214. Your Majesty, the future is ours
Oran met with a few more of the little chiefs in the morning.
They did not wear a pair of trousers with the king, and they heard from them the need for trade and shelter.
Some people even hinted that they wanted to take refuge in Orlan and recognize him as the master.
Some of these leaders were of the Anglo-Saxon race, but they had come to Calowe to take root because of years of war.
They did not see the king as a superior feudal lord, who could break away at any time.
At noon, Oran discussed the covenant with the king and the chiefs of the tribes of the kingdom, numbering more than 500 people.
The leaders of Gallowe filled three tables, and there were five on Oran's side.
Yesterday it was a friendly exchange, but today the atmosphere is a little tight.
Orlan deliberately called Rena over to accompany him, giving the other party a picture of himself already obsessed with this woman.
In order to succeed in negotiations, you need to understand the bottom line and needs of the other party, and not let the other party know what they want.
As one of the representatives, Ladd only complimented each other with the leader opposite, and did not say the main point in the whole process.
After more than two hours of delay, although the treaty on trade was negotiated, there was no mention of how to trade, which line of movement from the border, and the response of the Vikings and Scots to the common enemy.
After Orlan left with Rena, he had sex with her during the day from noon to dusk.
He did not let her go back until the evening to tell the king what she had overheard from her.
"Father, he said that he would take me back and raise me, and that soon the Anglo-Saxon princes would negotiate terms against the Vikings, both north and south, with all their might, and that his army had entered the ...... of Scotland."
King Nilfgaard listened to his daughter's message in his room.
He was concerned about Oran's words.
I am also glad that my decision to trade this daughter was the right one.
In the end, she asked her daughter to go back and hint to Orlan that it was okay to take Reyna away and to talk about more conditions, but the two had to meet privately and not let the other leaders attend.
This was Orlan's answer, and when Reyna returned to Orlan's side, she knelt before him.
"Your Excellency, you really have to take me away, otherwise one day, I will become the wife or lover of other chiefs."
The woman had teary eyes, and after Oran nodded, she wrapped her arms around Oran like a snake and whispered in her ear......
In the wee hours of the morning, Oran, under the cover of his servants, changed into servant clothes and entered the manor's food barn.
The dim space was unusually muggy, and when Ladd who followed Orlan to help light the oil lamp, he was startled when he saw the rat running to his feet and escaping!
"Your Excellency, I hope that this time we can talk about an answer that we are all satisfied with."
Orlan had already thought of his words, and with a glance at him, Ladd handed over a piece of parchment that he had hidden on his body.
When opened, it is stamped with various stamps.
"What is this?"
Nilfgaard asked the priest beside him to watch, and the man's expression changed rapidly, and he came over and whispered, only to know that this was the transfer instrument!
"It's not my enemy, it's my friend. Your Majesty, you are my friend, and I have always been sincere with my friends.
Thirty years ago Northumbria, I have brought with me all the 'Instruments of Claims' that came out of your land, and on behalf of King Ella, I renounce all 'claims of strength and weakness' and am willing to make a more friendly covenant with you.
In the afternoon, there are too many nobles at the table in your country who can speak, how can the country be stable in this way, I will help you reduce so many voices. ”
This is the heart of Nilfgaard, who is not a noble family among the Britons.
It was by destroying many tribes in Northumbria that the family was lucky to emerge.
Later, Northumbria, on the grounds of its own claims, did not give the people of the Gallowe region a good look, even if they did not attack.
Scotland also wanted Nilfgaard to make themselves suzerainty and cede the land west of Dumbarton as tribute, citing their help to the Britons.
Coupled with the Vikings' operations on the North Coast, he was now in dire need of outside help.
Otherwise, the wealth he made the other leaders blush will be destroyed in an instant.
The trade activities that he talked about at noon were national interests, and he wanted more personal interests.
Oran's words took both interests, and he was full of sincerity.
"Thank you for your kindness!"
A stone fell in the king's heart.
"I'm going to get married."
After Oran finished speaking, Ladd's heart was hot, did you want to reward that Rena to yourself?
"Rena?" The king asked.
"No, your eldest daughter, didn't you see it at the banquet?"
The king did not expect Orlan to have this daughter.
The eldest daughter was just an ordinary woman with a little emaciation, married at the age of twelve, married a chief after her husband died at the age of fifteen, and four years later the second husband died and returned to the manor.
Two husbands died, no face, and was once taken captive by the Scots.
He didn't understand what Orlan meant, but Oran compared to Ladd.
"Ladd is a loyal knight who has been the Lord of the White Eagle since my father, I trust him and give him the right to govern the people, he is the Viscount of the Kingdom, and he will become the magistrate of the county in the future, he marries your eldest daughter, this is a good match."
Rad remembered what Orlan had said, and found good nobles for several important ministers, including himself.
The Titan married Donnie's daughter, Kunsang married Otto's sister, and Nandin hadn't decided yet, so he didn't think it would be his turn suddenly......
When choosing a woman as a wife, one looks at the family, the second looks at wealth, and the third looks at morality.
Rad turned his head and immediately realized that this business was a good deal.
In the future, won't the kingdom have the final say in its trade with Gallowe?
With this consideration, the widow who died her husband twice was instantly beautiful and moving.
"I'll take good care of your daughter." Rad, who is a few years old from the king, patted his chest and promised.
"What about Rena? I can make him the daughter of his rightful wife. The king asked again.
"No, I'll take good care of her." Orlandau.
A good-looking woman is often not easy to meet her own treatment, and the title of an illegitimate daughter will let her know that she is a lover and try to keep her duty.
In this meeting, even if the king does not send a woman to the door, Oran will let Ladd marry the king.
Among all the lovers, there is not a woman like Reina, who has been trained since childhood to entertain nobles, learn to dance, music.
Emotions aside, in terms of desire, Orlan was quite satisfied, so he decided to take her away.
To talk about Reyna again is an extraneous complication.
"Do we have to pay taxes, then?" The priest beside the king asked.
"We are equal allies, I will not participate in your struggle, I can help, we share trade routes, but you must help me provide information about the landscape of Scotland and the north coast,
Our soldiers can also exchange training,
You can even send men to King's Landing in my city, and I will canonize them knights. ”
Orlan agreed, and the king readily agreed.
The two of them were on the table, using the paper brought by Oran, to write the national letter and emboss it separately.
This paper is really good, the priest touched it.
"Also, you want to suppress the sect."
"What sect?"
"The Anglo-Saxon gods, the Viking gods, God, there can be only one god in Gallowe, and my Protestantism is coming into your land."
The king and the priests could not respond to this proposal immediately, after all, they had always left everyone free to choose.
"Don't worry."
Oran took out a short version of the New Testament and showed it to the priests, explaining it as he could.
"These are written articles that will help the king rule, and will increase the king's authority, and over time, your people will know that God in the south can protect their wealth, and they will begin to believe in the Protestant Lord, just take your time."
When the sun dawned, the two finally completed all the consensus.
The king's ambition was ignited, and he did not feel tired at all.
"This is a time of opportunity, Your Majesty, the future is ours."
Orlan strode out.
