Chapter 199 - Somehow, all the messengers are women
The messenger of the demon tribe has arrived, and I ask them to let her into the reception room.
I was told that the messenger was a woman. Is there a rule in this world that only women are allowed to negotiate?
I headed for the reception room with Mil, Kiara, and Jules, my bodyguard.
On the way, a simple question came out of my mouth.
“Somehow, all the messengers are women.”
Mil’s face became puffy.
“Al is a man, after all. They’re probably underestimating you, or that they’re trying to get themselves to be your mistress.”
Kiara laughed, but her eyes were not smiling.
“I don’t want to give my brother to anyone but Sister. I’d consider it after I’ve become my brother’s mistress, though.”
Like I said, let’s not ignore the taboo so easily.
Jules chuckled and said, “Good Grief”.
“My lord is really loved so fiercely, huh? “
“‘I’m glad to hear that. But I don’t want them to offer me another woman.”
The conversation ended there, and we entered the reception room in silence.
There was a demon woman, probably a teenager, with dark hair, dark eyes, slightly brown skin, tall and slender, with a slightly young appearance.
Making a young girl a messenger, I’m feeling that line more and more strongly.
As the messenger stood up, I urged her to be seated.
“I am Alfred Della Scala, the feudal lord.”
The demon tribeswoman bowed with a serious face.
“I am the messenger of my tribe. I am Kriemhild Kahler. Thank you very much for meeting with me on this occasion.”
“Miss Kahler, may I ask your business?”
“Yes, sir. Ravenna welcomes all comers, regardless of race. It is surprising that you accept losers even after a battle. We’ve been debating whether we should join Ravenna or not, and we can’t come to a consensus. So I would like to confirm the policy of Ravenna.”
“The policy?”
“Yes, I’ve heard many conflicting rumors. It is difficult to find out what is really going on from the outside because of the tight security. I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way to find out the truth is to meet him in person.”
So someone is spreading rumors, whatever it is, we should proceed with the discussion first.
“First of all, if you wish to move to Ravenna, you will be accepted as a citizen, on the same level as existing citizens. If you do not wish to move to Ravenna, we will sign a treaty of mutual non-aggression.”
“I’m not familiar with that term. What does it mean?”
“We will not touch each other’s territory. No external agitation. In other words, we recognize and respect each other’s existence.”
Kriemhild nodded her head as if that was all.
“Are there no other options?”
“If it’s an alliance, we inevitably take more than we give. I can’t say that it’s an equal partnership.”
“Is that so?”
“There are only a few areas where we can be attacked by the enemy. And if we stay on the defensive, I’m sure we won’t be defeated.”
Kriemhild seemed to be a little alarmed.
Her expression did not change, but her eyes became slightly sharper.
“That’s a lot of confidence.”
“You know the story of the last battle. That’s the answer.”
“I see, so what you’re saying is that there’s no need to fight.”
I nodded nonchalantly.
“If mutual non-aggression isn’t enough for you, then …… I’m sure you understand.”
I don’t accept something like “Just protect me”.
It’s simple logic.
However, Kriemhild shook her head, as if she didn’t want their power to be determined without their permission.
“But I haven’t said so yet. I’m just asking about all the possibilities.”
“You’re right. Just think that an alliance is not an option.”
“Have you thought about forming an alliance and going on the offensive together?”
I shook my head as I knew that would be impossible at this point.
“There’s no need don’t attack someone when I know we don’t have to.”
“You wouldn’t attack them to remove the danger?”
That’s bullshit.
I shrugged my shoulders, a little exaggerating.
“There’s no end to it if I say that. I think it’s just a way for people who want to attack do so. If I could see a clear intent to attack, that would be a different story.”
Kriemhild stared at me, trying to figure out my true intentions.
If you look closely at her, you can see that she is on the borderline between an adult and a child, and she has a strange charm about her.
Then Kriemhild opens her mouth.
“So, why did you move to this region? If you want to expand your control over the region, that is understandable. But Ravenna is not dominating, it is taking in and becoming more powerful, isn’t it? I’ve never heard of such a concept.”
“People who have a hard time in today’s world can survive if they obey the law. That’s the kind of world I’ve always wanted.”
As expected, Kriemhild was surprised, and looked at seriously.
“E-Excuse me, but I was surprised by the unexpectedness of your story.”
“I’m sure you are. I’ve gotten used to that reaction.”
“May I go back and consider if we’ll join you?”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
For the first time, Krieghild leaned forward, showing enthusiasm and curiosity.
“May I take a look at the town once? I’d like to see it for myself.”
It’s more convenient for us, too.
“I’ll have an escort you, so you’re free to go. But you will not be allowed to enter private homes or rooms.”
“Is that so?”
That’s the way it is in Ravenna.
“Even I can’t enter without permission.”
Kriemhild’s eyes lit up, as she had expected a lord to be able to go anywhere.
Mil and Kiara seemed to be struggling to hold back their laughter.
