Chapter 184: Lance's Request
Lance asked knowingly, "Then why did Her Royal Highness deign to come?"
Miranda laughed, sat down at Lance's mat, and said, "Why, Lord Lance guessed that I would come to visit the prison, but could not guess the purpose of my visit?" Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info: It seems that I just overestimated you. β
Lance knew that Miranda was using the agitation method. But Lance also knows that in this kind of purposeful meeting, whoever gets to the heart of the issue first will lose the advantage of negotiations.
This is the basic point of negotiation, never say what is asked before the other party. Whoever speaks first is passive.
Lance decided to deliberately play dumb and disrupt Miranda's dialogue order to gain the initiative for himself: "Didn't the princess come to thank me and repay me for my 'accidental' victory and help Hitivette avoid being involved in the war?"
"No, you helped your princess Eve, I took our country to avoid war, we just take what we need, it's just a deal, how can we say thank you?"
Lance smiled slightly, but at this time, he knew in his heart that this Princess Miranda was also not a good stubble, so Lance decided to point out the topic on his own side and forced Miranda to say that he would talk about his purpose first:
"Hitivite, the 'land of flowers' in the south, is a country that is good at business. So, Princess Miranda, you're here to make a deal with me?"
Princess Miranda's face was unfazed, but there was a hint of fluctuation in her eyes. She knew that Lance was guiding herself with words.
Miranda said, "That's right, I'm here to make a deal with Lord Reims. β
Lance shook his iron chains and said, "Oh, it seems that I, a poor and dying man, still have a place that Princess Miranda likes?"
Princess Miranda knew that Lance's words seemed to belittle her identity, but in fact she was further seizing the initiative in dialogue. Lance was obviously telling himself that he was now a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water.
"Is Your Excellency Lance not afraid that the Duke of Aceh will kill you?"
"Aceh, if he wants to keep Idris, I think he'll have to beg me. β
Miranda was not convinced and said, "Please, where do you get your confidence?"
Lance said seriously: "Because I have the method of breaking the army of 100,000 demon gods. β
Miranda asked curiously, "Would you like to hear about it?"
"Listen, it's actually very simple......" Lance deliberately hung a pass, and then retracted his words pretending to be vigilant, "Princess Miranda, this is my life-saving weight, if you inquire like this, won't I have to be controlled by others?"
"It seems that Lord Lance still doesn't trust me. β
"Can Her Royal Highness give me a reason to trust you?"
Princess Miranda smiled and said, "Would Your Excellency Lance rather trust someone like Alvin who harms you than trust someone like me who wants to keep you?"
"Well......," Langston said, "It's all a transaction, not trust." As Princess Miranda and I are about to make a deal. β
Princess Miranda also sighed and said, "Well, it seems that I can't take advantage of Lord Lance at all." But it also proves that you are at least not ordinary in terms of cleverness. Okay, then I won't beat around the bush with you. Then I say my purpose. β
"Please. β
"You should know that sooner or later the matter of your marriage contract will be revealed. After today, you should not be reused on the Duke of Aceh's side. Why don't you come to serve in my kingdom of Hitivite?"
"It's not impossible to think about it. Lance responded, "But I'm curious, we haven't seen each other a few times, why does Her Royal Highness the princess love me so much?"
"If I say a woman's intuition, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it. β
Princess Miranda laughed and said, "Well, I just think your first impression on me is not ordinary. And after going through so much, I can see it. People with a stubborn and arrogant personality like you are generally a little talented. I have always cherished talents, and the more the merrier. I don't know what Lord Lance thinks. If you think about it, I can get you out right away. β
"Looks good. But ......," Lance said, "I have a question. β
"Please. β
Lance said meaningfully: "As far as I know, when a country is stable, the regent will use a loyal and obedient person. Only when there is a power crisis within me will I appoint someone like me with a sharp personality but some expertise. Her Royal Highness the Princess has recruited talents in such a way, but I am afraid that she has other plans. β
Princess Miranda was slightly stunned, and then said, "Clever." I was right. You're right. β
"What is the purpose of dare to ask?"
"Your Excellency, your attitude is unknown, and if I tell you this, will I not be subject to others. β
"Haha. Okay, then I won't ask. I can also say that to go to Hitivite, I can think about it. But I still have some worries. β
When Miranda heard this, she immediately said, "Please, I will try my best to help you solve it." β
Lance said: "This Idiris, after all, is my hometown, and my fiancΓ©e is from Menice on the border. Now that the army of the Demon God has invaded and the war has broken out again, doesn't Her Royal Highness the Princess feel a little unkind for me to leave like this?"
Miranda asked, "What do you mean, Lord Lance?"
"It's okay for me to help you. But I hope you can lend me soldiers and let me solve this crisis. β
"Borrowed soldiers?" Princess Miranda hesitated, "Your Excellency, you are a bit excessive. As you said, there is no trust between us. And I can't avoid the demon army now, how can I lend troops to you? Even if I agree, in what name will I lend you troops? Do you think my father will agree to lend troops to strangers?"
"Princess Miranda, we're the deal. Trust is always built after the first transaction. And the princess doesn't need your father's consent. Your Royal Highness, Princess, you have cultivated your strength in this way, don't you already have your own army? As long as you lend me in the name of the volunteer army, you can avoid criticism. β
Princess Miranda sighed and said, "I kind of regret that I came here today. Sir Lance, how do you know everything? Yes, I have my army, but why should I lend it to you?"
"That's the deal. Lance said, "You lend me the army to solve my worries, and I will give you service and help you solve your crisis." β
"Huh?" Princess Miranda smiled a little contemptuously, "Lance, you're really going too far. If it were you, do you think you could lend the army, or for another country? Lance, I just think you're talented, but that doesn't mean I fully approve of you right now. β
"I don't ask you to approve of me completely. Princess, I'll tell you a story. β
"Please. β
"Once upon a time there was a king, and he had two princes. One day, there was civil strife in the country, and the princes were vying for the throne, and the eldest prince chose to fight at home, because he believed that the closer he was to the center of power, the closer he was to the crown. But the little prince disagreed, so he decided to leave the country and go to a foreign country. In the end, the eldest prince was left alone in the palace and was killed by the princes. But because the little prince is abroad, the princes have no choice. Eventually, the little prince recruited troops abroad and took in exiled troops at home. In the end, they formed a large army, fought back to their homeland, and reunited. This is what dies on the inside and is born on the outside. β
Princess Miranda smiled slightly, sighed, and said, "Lance, Lance, you are not a troubadour. You know, I have the courage to make such a decision, but I don't have the guts. β
"Your Royal Highness, we all know that everything has pros and cons, and there are almost as many pros and cons. I just want to see how brave you are. If you don't have the guts, I don't want to work for you. With that, Lance turned his head and whispered to Veronica beside him.
Princess Miranda sat on the straw on the side, thinking twice and weighing the pros and cons.
Veronica whispered, "Lance, how could Miranda promise you to be a stranger?"
Lance said: "Don't worry, if she decisively refuses, I will have to think of another way." But as long as she hesitated, it was done. β
"Really?"
Lance smiled and whispered, "Of course it's true, will I lie to my wife?"
As soon as Lance finished speaking, Princess Miranda said, "Well, I'm out of the way." I promise you. β
"Well, then, may you ask the princess to write me a deed as proof? β
"Okay! β
"On one condition, though, you want the jailer to help me get out of Roxani's mouth, or we'll sign a contract with you. I'm counting on her to paint me with fire. β
