Isabella wanted to shut out these voices, but these inner voices began to cry out:
'When we possess the same unparalleled strength, wouldn't we be the ones standing here commanding all nations?'
Therefore, the current state of Yan is absolutely worthy of our study and emulation; there's no doubt about that! This is all for the sake of our motherland's future prosperity!
Go and learn about the Yan Kingdom! Understand why this powerful nation prospers! Establish diplomatic relations with them! Learn from them, learn their advanced culture and superior system, all so that our motherland can one day be like them!
No! It's about surpassing them! Surpassing them! Maybe it will take decades, maybe it will take centuries, but as long as we start catching up, eventually, eventually we will definitely...
The inner voice had reached this point, and Isabella's original beliefs began to change. Her expression became complex, her mind racing with thoughts, and without much deliberation, she blurted out:
"Alright! We have concluded this agreement today! Now we must abide by it together!"
"The future...the future definitely belongs to..."
"It belongs to us...all of us!!"
Upon hearing this, not only Qin Ze, but everyone present couldn't help but show a surprised expression, especially Eddington and Malcolm standing next to him.
They stared in astonishment at Isabella, who had suddenly stood up, her face flushed and her expression excited, not understanding why she was acting so agitated at this moment.
Could this treaty really be a good thing for our country? No! It's definitely not a good thing! It's completely weakening our national strength, so why is Her Majesty so excited?
What's wrong with her? Could it be... she's pretending again? But... the contrast is too obvious!
Thinking of this, Eddington lowered his head and carefully tugged at the hem of Isabella's skirt.
And the next moment.
"Cough cough cough."
The two coughed almost simultaneously, but with different intentions. Eddington coughed simply to remind her, while Isabella coughed to cover her embarrassment and sat down.
Qin Ze was somewhat confused, but he was satisfied with Isabella's apparent expression.
As for what she's really thinking behind the scenes, and whether she'll abide by the agreement, that's not the point; time will tell.
The gun is always there, and the bullets are unlimited; all you need is an enemy you can aim at.
Thinking of this, Qin Ze nodded and said, "Alright, since we have reached a consensus, then this agreement... or rather, the new rules."
"It's settled today."
"As the saying goes, without rules, there can be no order. Now that we have rules, will the future world order remain one of constant warfare and conflict, or will we live in harmony where those who are similar are friendly and those who are different are respectful? Time will tell."
"Currently, only three of our countries have signed this convention. Next, I will send envoys to visit various countries, regardless of size, so that they may leave their mark on this convention if they wish."
After these words, Isabella and Lucat stood up first, and the others gradually followed suit.
Qin Ze looked around at everyone and asked, "The convention has been drawn up, but what kind of official name should it have?"
"Do you have any suggestions? Feel free to share them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucat immediately said, "You initiated and led us to conclude this convention, so of course it should be called the Yan Kingdom Convention."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze looked at the Sa Ri people and said, "What do you think?"
Eddington mustered his courage and said, "This...this is not quite appropriate."
Qin Ze chuckled and nodded, saying, "I also think it's not quite right. So, what do you suggest we change it to?"
Eddington dared not say another word. The moment he saw Qin Ze smile, his hair stood on end, and he immediately turned his gaze to Isabella.
Isabella didn't mince words, immediately replying, "Today, you, leading my kingdom of Sari and the kingdom of Shenglu, were the first to conclude this treaty, so it should rightfully be called..."
She paused, changed the name she had already thought of, and continued, "This place is in the Roman Islands, so naming it after a place is fine. How about 'Roman Convention'? What do you think?" She stared intently at Qin Ze.
Seeing Isabella's inexplicably relaxed demeanor, Qin Ze was still somewhat puzzled, but he still said unhurriedly:
"That's not a problem, but I firmly believe that this convention will include more than just the three of us. Hungary, which has not yet joined, and other countries may also sign it in the future."
"And this world is vast enough, with lands we have never set foot on, and perhaps many more countries. Therefore, I think it would be more appropriate to call this convention the 'International Convention'."
"What do you think? Or should we just call it the Roman Convention?"
Upon hearing this, the Lukat people, representing the Lukat people, immediately declared: "The Universal Convention!"
Eddington and Malcolm whispered something to each other, but no one could hear what they were saying. Isabella, however, unexpectedly said:
"Okay, let's call it the Universal Convention. That's definitely more suitable!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze immediately frowned, filled with doubts. Eddington and Malcolm also looked at Isabella with puzzled expressions.
Isabella then asked, "So, what's next...?"
Qin Ze frowned as he looked at her and said, "Now, everyone go back and fulfill the terms of the convention, especially your Sa Ri Kingdom. There is still a lot to be done, and we cannot delay!"
Isabella nodded immediately: "Of course."
Seeing her answer so readily, Qin Ze frowned even more deeply, then added, "I've already said I will send envoys with fleets to visit various countries, including those on the continent of Feni that you currently occupy. You mustn't..."
Before she could finish speaking, Isabella said in a deep voice, "Since the Universal Convention has already been signed, our Sassa Kingdom will naturally comply. We don't need your reminder."
"You only need to look at the results. We Saji people always keep our word."
These words caused Eddington and Malcolm to exchange a glance, both of them seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
Of course, Qin Ze's expression also became more and more serious. He stared intently at Isabella's face for more than ten seconds, but Isabella did not look away at him. Instead, she chose to look directly at him.
Finally, Qin Ze looked away and said, "Alright, since you put it that way, let's wait and see how it goes."
"Alright, that concludes today's meeting. Everyone, please go back to your posts."
Before she could finish speaking, Isabella interjected, "No, not yet. We need to talk about establishing diplomatic relations."
Qin Ze turned around and said coldly, "Take care of what you're supposed to do first." With that, he turned and left.
"etc!"
