The only emperor of the Firmament Empire on the continent of Tynach, Taylor II, Sugasus Gilp Taylor, is in secret talks with his eldest son, Prince Wilson. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You mean, Daini's little mischievous ran away to the Duchy of Etis? Why did you tell me now! And you haven't brought her back safely? Are you and your men stupid?" the angry septuagenarian scolded his son with great shock and worry.

"It's indeed my dereliction of duty, I have already sent more people to look for the traces of the imperial sister, but because it is in the territory of the enemy country, we cannot act on a large scale, because that will put the imperial sister in a disadvantageous state. The eldest prince also explained worriedly, but judging by the face of this prince, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him the old prince.

Because the old emperor gave birth to children early and had a good physique, he was particularly tough, so he let his sons stay in the prince's position for decades, and it seems that they may stay for decades.

The youngest prince is now in his early forties, and the eldest prince is even about to enter his sixties.

"Okay, I know that little naughty is not something you can cure, it's all my fault that I spoiled her to heaven, and when he comes back, I will discipline her well, maybe it's time to find a suitable husband for her...... Let Charlie take care of this, and now you come with me to meet with Grand Master of the Dark Warband, and see what else he has to say. The old emperor rubbed his helpless forehead, and could only temporarily put aside his concern for his youngest daughter and go to meet the long-awaited leader of the Dark Warband.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

"This emperor's shelf is really big, let's waste so much time in vain!" Herbert, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark Warband, mocked in a tone.

"Be careful, Sir Herbert, this is the center of the Empire after all, and you are talking about the leader of this country, although the warband is not afraid of the Empire, but that is also after the plan is completed. One of the Four Heavenly Kings with a deep voice, Edward calmly stopped Herbert's sarcasm.

And the Grand Master, who was sitting among them, was still that taciturn and cold, and his presence seemed to lower the temperature of this empty room by a little.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps gradually approached.

"His Majesty the Emperor declares you! Before the person arrived, the voice was already heard.

When the figure also came in front of the three of them, the herald made a gesture of please, "Please!

At this time, Baron Horn finally opened his winter-like eyes and slowly got up without saying a word.

Just as the two Four Heavenly Kings also wanted to follow, the herald stretched out his hand to block them, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty only received His Excellency the Grand Master, please wait here." ”

The faces of the Heavenly Kings immediately became ugly, and in their opinion, the little characters who spoke disrespectfully were simply insulting them.

"Wait for me here. Baron Horn finally opened his mouth, but this cold sentence only made the few people present completely feel that this place had entered the cold winter season, and even the low-strength herald unconsciously began to swing.

But he still tried his best to maintain the majesty of the royal squire, and did not flinch at all.

Baron glanced at the herald lightly, his mouth slightly open, "Lead the way!"

“… Yes..."

Soon, the Grand Master disappeared from Edward and Herbert's eyes.

……

When Baron came to a green garden full of life, he ignored the herald behind him and walked straight to the depths of the garden that gave him a bad feeling.

"Oh, Your Excellency, Grand Master, you're here, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long, the state is busy, please bear with me, oh, hahaha. ”

After feeling the arrival of a cold wave, the old emperor, who was in high spirits, put down the flower shovel in his hand and stood up, and at the same time invited Baron to enter a pavilion to do so.

The eldest prince also waved his hand, and anxiously followed the herald behind Baron to leave.

"Please. The eldest prince Wilson walked up to Taylor II and asked Baron to sit down.

It's just that the two men at the top of the pyramid who sat down were completely silent at this moment.

Baron's eyes were half-closed, motionless like a thousand-year-old piece of ice, and Taylor II, who was sitting across from him, was also smiling, drinking unknown flower tea, leisurely.

Only the eldest prince stood there, adding tea to his father from time to time.

Finally, when the sun was about to set, the old emperor slowly raised his head, glanced at the infinitely beautiful sunset, and put down the clear teacup.

"Grand Master, it's getting late, and Your Majesty has to go back to deal with the backlog of official documents, please go back. The eldest prince also said to the ice cube very tacitly at this time.

"When's the troops?" Baron felt that the time was almost up.

"It's up to you to make this a point, and I can't help you in any way. The old emperor put away the smile on his face and replied with a faint majesty.

Baron nodded undeniably.

And the eldest prince seemed to know that this would be the case, and respectfully changed a new cup of tea to his father, and at the same time filled Baron's already cold cup.

"I already understand your plan, and the Empire is willing to help you as a friend, but I don't see half of your sincerity, Grand Master. ”

The old emperor looked at the late time, as if he had forgotten what the eldest prince had just said, to review the official documents, maybe it was normal for them to start formal negotiations at this time.

"The whole northern province, plus the previously agreed vassals, the kingdom of Desper, the kingdom of Cowsalbe. Baron didn't talk nonsense, and directly offered extremely tempting conditions.

It's a pity that Taylor II, who is opposite, hooked the corners of his mouth and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Baron also sat there coldly without saying a word.

It seems as if the negotiations, which have not been a few sentences in total, have once again reached an impasse, and there is no room for any more.

However, the two treacherous rulers knew that it was only the beginning, and although they didn't say anything on the surface, they had already begun to fight each other secretly, and it was still very intense.

As the minutes passed, the tea in the cup in front of them also changed wave after wave, and they all knew that whoever spoke first in this negotiation would be the loser about the future situation on the mainland.

Therefore, on the key interests, neither of them is willing to make concessions.

Taylor II, whose face was calm, kept watching the rising star in front of him, and a feeling of heroic twilight arose.

The rising star in front of him is so good, and none of his sons can compare with each other.

And for this completely incomprehensible opponent, no one even knows his purpose, his desires, everything about him seems to be a mystery.

Cooperating with this kind of person is like walking a tightrope above the abyss, there is a possibility of falling into the abyss at any time, but on the other end of the tightrope, there is a prize that people absolutely cannot give up.

This kind of insecurity is very uncomfortable for the old emperor who is used to holding all the hole cards in his hand, although the other party also does not know what his hole cards are.

But he found that he really couldn't block the bait thrown by the opponent, and he had to play his cards first.

Finally, Taylor II, who sighed, said helplessly, "Young man, greed is a good thing, but it is not a good habit. ”

Then he gave his son a look. And the eldest prince immediately took out a map of the Tenach continent from under the stone table and spread it on the table.

It's just that, even at this moment, Baron is still cold as a stone, and there is no reaction.

However, Taylor II didn't care about this, although he is now at the bottom of the negotiations, it does not mean that he has completely lost the initiative, to know the future of the dark warband, without his own help, it is just an illusion.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the old emperor's face again, and he raised his thin finger and solemnly and gently placed it on a place on the map.

And Baron, who was squinting, also looked at the other party's point, and then frowned imperceptibly.

But it only took him a breath before he returned to his original form, and then stiffly spat out a biting word.

"Yes. ”

"Hahaha, young man, this is just my minimum request, you must know what you say, I have to use a real knife and a real gun, and I will go thousands of miles to get it. Although the old emperor was smiling, the displeasure in his tone was also vivid, "If you can't resist my sword, maybe you'll regret trading with me!"

It's just that Baron faced the old emperor's towering mountains, but the momentum of the superior was not moved at all.

"Okay, now that our deal is over, I think the Grand Master will have a lot of things to deal with, and I can't keep up with the energy when I'm old, so I won't send you. Oh, by the way, please remember that if the progress of the warband is not satisfactory to me, then the empire will not do anything substantial. ”

"It's getting late, I wish you good news soon. ”

With that, Taylor II got up and prepared to leave the pavilion.

And Baron, who was left alone in the garden, just sat there quietly, like an ice sculpture.
