Seeing that Gwendolyn agreed, Kroeber was completely relieved.
Because for Kroeber, what he needs most is the loyalty of the mermaids, and the most important of them is the loyalty of Gwendolyn herself.
You know, as the only superior dragon knight in the sea clan, Gwendolyn also has the title of "Queen of the Blue Sea".
Whether Krober is considering maintaining the stability of his own country or achieving the goal of unifying the entire Blue Sea, Gwendolyn is undoubtedly a huge obstacle that cannot be avoided.
After all, there cannot be two kings in the same ocean.
Even a male and a female!
He, Krobe, is the common and only king of all humans and sea creatures!
Fortunately, Gwendolyn herself has a very broad perspective and can clearly understand the current situation and future direction.
Therefore, this also allows Kroeber to retain sufficient strength.
After all, if a large-scale war really breaks out, it will inevitably cause a large number of casualties, and the money and food consumed every day will also be a considerable expense.
At present, Kroeber's economic situation is indeed not very optimistic, so he naturally hopes to avoid a large-scale war as much as possible.
Otherwise, what would be the point of successfully ruling a poor and impoverished country?
"Since there are no major issues, Your Majesty Gwendolyn, you may make any other requests. I'm in a good mood now, and I might even be able to agree to them."
Kroeber said. His tone was relaxed, and there was a faint smile on his face, which made people feel that he was indeed in a good mood.
This was not a lie. As long as the mermaids and Gwendolyn could remain loyal to him, everything else would be insignificant to him.
Gwendolyn felt relieved after hearing Kroeber's assurance, and she immediately responded:
"Your Majesty, I will be frank. I hope you will give the mermaids absolutely fair and equal treatment."
"Although we are a marine race, we also desire equal status and opportunities on land."
Kroeber nodded slightly to show his understanding.
He understood Gwendolyn's concerns. After all, in the past history, many ocean races had suffered unfair treatment on land.
The reason for all this is the huge hatred between humans and the upper class of the sea people.
However, this was not a problem for him.
"No problem. Under my rule, all ethnic groups will live in a relatively fair environment."
"Whether it's land races or sea races, they will all be treated fairly."
Kroeber promised solemnly.
He knew that a stable and harmonious society required cooperation and trust among all races, and fairness was the cornerstone of building such a relationship.
"In my country, everything is based on merit and strength. If you contribute to the country, you will naturally be respected."
Krober said firmly:
"If you have great strength and can make greater contributions to the country, you will naturally receive a higher status and material rewards."
This is the country he wants to build, simple and pure.
Here, humans are not superior, and sea creatures are not inferior.
Everyone has the opportunity to be recognized and rewarded for their efforts and talents.
As long as you make contributions and have the ability, you can find your own promotion channel.
At present, the first batch of nobles in the Amethyst Ocean Kingdom are officials and nobles who have made great contributions to the country.
They proved their worth through their actions and were rewarded accordingly.
Titles, fiefs, elves, gold, silver, treasures, etc., these are what they deserve.
Hearing this, Gwendolyn nodded in agreement.
The mermaid clan is, after all, a natural magical life form, and their strength is naturally not comparable to those of flesh and blood creatures.
Now, Krober's philosophy of governance has given them a stage to showcase themselves and given them the opportunity to successfully establish themselves in the kingdom with their own strength.
"No problem. I understand your philosophy of governing the country. I believe my people can successfully gain a foothold in the kingdom with their own strength."
Gwendolen said confidently.
She believed what Kroeber said, thinking that the sea people might really be able to gain equality and respect here and build this country together with humans.
She had a good eye, and combined with what the Wave Dragon had warned her, she believed that being a king was by no means Krober's limit.
And this was her last request.
"Your Majesty, you and I are both high-ranking dragon knights, so I suggest that we should make our relationship stronger and more resilient."
Gwendolyn's words did not attract Krober's attention. He was just immersed in the sense of accomplishment brought by his easy conquest of the mermaid clan and a high-ranking dragon knight.
"I believe that the strongest and most enduring relationship that can be had between two people of the opposite sex is a partnership."
"So, Your Majesty, please become my partner."
"Although I don't have the body of a human woman, you have to admit that my appearance and charm are definitely among the best in the world."
"Besides, you and I are both magical beings, so it's not difficult to conceive. If you want an heir, I can use potions to conceive."
"Well, good... eh? Not good!"
When Kroeber first heard Gwendolyn's words, he was a little confused, but he quickly reacted and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"What did you say?! Companionship?!"
His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open so wide that it seemed as if he could swallow an egg.
He stood up suddenly, leaned forward, put his hands on the table, and stared at Gwendolen as if he wanted to see through her.
"That's right, Your Majesty Krobe, you heard it right. As long as you acknowledge our partnership, you will be the king of the mermaid clan, and all of them, including me, will become your subjects."
"But the prerequisite is that you and I must be partners, and this relationship must be announced to the whole world."
.....
Kroeber was silent.
Kroeber refused.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Gwendolyn. Veronica and I just had our wedding, and we're happily married. I have no intention of betraying my marriage, nor do I intend to betray my love."
"As for the mermaid clan, let's talk about it later."
"Except for the partnership you proposed, I can accept all other requests. If you are willing to pledge allegiance to me, I will grant you the entire Blue Sea as your fiefdom once the kingdom becomes strong."
"But the rest, no!"
Kroeber refused Gwendolyn's request and had no intention of staying here any longer.
He turned around and left the living room.
