her was very similar to the scene when she spoke in the king's election, subduing everyone's majesty and unquestionable courage.

As if cooperating, Cat Ear Niang stepped forward and said, "Lord Kurxiu, Your Excellency Russell is waiting next door, and he said that there are a few last things before leaving, and I still need to confirm with you. ”

"Yes, I see. Kuerxiu, who turned to leave, didn't look at Caiyue anymore.

With a frustrated loss, Natsuki had to leave the Kurxiu Mansion and try to delete the friends around her who could help her. He managed to find the mansion of Rheinharut, but was told by the servants who stayed behind that his master had left for the south of the kingdom two days ago.

He will be joined by Lord Firut and her family, but unlike the Juggernaut, they will return directly to the Rheinharut home and wait for the Juggernaut to return and join him after the mission.

The loss of a potential ally once again made Natsuki even more impatient, and this emotion was even conveyed to Rem beside him.

"Pleiades, why don't we find a place to rest?" Rem suggested herself, and even she felt the strong posture of the other party.

"Wait, there's another person, you can try it!" patting his cheek with his palm, the refreshed Caiyue Pleiades looked at the bright sky on the horizon, a little reluctant to let time pass.

"Okay. Rem nodded, and continued to follow the other through the streets of the royal capital.

The footsteps of the two came to the other side of the SC area, and the next person that Natsuki wanted to visit was Priscilla, who had had several contacts.

When they arrived at the mansion, they came out to greet them in place of their masters, and it was really Al, who was quite kind to them. faintly guessed the possibility of the other party's identity, and Cai Yue unconsciously started talking to the other party.

"Al, Anyway, the house Priscilla lives in is too luxurious. Walking through the corridors, Caiyue's gaze swept over the high-priced artworks around her from time to time, and then thought of the exterior of the mansion that was gorgeous enough to pierce the eyes of a dog.

"Ah, this one! Miss Princess has her own understanding of aesthetics. Al, who was also distressed by this, patted Caiyue's shoulder with empathy, he could understand the other party's trembling feeling of walking in the golden house. The things you see and the tools you use are all high-cost products. Even he himself often feels twisted by living here.

"Don't look at the mansion, it only took ten days to complete it. ”

"Ten days?!" Cai Yue said in disbelief, this kind of thing that goes against common sense can only happen in another world.

"After all, Miss Princess likes full-fledged, high-speed engineering! Although she sympathizes with the group of people who work day and night, she should not complain if she throws the money bag in their faces. ”

"Huh. "Natsuki, who has already felt the hostess's bad taste, is convinced that if it were Priscilla's woman, she would definitely do something like smashing people with money bags. Damn, Priscilla is such a rich woman.
