In the Great Qian Dynasty, Qin Ze, who transmigrated and became the son of the Tiger Might General, was cast aside by the Empress after she used him, stripped of his military power, and enfeoffed t...
Looking at the smile on Isabella's face, Qin Ze only glanced at her before turning to look at the Sheng Lu people and said:
What are your thoughts?
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucate immediately said, "I have no objection, I agree with everything you say..." But before he could finish, Tess kicked Lucate under the table, while at the same time, Depardieu glared at Tess.
Before attending this meeting, Figus had repeatedly emphasized to him that there must be no conflict with the Yan people. Although Emperor Figus had been cursing Lucat on that day, Depardieu could tell that Emperor Figus supported Lucat's actions. Otherwise, he would not have promoted him to the naval admiral and specially asked him to facilitate this meeting.
Therefore, our side has no reason, nor can it oppose, the conditions proposed by the Yan people.
As for the Kingdom of Sauri, they have taken too big a step in colonial expansion, with overseas colonies far exceeding their own territory. Therefore, if they are stopped, it will inevitably be a major blow to them, which is why Isabella is so reluctant.
At this moment, Lucate, who had been secretly kicked, paused for only a second before continuing with a resolute look in his eyes:
"Our nation of Shenglu fully agrees with your opinion!"
"The act of colonial expansion overseas, in today's view, is obviously wrong."
"Conflicts often occur in these areas, hatred can cloud everyone's mind, and wars break out from time to time and are difficult to contain."
"If this continues, the consequences will definitely be disastrous."
At this point, Lucat turned to look at Eddington. Although Eddington was now the Admiral of the Sasiri Navy, before his return home this time, he had been the commander of the Sasiri's overseas colonial operations. It was he who personally led the troops to the continent of Feni to carry out a massacre of the native Nino people in order to seize a large amount of land resources.
His reputation was already known even to Lukat, a native of Shenglu.
At that moment, as Lucart's gaze fell upon him, Eddington's face turned extremely ugly. He was furious at both Qin Ze's forceful demand and the "betrayal" of the Sheng Lu people.
He clearly remembered that when he first stepped into the venue, the Yan Emperor said after pulling the trigger that he was testing the gun on his "friend".
This "friend" was undoubtedly the Sheng Lu person sitting at the table.
Thinking of this, he lowered his face, avoiding Lucate's gaze. Following closely behind, Qin Ze, continuing Lucate's words, coldly scrutinized Isabella and said:
"This has never been an issue that we can discuss slowly."
"There's no need for further discussion; you simply need to accept or reject it."
"I don't want to repeat myself, you just need to make a choice."
Feeling that sharp, knife-like gaze, Isabella's amicable smile slowly faded. She put her hands down from the table and glanced sideways at Eddington beside her. But Eddington just lowered his head, so she looked at Malcolm instead.
Malcolm held a pen in one hand, while wiping sweat from his forehead with the other, his eyes fixed on the blank sheet of paper in front of him, looking flustered and apprehensive.
Isabella sighed almost imperceptibly, slowly sat back in her chair, crossed her arms, and said indifferently:
"Write it down."
"Wh...what?" Malcolm then turned his sweaty face to look at Isabella.
Isabella's expression was stern: "Write it down, write it down."
"Uh...Yes, Your Majesty!" Malcolm was startled, but the weight in his heart lifted. He was even relieved, as he had been worried that Her Majesty's tough stance at this moment might anger the fearsome Emperor of Yan.
Malcolm immediately took a deep breath, steadied his pen, and began to write.
Unlike Malcolm, who breathed a sigh of relief, Isabella was now feeling utterly dejected. As the queen of Sassa, the confidence she had built up over the years was now fading away with the rustling sound of the writing. She felt only deep helplessness and immense shame.
This even made her unable to look up at Qin Ze again. Her arms, which were wrapped around her body, gradually tightened, and her nails dug into her flesh. She bit her lip, her eyes filled with intense resentment and disappointment.
Qin Ze noticed this genuine expression on her face and said:
“From today onward, I will send my fleet to travel to various countries and make many good friends. I do not want to go anywhere and only see you Saji people fulfilling your ‘host’ duties.
Upon hearing this, Isabella coldly replied, "Then you underestimate us. We Sassa people value our promises above all else."
"We would never go back on our word."
Qin Ze couldn't help but smile and say, "Can't you make it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Isabella stood up abruptly, staring at Qin Ze's face with a serious expression:
"Please listen carefully, this is my guarantee to you as the Emperor of the Kingdom of Sa Ri."
"I know we have had conflicts with you in the past, but today I sincerely hope that we can live in peace and prevent any war from breaking out."
"If you are willing to treat us as potential friends, we are willing to pay certain conditions for it."
Qin Ze stroked his chin, scrutinizing Isabella intently.
After a moment, he sat back in his chair and said, "Let's see what happens next." Then he looked at Malcolm and asked, "Are you done writing?"
Malcolm nodded hastily.
"Okay, let's continue."
"This is just the first rule."
As she finished speaking, Isabella sat back down in her chair, but at this moment she was like a soulless shell, her face blank and her mind buzzing.
This continued until the end of the meeting, around 5 p.m.
During this time, Eddington and Malcolm became the main listeners. When Qin Ze proposed some conditions that were "harsh" to them, they would cast pleading glances at Isabella, but Isabella would always nod stiffly.
In this situation, Malcolm had no choice but to comply, until he had written a full five pages of "new rules".
This "new rule" is an unimaginable change for the Kingdom of Sari, the Kingdom of Shenglu, and even the Kingdom of Hunli, which will participate in the meeting in the future.
During this time, no one raised any objections, and the unloaded gun remained on the table until the very end of the meeting.
Finally, when the new regulations were bound together, Malcolm, pale-faced, got up and handed them to Qin Ze.
Qin Ze took it and carefully read through it. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he looked at the puppet-like Isabella and said:
"Okay, well written."
"Now, sign and affix the national seal."
"Once the seal is affixed, it takes effect immediately, and those who violate it..."
