"I wonder what your domestic response is?"

After exchanging pleasantries with each other for a while, William began to get to the point, asking on behalf of the Kingdom of Tskema and King Lerna.

General Dampier did not immediately state the decision of several countries, and the Kingdom of Lillard lowered its demands after learning of the compromise of the other three forces, but General Dampier still intended to squeeze some more benefits.

It is of course best to be able to gain more from negotiating this kind of thing.

"Our results have come out, we can talk about the three you asked for, the city, the five castles and the villages and manors under them, I'm sorry, this is less than what you asked, but this is the final bottom line in our country, as for the reparations, our country is to say that we want more, after all, we have obtained less territory, at least 200,000 gold coins or 2 million no silver coins, installments are OK, but they must be paid off within ten years!"

William listened to their request, of course, knowing that this was far from the other party's bottom line, and the territory that the other party agreed to return was exactly the size of a county, which was a little comfort to the royal family.

However, he also couldn't accept that the Kingdom of Tskma was so weakened, and it was not in his interests to make the Kingdom of Tskma too weak.

Therefore, he glanced at King Lerna beside him, and after making eye contact, he said to General Dampier: "Thank you very much for your willingness to lower the price, but this condition is still not something we can afford!" ”

"This is a very big blow to most of the nobles in our country, many of them will lose their territories and the inhabitants will be displaced because of this, so I hope you can return more territory!"

In this way, William argued with the other party about this matter for four or five days.

"Your Majesty King Lerna, do you think this is the other party's bottom line?"

After a few days, there was no progress at all, and William even began to doubt whether his judgment was correct, after all, the other party's attitude was so resolute, could this really be their bottom line?

King Lerna stroked his slightly gray hair, did not speak, then took a breath, touched his neatly trimmed beard with a mixture of black and white, and said, "I don't think this is their bottom line!" ”

"Since they have gone back to China to discuss, it means that they have some scruples about us, especially what you said before, it must have made the enemy feel threatened, so they should still be asking for a price!"

King Lerna narrowed his eyes and said, "What's more, if they really don't plan to give it back to us, then fight!" ”

King Lerna was very tough, and it seemed that there was nothing he could not do for the sake of his grandson.

"Anyway, our strength is not afraid of them, I have no heir, my grandson Little Hechard is my heir, it's a big deal I'll use all my financial resources to hire mercenaries, who is afraid of whom!"

King Lerna said aloud.

William looked at the old man in front of him who could sacrifice everything for his grandson, he couldn't help but be a little moved and a little worried, he said confidently: "That's great, Your Majesty, as long as you have this attitude and can open your mouth to support me, then I will definitely be able to get the best conditions from the other party tomorrow."

William knocked lightly on the table and said with a smile on his face, "Dear His Majesty King Lerner, how about we talk more about the dinner held by Queen Dai Lin tonight?" ”

That night, William and King Lerner, as well as all the nobles who could reach the country, were present at the banquet, and many of them were saddened, for many of their families had been taken prisoner in the war.

"Oh! My dear grandson, let my grandfather hug me! ”

When King Lerna saw Prince Hechard beside Queen Daline, he immediately contacted and ran over lovingly, and then with a force, he picked up Prince Hechard, who was almost seven years old, from the ground.

"Call my grandfather!"

King Lyrna gave little Hechard a heavy kiss on the cheek and said lovingly.

"Grandfather!"

Prince Hechard let out a sweet cry, which made King Lyrna's heart extremely happy.

"Father, don't spoil him so much!"

Queen Daileen has gradually come out of the shadow of King Brolin's death, although in the dead of night she still rings the happy time between the two, but in front of outsiders and children, she has already stepped out of the shadows.

"Looking at my cute little grandson, I think of when you were young, you were also so cute, I hope that when he grows up, he can be like his father, and develop the Kingdom of Cikma and the Kingdom of the White Rose into a top power!"

When King Lerna said this, Sleepless was a little melancholy, his son-in-law can really be said to be eloquent, if it weren't for the carelessness of this war, it would really be swallowing the seas and unifying the eight wildernesses, and none of the surrounding countries could shake his edge.

But it was useless, and King Brolin died under the horse's hooves due to carelessness.

But in a moment, King Lerner realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he looked at his daughter, whose eyes were red, and knew that she remembered King Brolin again.

He hurriedly changed the subject: "Earl William is a person worthy of trust, and your vision was indeed very good at the beginning!" ”

Queen Dai Lin also knew that the occasion here was not right, so she hurriedly held back her tears and said, "Yes, when William was a baron, Brolin and I trusted him very much!" And he didn't disappoint us either! ”

At the banquet, William spoke on behalf of the royal family, appeased the nobles whose territories and families were plundered, and also set a tone in the subsequent discussion, even if the royal family lost its own territory, it was absolutely necessary to get back the territories lost by other nobles.

It is true that many royal families will even sacrifice the interests of their vassals to protect themselves, but that is when the royal authority and power are at their peak.

Now the kingdom of Tskma can almost be said to be troubled internally and externally, with external enemies eyeing the cession of territory, and inside, Prince Hechard is young, and Queen Daileen is orphaned and widowed, so of course in this case, it is necessary to make an appearance, give them favors, and make the nobles come to heart, so as to ensure that they still support the Renoan family in such a situation and maintain the rule of the Renoan dynasty.

Early the next morning, the noble legations again came to the foot of Mount Giraud, where the negotiations were held.

This time, William's attitude was very tough, and he directly told General Dampier the plenipotentiary about his bottom line, and under such a tough situation, the enemy finally agreed to the bottom line allowed in the country, and returned the three cities, six castles, and all the manors and villages under their jurisdiction.

Moreover, the families of the captured nobles also negotiated that the ransom would be reduced to one-third, and after returning the territory to the nobles, the royal family also recovered half of the county's territory and more than 200,000 people.

It is only equivalent to half of the territory controlled by the royal family Renoir family before the war, but the stormy days of the Renoan family have not officially begun.
