The discussion didn't need to be long, but King Simon dragged it out as long as possible to show that he had considered it for a long time...
But the result is actually the same. Now Jagun's army is Basaran's biggest guarantee. If there is no response, the soldiers on the front line will most likely retreat.
It would be difficult to regain the lost land relying solely on the troops of the Basaran Empire.
And once the enemy knew that the empire had fallen out with Jagun, they would likely be counterattacked again, so King Simon did not have much choice.
It is said that the ministers and nobles had a fierce argument over the issue of ceding land... After all, if they don't need to pay huge military expenses and just want to compensate a piece of land, they have to estimate the value of the land.
Border city.
But if it is ceded, the cities behind it will also become border cities. The coexistence of trade and tariffs will not cause much loss to the empire. Instead, the residents of the Oro region will become uncomfortable living there!
Because they were originally people of the Basaran Empire, and now they have changed their affiliation...but the relationship between each family is not so easy to sever. Once they were one family, they would become people of two countries after being separated.
Communication between countries will not be as easy as before!
So in the eyes of the nobles, it was actually nothing. That little piece of land was not worth mentioning in the vast empire. As for the population... maybe after the order to cede the Oro region to Jagun was issued, the residents there would migrate in large numbers to other cities in the south.
By then the losses will not be as great as they are now!
Compared to the outcome of the war with the Borg and the huge sums paid previously, the ceded land was a good deal.
However, these reasons don't work in front of the ministers, as they believe that the country's reputation and the people's confidence are more important...
But in any case, the choice is certain.
………………
But compared to these questions, Sean is now more concerned about the origin of his inexplicable identity.
"You said my mother is your queen?"
In the VIP room of the royal palace, Sean once again asked Melsusa and another commander beside her. Now Jagun's army has landed in the royal palace. Thousands of pterodactyls have appeared in the imperial capital, attracting almost all the guards.
The troops on both sides confronted each other, and neither side took the initiative to attack.
Everything awaits the final negotiation between the two powerful men...
"Yes, Queen Ayla Izdihar. She is your mother, but my first mentor... is a famous witch in the entire desert." Melsusa said.
So she was her mentor. No wonder she always had that "excited!" expression on her face whenever she spoke to me.
"Actually... I still don't quite understand it."
"It's normal that you don't understand, Your Highness. Few people know about this. After returning to Jagun, the Master often missed his time in the Bashalan Empire, but I didn't know why at the time..."
"What specific time are you talking about?"
"Fifteen years ago," Melsusa said, looking up.
Fifteen years ago, Sean thought. In that case, he would still be a child, and judging by her age, she must have been a little girl fifteen years ago.
Thinking about it this way, everything seems to make sense.
When his mother left, he was left alone with his father. For many years, he had not heard anything about his mother's whereabouts.
"Can I trust you, Melsusa and Ben Tari?"
Looking at the favorability between the two...
【Respect】and 【reverence】.
Previously, it was just ordinary [Friendly], but it suddenly rose to a level that was almost only seen by the Royal Guards. Because of the sudden change
But Sean still wanted to ask what they thought...
Suddenly, both of them fell to their knees at the same time.
"We are willing to pay any price for His Royal Highness... even at the cost of our lives." The two looked at each other and swore.
"Don't be nervous. I don't need you to die. I was just thinking about the last two years."
Since his mother is Queen Jagun, he can be considered a legitimate member of the royal family, although according to the other party's description, the current Sun King is not his mother but his uncle.
The reason was that Ayla Izdihar voluntarily gave up the throne to her younger brother, and then ran away... In order to avoid Jagun's search, she finally transformed into a mercenary witch and came to the Bashalan Empire.
Of course, these are things of the previous generation.
Sean now couldn't understand what they were thinking at that time, but there was one thing he knew.
That was the story of the previous generation Baron Weigel, whose father was assassinated...
He told the two of them some of the information he had investigated, hoping that they could also think about who would want the Weigel family to be destroyed.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Weigel and his son were already dead, and the Weigel family had been extinct since the moment he came into this world!
"this……"
Looking at the two people's [confused!] expressions.
There is [Thinking!] and [Guessing!]...
"Tell me what you think." Sean asked.
"Well... Your Highness, although Jagun is the largest country in the desert, and the Sun King is the supreme king of the desert countries, there must be enemies in secret. I think this matter may be related to our enemies."
"What kind of enemies do we have?"
"I think it would be best for Your Highness to ask the Sun King personally about this matter. After all, he is your uncle!"
Looking at the two people's confusion, Sean knew that they probably didn't know about some of their enemies. They only saw the opponents in the open and couldn't understand all the truth.
Just like he ruled the Oro region, even people as loyal to him as Luke and Ascalante did not know all his thoughts.
"Well, that's it..."
"Then Your Highness, let's go back together. If the people knew you were back, they would be so happy!" Sean could tell from the words that they wanted him to return to Jagun.
After hearing that the reward was in the Oro region, they were worried about whether they would continue to stay here...
"Don't worry, I will go to the desert with you, but before that I need to make some more arrangements and wait for the response from the Bashalan Empire."
"They will definitely agree." Mel Susa said suddenly.
This is quite interesting...
Before the two of them knew each other, Sean had played a trick on the other party by taking advantage of his lack of knowledge of trade. Why is he suddenly so sure now?
"Oh, really? Tell me what you think."
"Because it's a good deal for them to just abandon a small piece of land. Although it seems that the country loses face, it's actually not a big loss in the long run...at least it's better than other options." Mel Susa said.
