Chapter 15 Cooling-off Period for Negotiations
The discussion about the gods ended in displeasure.
Of course, this is also in Kirde's expectations. If it were them, they would never allow the gods on the Goddess's side to enter the Demon King Continent in order to deal with Rossos - but then again, it was also because the gods on the Demon King's side were living within their sight. It was hard for them to imagine what it would be like to deal with a god on their own.
In his room, Kyald sighed wearily and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
Letting the gods of the Demon King come to the Goddess Continent will require the two sides to spend a certain amount of time engaged in a tug-of-war, and finally both sides will make some degree of concession before it can be achieved. In fact, they had all the plans they had agreed on before they came here, and the greatest concessions they could make were all listed in their minds - but they couldn't have come up with them in the first place.
"Kyo." Bianko sat beside him, reached out to help him press the temples on either side of his head, and spoke to him softly, "Does your head hurt?" β
The girl's slightly cool fingers relieved the swelling and boredom in her head, and Kyled simply lay down on Bianko's lap. Leaving aside Morfi's attitude, the rooms they offer are comfortable enough, at least the beds are quite soft.
"It's a hassle to deal with these people." "They don't have the same way as the nobles, so they can't use the same tricks to deal with the nobles...... And they won't think about our identity, power, influence, etc., in the Demon King Continent. β
"They don't want Lord Avos over." Bianko blinked, "Why can'tβ"
Kryd's index finger rested on Bianko's lips, stopping her words.
"Any negotiation takes time." "If we come up with a satisfactory solution right away, then they will wonder if we will have another way forward, or they will get an inch because we are too easy to back down β we have to show our attitude." β
His fingers ran away from Bianco's lips, ran across her cheeks, and inserted his hand into her hair. He propped his other hand on the bed and lifted his body up. Biancole bowed her head in obedience, and was held by Kylde in exchange for their breath and saliva. When Bianko came back to her senses, she could see nothing but Kyalde's face and the white ceiling of the room.
"Time is of the essence." Kayld leisurely moved his hand back to Bianko's face, rubbing it for a while, "Time can let people know our attitude, and it can also give each other a chance to think calmly." It's true that we're here to 'ask' them, but we're not the only ones who have a choice. We also had enough confidence to find other people to work with, and the reason why we chose Molfi-Fili was only because they were a relatively better choice. β
He stared intently at Biankom and decided to put it aside for now.
"That's enough for you today." He propped his body on his elbows, his hands kneading Bianko's soft cheeks, "Remember them first, then think about them later......"
Kyild leaned down and kissed Biancolt again, this time he wasn't going to stop thereβthey shouldn't stop doing anything they could just because they weren't at home, and if they waited until they got back and taught slowly, the parents would be even more anxious than the two of them about their lack of progress.
"This is the real aristocracy, these families on this side of the Goddess Continent are nothing at all."
The silver-haired mercenary threw herself into her chair, her arms crossed over her chest, and although her mouth seemed to give her admiration, her expression and tone did not match what she had said.
Her listener didn't respond to her, just thoughtfully took her a glass of warm water and set it aside, and walked back to the bedside herself.
"I obviously know what each other means, but this kind of curved process still has to be followed." Rhines grinned, "Hell, they're not in as much of a hurry as they say they are." β
"You didn't believe that they were really rushing to us."
The blonde man's words earned him a fierce glare, and he touched his nose and closed his mouth in understanding.
"It's not that they have to cooperate, and the fools of the church are already on their side." "But if we can work with them, they can save a lot of trouble, and of course, we too." β
"It doesn't sound like your point is whether or not their gods are really coming." Apaya mused, "I thought your previous disagreement was here. β
Reins gave her lover a smirk.
"That's one of the problems, but since the fools of the church can accept this, it means that they at least have some way to ensure that there will be no more war between the gods. And, as the nobleman had said, the current barrier couldn't completely stop the gods, and it would be easy for them to break an enchantment of this magnitude if they wanted to. β
The silver-haired mercenary rose from her chair, her bare feet on the soft carpet, and she stretched widely.
"So what's the reason you can't work together now?" Apaya sat on the bed, looking at her body lines in fascination, and asked casually, "Since there is no need to worry about the gods attacking, it is beneficial for both parties to cooperate with them." β
Reins slowly walked up to Apaya, bent down sharply and squinted at it. After a few seconds, she unceremoniously pushed Apaya down on the bed, propping herself on the ground with one leg on the ground, the other leg bent on the side of the bed, and her arms pressed against the sides of Apaya's head, a pair of red eyes inadvertently flowing with a hint of seduction.
"Have you used your brains, Your Excellency?" She quipped, "You can ask a question of this magnitude?" β
"Hmm......" his gaze stayed on the other man's neck down, "what's the problem?" β
Reins raised an eyebrow, straightened up, and simply allowed herself to climb onto the bed and sit on Apaya's stomach.
"I noticed one thing." She dragged out her tone, "You don't even know what you're talking about, your whole mind is focused on something completely unrelated to something important. β
Apaya raised an eyebrow as she did, and he didn't seem to care about the accusation at all, and even folded his hands behind his head and lay comfortably on the bed.
"Well, since you say so." He said lazily, "Let's not discuss your delay in getting down to business for the sake of face and other issues. β
Reins snorted and looked at him with a slightly dissatisfied look.
"And what do you want to discuss?"
Apaya didn't answer her directly, just slowly stroked Rheinse's thigh, and little by little moved it to her waist. Reins watched his movements for a moment, and when the air around them warmed up, she abruptly left Apaya.
"I think I should go to Shao and talk about the next arrangement." The mercenary said solemnly, "For example, how often we should start softening our attitudes, and whether we should bring up the next conversation or wait for themβ"
Her words were druffled in by the impatient Engineer, and a smug look flashed in her eyes, and when Apaya let go of her, she continued to push her in.
"Aren't you happy?" Reins pretended to be surprised and asked, "You Morphy are obviously very positive about the affairs of the Demon King Continent, I finally think that those people can be put to believe it, and plan to talk to them according to Morfi's intentions, you should support me." β
Apaya grinded her teeth faintly, which made the mercenary even more pleasant.
"Pay attention to your words, what do you mean by 'we Morfi'?" He asked, "Either count me as yours or count yourself as if I'm on the opposite side of you." β
Reins shrugged, and she wrapped her arms around Apaya's neck and leaned softly into his arms.
"I think you've been tossed a little nervous." She said sweetly, "I'm afraid I'll exclude you from the circle because of this incident?" β
Appaya rolled his eyes, no matter how angry he was with the mercenary, he wouldn't be stupid enough to push Rhines out of his arms.
"Thanks to you." There was an irrepressible mockery in Apaya's tone, "I'm really worried that one day I'm going to suddenly be kicked by you for something I haven't had time to justify myselfβboth objectively and subjectively. β
Rhines couldn't help but laugh, and her smile clearly "provoked" Appaya in some way, and under the condemning glare, the mercenary slowly suppressed the curvature of the corners of his mouth and coughed twice in a fake way.
"I don't think I'm going to be so vexatious." "Before a person is convicted of a crime, there is always a chance to defend himself." β
Appaya looked like he wanted to say something, but he paused for a second and changed what he was about to say.
"I think if I dare to make any effort to prove it, I'll be kicked out by you, even if it's my room." He said dryly, "Well, then, I want to offer you favor so that I can get your favor - how about that?" β
Reines laughed heartily at what he said, and she decided to let go of the slightest hint of her bad temper for the time being.
"That's good." She pondered symbolically for a few seconds, "I think I can go back to Shao after a while, Huck has also been hung by Shao for a long time these days, maybe I will run into some embarrassing scene in the past now." β
"Wise judgment." Apaya muttered as she brought her down on the bed, "I don't think there's anything else we have to do right now, and even if we do, we can wait until later." β
Reine's snickerer was swallowed up once again, and this time she didn't kick the other aside in an objective sense, as her engineer had claimed.
