158 negotiations

On the fifth day after the return of the messenger sent by Anka, the Kalan Empire finally decided to negotiate with Anka in the capital of the neutral nation of San Seca.

Ankka didn't show much concern when he heard that the other party was the first princess to attend in person, he stood in front of the mirror and looked at Sodeyith behind him and asked, "How about this dress?" ”

Sodeyith looked at it briefly and said, "Is this any different from what you usually wear?" ”

"Do you have any recommendations?"

"Why don't you let me go! After all, the other party is just a team led by Wang Nu to negotiate, will it be a little bad if you go! ”

"It's just a negotiation, what do you do if you don't fall or not? Once you've finished speaking, it's good to agree, and if you don't agree, you can continue another day. ”

Sodeeth took out a red uniform from his closet that had been washed repeatedly and had faded a little, and said, "Why don't you wear this?" Be more formal. ”

Ankh caught a glimpse of the uniform, looked at the extravagant gold threads and various symbolic patterns of the mighty ruler on it, shook his head, and said, "Let's do it anyway!" ”

Anka and Sodeyi then rode the dragon to the largest church in the Golden City of Divine Word the next morning.

The saint, dressed in a white silk robe, stood on a high platform with a wooden hammer and a balance in her hand, and looked at the two of them.

Ankha said, "Sorry to interrupt. ”

The saint smiled and said, "It's okay, I also love to see the precious peace come." ”

It was only at noon that the First Princess, dressed in the same modest clothes as Anka, but without leading any of her entourage.

Ankka and the Holy Maiden could clearly feel the fluctuations of magic that suddenly began to flow around them as she walked in.

After the princess sat down across from Anka, the saint struck the table with a wooden hammer and announced the start of the negotiations.

The princess was the first to speak: "Mr. Anka, please say your request!" ”

"I hope that Kahlan can cooperate with Kades on an equal footing and apologize and make amends for the previous colonization of Kades."

"It may be difficult to apologize and make amends, and the country will be very excited about this kind of thing."

Ankh looked at her and said, "In that case, maybe we don't have anything to talk about, so let's let those soldiers stay in Racean for a few more days!" ”

The princess stopped Anka and said, "Maybe we can talk about it again, your time won't be so tight!" ”

After Sodeeth nodded to Anka, Ankka returned to his seat and said, "I don't think there's anything to talk about if you don't compensate Kades. ”

"It is possible to negotiate, but this amount is ......"

After hearing this, Ankh said directly: "Fifty thousand gold coins!" ”

Sodeyith whispered, "Your Majesty is too much! ”

The saint also looked at the two of them with some concern, and looked at Ankh from time to time, as if hoping that Ankh would not be so greedy.

The princess deliberately let out a surprised voice and said, "In that case, every Kalan will have to pay their wages for this month, maybe you will starve many people to death because of this decision!" ”

"If the people are starved to death, it can only show the incompetence of the rulers, and the grain in your nobles' warehouses is about to rot!"

"If you say that, can you guarantee that your people will not starve to death?"

"Hmph, the amount of grain produced in a year by the cadets can provide a month's worth of life for the people of the whole country."

"But 50,000 gold coins is indeed a bit more, how about 30,000?"

After a few hours of arguing between the two, Ankh finally relented and said, "Okay, it's only 30,000 gold coins, but we will release those soldiers after we get the gold coins, and then you will have to declare Karan's defeat in the country." ”

"Okay, Mr. Anka."

Later, the two signed an agreement to end the war in the presence of the Holy Maiden, and the queen daughter of Karan, who had been defeated by a newly rising colony, did not have any embarrassed expression on her face, but gracefully kept her smile.

Ten days later, Livwe stood in the central square of Karan, facing the crowd below who kept throwing questioning glances at her, and behind her, the nobles who poked their heads out of the palace all smiled and looked at the princess, and even some of the nobles began to bet on how long the princess would be stoned to death by the crowd, and the prince heard the voices of those people, and looked at them angrily, remembering the names and appearances of each of them in his heart.

And as a nobleman, Mutar Kobazan also stood on the balcony with his family and observed the princess with a telescope.

Livwe whispered to the soldiers near the platform, "Please leave!" I don't need protection. ”

After the princess asked for it many times, the soldiers slowly left, so that the crowd could crowd to the bottom of the stage and face Livvi.

Seeing this, Livwe didn't feel timid, but kept smiling at the angry crowd in front of her.

The crowd shouted: "Traitor! ”

Livveway smiled softly, and after a flash of purple light in her eyes, Livulvey relaxed in her chair and began her speech.

Half an hour later, the crowd seemed to accept Livway's offer, and Livour returned to the palace unharmed.

Standing on the balcony in the same daze as the other nobles, Kobazan said to his father, "She's too dangerous. ”

And his father nodded slightly in agreement.

After that, the princess passed through the crowd full of doubts to the council hall on the top floor of the palace, and then sat down in the seat of the Grand Council.

The nobles closed the door with their soldiers and said to Livwe, "How dare you sit in such a position, a traitor. ”

"I'm just looking for a random seat to sit in, why are you so excited?"

"You traitor deserves exile!"

Livour said nonchalantly, "I've talked a lot today, can you shut up?" ”

"Bastard!"

Seeing that the nobles below were still unrelenting, Livwe just sat there and didn't show any anger and cast a gentle look at him.

Suddenly, the nobleman who was staring at Livwe exploded, and the fragments of his flesh and blood instantly filled the entire room, and then soon a whirlwind appeared on the spot, and the flesh and blood were reassembled, and the resurrected nobleman crouched on the ground incoherently, not daring to look directly at Livwe.

Livwe was very surprised and said, "I'm sorry, if my power is uncontrollable when I'm excited, you don't have to worry that I will try to minimize this kind of thing." ”

The nobles were now frightened and leaned back, and Livwe stepped forward pretending to be very concerned while the nobles ran out in a frenzy.

At noon, the prince walked in with a snack, and Livwe took it and said, "Thank you." ”

The prince asked worriedly, "Did those nobles do anything to you?" They ran out in a panic, did you do something? ”

Livwe looked at her brother who was bowing her head, stepped forward and gently stroked his cheek and said, "Don't worry about nothing." ”

After that, the prince slammed the table in pain and said: "If it weren't for the agreement reached between our ancestor Karan IX and those nobles, the power of the king was dispersed to those nobles, how could we, as the crown prince, be insulted by these miscellaneous things!" ”

"Brother, don't worry, maybe when you become the king, everything will be fine, and my sister won't come out in the last two years after losing the war, so you don't have to worry about the radical faction of the army coming to affect you."

"It doesn't matter if I don't be the king, after all, I have a sister like you, and my father is in good health, and I am content, and if those nobles don't constantly speak out against our two royal families, who don't have any military support, it will all be better."

Seeing that her brother was completely indifferent to the king's position, Livwe sighed silently, Livvi continued to caress her brother's cheek, her eyes had already become cruel, and an even more vicious plan was picked up by Livvi from a dark corner.
