The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

Letting Liv come over already represents the kingdom's determination to strive for peace.

The development of this diplomatic talk was in line with the expectations of both sides.

But the only thing Rom didn't understand... was why the Demon King didn't attend in person?

This is obviously concerning his own daughter, the first princess of the demon clan. Can the Demon King and the Demon Queen feel at ease?

Or are they using this method to tell the human race that the demons understand that they dare not act rashly and do not take the human race seriously at all?

Whatever the case, it was not something Rom needed to guess at the moment.

He just needs to do his best to gain the greatest benefits for the Kingdom of Orus in this diplomatic occasion as always.

Personnel from both sides were already in place, and the human soldiers on standby in the backstage used magic to activate the loudspeaker crystal in the conference room.

That way, no matter who starts speaking at the table, everyone can hear it.

According to convention, the first to speak should be the party hosting the talks.

That is, the envoys from the Kingdom of Orus.

Rom cleared his throat, threw away all the documents he had brought, and pointed his old but sharp eyes at Hanks.

"We welcome the Demon Clan delegation to Orus, and we welcome the presence of your princess. This is truly a coincidence sent by heaven. We did not make any decision to invite the Third Princess to come. With the presence of royal family members on both sides, I have reason to believe that this negotiation will be harmonious and smooth."

I thought the other party's second princess would give some reaction.

Then Rom discovered that she didn't even look up.

Not only did he not look up, but he kept tilting his head to look in the direction of the audience seats outside the negotiation seat. He seemed to be nonchalant, but also seemed to be very attentive.

The arrogant demons...are always so rude.

This negotiation was not originally under the charge of Bellis.

Hanks nodded and took over the conversation.

"Mr. Rom is right, but there is one thing I would like to complain to you about before the negotiations officially begin. If we can't reach an agreement on this matter, it will be difficult for us to get down to business."

"Oh? Mr. Hanks, you can tell me what's going on."

Roma dare not be careless when facing a worthy opponent.

Do you take the initiative to attack the moment the negotiations begin?

The forty-something young man in front of me had a very different temperament the moment he opened his mouth to speak.

Not easy to deal with...

Public gallery.

Xue Fei expressed her approval of this "battlefield of verbal art" and nodded frequently.

"Well said, well said, eating and watching is a good tradition, Xia, do you provide donuts here?"

"No, the mouths here are only for talking, not eating."

5. Negotiation failed? (5K)

Bellis's direct yet not completely direct gaze made Xia Ya's smooth long hair stand on end.

Hiss... This feeling is like seeing a cat that has eaten catnip and is smiling and staring at you, which makes me feel uneasy!

Bellis cooperated with Sister Wang's efforts to conceal her identity. She only glanced over here occasionally with the corner of her eyes, and would not look directly at her to cause trouble for Sister Wang.

Fortunately, this is the meeting room.

The sounds of negotiations always interrupt this strange atmosphere.

The representative of the demon clan, Marquis Hanks, has already taken the lead in launching the attack according to the plan prepared in advance.

"Regarding the negotiation location, Mr. Rom, as you can see, we finally decided to hold the negotiation here. This is the territory of your Kingdom of Orus."

"But according to the proposal put forward by our demon leader, we would rather arrange the negotiation in the Holo Forest, a neutral area between the demons and humans. But you rejected it many times, and we finally granted you an exception and decided to set the negotiation location here."

"Although we have made concessions for the sake of peace between the two sides, Mr. Rom, can I assume that your repeated refusal to comply means that you still harbor hostility towards the Demon Lord and do not wish to negotiate on a fair and equal footing?"

Every word Hanks spoke was accompanied by the sound of Roma's entourage quickly flipping through documents.

They want to ensure that the objections raised by the other party are facts, not bluffs for bargaining chips.

Actually, they don't need to confirm this question.

Roma understood better than anyone why the negotiations had to be held here.

After all...the one who insisted on setting the negotiation venue within the Kingdom of Orus was Rom himself.

Rom rested his elbow on the documents on the table, stroked his graying beard with one hand, looked back at Hanks' ominous demon pupils, and chose to respond positively.

"Mr. Hanks, your question is indeed true. Our attitude towards the Demon Tribe is still unclear. For the sake of safety, we have to set the negotiation venue on our territory to ensure the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess. I hope you will understand."

"Oh? Where did you get that from? The Demon Chief's attitude has always been clear. As long as your kingdom releases our princess, the Demon Chief is willing to work with the kingdom to create a stable and peaceful period. Mr. Rom, we are not the kind of people who love war."

"Of course I am willing to believe your sincerity, but Mr. Hanks, you cannot represent the entire demon clan..."

As the diplomatic core of a country, Rohm's eyes are sharp, showing his experience and sophistication in this battlefield without gunpowder.

Rom paused and continued.

"I would like to ask Mr. Hanks, since you are dissatisfied with the negotiation location we chose, could you please explain why the six-winged demon Jeffrey suddenly appeared at the birthday party of our hero Shialite a few days ago? Could you please explain why the mysterious demon impersonated a contestant at the end of my arena yesterday and had an unknown purpose? If you can explain these questions clearly, then of course I can move our negotiation venue to the neutral Holo Forest now."

"this..."

Ok?

The content of the current negotiations made the ahoge on Bellis's head shake involuntarily.

Oh no...it seems like I have unintentionally caused some trouble for the negotiation team again?

Hanks had heard about these things, but even he didn't understand the details.

He knew nothing about the mysterious demons in the arena, and the fact that Lord Jeffrey had raided the royal capital and returned to the demon territory without being punished was enough to show that the royal family had instructed this, but he, the foreign minister, knew nothing about it.

Alas...this job is not easy.

Not only do you have to deal with the other party's negotiators, but you also have to figure out the Demon King's thoughts.

Shaking his head helplessly, Hanks could only pass by the matter.

"Well... We will continue to investigate these. There may be some

There are unnecessary misunderstandings. Forget it, our meeting today is not obsessed with such unpleasant topics. The main topic we want to discuss is a hundred times more important than this, isn't it? "

"Yes, you are quite right."

Rom nodded and smiled, and it seemed that he was very satisfied that this topic was not discussed further.

Livra was recording negotiation skills in the little notebook she carried with her. She had a lot to learn.

Of course, negotiating records does not take too long.

At this time, Livra was thinking about where to start writing.

Beautiful handwriting means writing down an extra paragraph like this.

[Ms. Xia Ya seems to like fish in addition to donuts. ]

【Fish refers to big fish. 】

perfect.

Woo... In order to become stronger, and to better punish evil and promote good, Her Royal Highness the Princess really hopes to learn from Miss Xia Ya.

How does she train herself to be so courageous at such a young age? It's really admirable.

Livra was becoming more and more curious about Xia, and she was also increasingly admiring her courage.

While Livra was recording, the negotiations had already entered the main stage and there was a fierce verbal confrontation.

As expected, the two sides were arguing over the issue of whether the Demon Tribe's first princess should stay or go.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but our demon leader has only one attitude: we must welcome back our first princess."

"I understand the demons' demands, but Mr. Hanks, you have to understand that your princess was captured by our brave warriors during the war. Now you are asking us to release her unconditionally. This is unreasonable. You must know that in order to achieve the current result, our country has also made great sacrifices."

"Your sacrifice will be rewarded. When I, the demon leader, welcome Her Royal Highness back, I will promise long-term peace to the Kingdom of Orus."

"Then how can this peace be achieved? How can it be guaranteed?"

"This is a formal diplomatic venue. Since I have said this on behalf of the demons, it is a promise, just like our agreement in history. All we need to do is sign the document."

In response, Roma could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

"Haha... But if I remember correctly, when the current king of our country took office, we were still at peace. But the Demon Tribe leader unilaterally tore up the agreement because of some minor frictions, which led to the war going on until now. Do you think that a mere agreement can really play any role?"

Speaking of it.

Hanks had already stood up, supporting himself on the table with his hands.

Standing up with him were the other demons except Bellis.

Hanks pushed up the single-frame glasses on his face and moved his gaze from the far left of the human representative to the far right.

The tone gradually became colder, and there was disdain in it.

"I ask Lord Rom to make it clear that the people imprisoned in your capital are not ordinary demon soldiers, but the princess of my entire demon clan, the biological daughter of the demon king Dizna Oulus. I would like to reiterate our position here. If you release our princess, both sides will reconcile. If you continue to imprison her, the war will start again. Lord Rom, please weigh the pros and cons and consider it carefully."

"Oh... So that's what happened... What Mr. Hanks said, is this also what the Demon King meant?"

"Your Majesty did not express this directly, but the meaning does not need to be said by Your Majesty himself. How can we not mean this when we are brothers? There is no need to speculate."

"That's right..."

Roma's bright eyes dimmed a little, revealing a vague sense of powerlessness.

Diplomacy requires the support of national strength.

The Demon Leader had strong overall strength and was full of confidence, so they had no concerns at all. They were sure that the Kingdom would not dare to do anything to Xuefia Halder, so they pressed on step by step. Therefore, they would not agree to any conditions proposed by the Kingdom, and did not even ask for the Kingdom's conditions.

On the other hand, the only cruel method the kingdom can use is to threaten the life of the demon princess and inflict maximum damage to the demons, resulting in a fight to the death.

Unless it is absolutely necessary...this solution will never be used.

Not being able to use it doesn’t mean not being able to speak it.

Just right.

Rom's dim eyes suddenly flashed with a tough light again, reflecting the figure of the second princess of the demon clan who was still sitting steadily and nonchalantly.

Ah...

The breakthrough is right here, isn't it?

Roma tapped the tabletop with his fingers, making a rhythmic sound like a countdown.

This sound was accompanied by his plain speech.

It seemed that everything he did was bland and powerless.

But the content of the speech... was a bolt from the blue!

"It doesn't matter. If the demon leader is unwilling to make any concessions and is determined to do so, we will also consider sending the snow

The Kingdom of Orus kept its word by killing Princess Feiya, or punishing her without killing her, as revenge against the demons. "

After the words fell, Hanks opened his eyes slightly and stood there.

He couldn't believe his ears! How dare you, an old man, say such a thing? !

His reaction doesn't matter.

The important thing is...

——Princess Bellis also retracted her nonchalant attitude and turned her gradually cold eyes towards the front of the negotiation table.

now it's right.

Hanks, you are right. The Demon King's blood relationship does not need to be expressed directly.

Perhaps you diplomats would never consider the life and death of Shefia Halder and the national interests on the same scale. After all, she and you are only in a superior-subordinate relationship. Even if the princess dies, at most you will only express symbolic sadness and mourning, and then continue to march forward. Maybe morale will even soar because of anger.

But these words have a different meaning for Princess Bellis.

They are sisters.

Even if they are members of the royal family, they cannot sit idly by while their relatives are being persecuted.

Princess Bellis is still young. Even if the Demon King can bear the pain of giving up his daughter, it does not mean that Princess Bellis can do so.
