Chapter 289 – The Enemy of the Enemy

The discussion among the Duchy of Dihart, like that of the Kingdom of Tigris, seemed to have taken about an hour, and the delegation members returned to the meeting place. We were not just sitting around drinking tea while the delegation returned to the meeting place. We discussed what kind of negotiation cards they were going to use, what we had found out from their words and actions, and so on.

“So, have you decided how you’re going to meet our demands?”

“Well, yes, we have. I understand that you have a lot of circumstances. How about it?　How about we have a frank talk?”

I couldn’t help but raise my eyebrows at the expression of Antonius-dono. These were the words I had said to Nelson-dono. Apparently, the Duchy of Dihart and the Kingdom of Tigris were sharing information more closely than I had thought.

“Frankly, you mean. Does that mean we can be direct with each other and not lie to each other?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“You know we have the saint of truth here, right?”

In other words, you’re saying this because you know that if you tell a lie, you’ll be exposed instantly, right? That’s what I’m saying.

“Yes, of course.”

“Fumu, interesting. Let’s hear it, shall we?”

After urging him to speak, Antonius-dono looked at the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Home Affairs Officer, who nodded at each other.

“The aim of the kingdom of Merinard is to break the lingering fear of the future, isn’t it?　At worst, you want to take in the Kingdom of Tigris at least to keep us in check and focus on countermeasures against the Holy Kingdom to the east. That’s what this is all about, isn’t it?”

“Even children can understand this if they think about it a little. So what’s the deal?”

“I propose a ten-year non-aggression pact and the gradual handover of the subhuman slaves. In exchange, we would like the payment of reparations to be made in 10-year installments.

“Gradual handover? And what about a trade treaty?”

“Well, don’t be hasty. Let’s take care of one thing at a time. First, regarding the phased handover, there is a strong possibility that our agricultural and mining production will suffer a major blow if we hand over all of the reparations at once. In some cases, it could even break up the country. That would not be your intention either, would it?”

I look at Ellen, but she shakes her head. In other words, it may be that Antonius-dono is right, and there really is a possibility that the Duchy of Dihart may be broken up.

“Continue.”

“As a matter of fact, we have to come to terms with the Adol religion. If we decide right now to hand over all the subhuman slaves to you and try to carry it out, there is a possibility that interference from the Holy Kingdom will intensify. We would like to avoid that. The Holy Kingdom’s influence within the Duchy of Dihart has been considerably weakened by the recent defeat. We will not
