Before I could say anything, Liscia loudly slammed the table.
“OF COURSE HE WOULDN’T! Soma is my … our country’s indispensable person!”
She made a menacing look, showing her fangs. I’m honestly happy that she thought so highly of me, but we’re in a negotiation right now. I pat Liscia’s head.
“Calm down Liscia. I’m not going anywhere, okay?”
“… Sorry. I lost my cool there”
“You to Aisha. Stay! Hands off the sword handle”
“A, aren’t you treating me too roughly!?”
Ignoring Aisha’s protests, I looked at Jeanne.
“Sorry, but I can’t accept that”
“Fuh … all right. However, it’s true that we’re regretting it”
Jeanne bowed her head, “thank you for listening to my rude remarks”
“Returning to the topic of alliance … such an important issue cannot be decided by me alone. Since you have magnificently suggested a top-level conference using the Royal Broadcasts, I think it’s proper if you personally discuss this with Elder Sister. In line with that, I would like to return to the Empire with a few of your diplomats, and leave some of ours to take to the Kingdom”
“We of course need to exchange signed documents. Hum … how about this. Appoint one of the diplomatic delegation as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary 12 and establish an Embassy on both countries’ capitals. It would be inefficient to travel back and forth everytime we need to come to a decision.
“That would be magnificent! We shall put it under consideration right away. Really … King Soma’s wisdom is an ever-welling spring”
“Like I said, it’s not mine”
Afterwards, Jeanne and I came to a mutual understanding and discussed many things. Like, about how Lady Maria wanted to stop slavery. She had been wanting to abolish this hotbed of human trafficking, but now with the looming threat from the Demon King Territory, she was able to do so under the name of Human Solidarity. Having anticipated that this would be hard to accomplish in times of peace and that she should do it now, it looks like she’s not just a ‘flower child’.
As for myself, I also agree that we should stop slavery 3, but I thought it was too early for it and decided to “wait”. Sudden changes, even though (I think) it was good, would lead to chaos. Having known how much chaos the Arab Spring (I don’t mean to decry the movement itself, of course) engendered in the surrounding countries, I had been careful about these things.
That was why, regarding slavery, I mentioned to the Empire that it should be done a step at a time, and if possible to match with the movements the Kingdom was pushing.
… that kind of important stuff came out one after the other, so the bureaucrats on both sides were running around in a mad rush. They continued until late at night, even after the conference had been settled. I’m sure they would be staying up all night. Giving the bureaucrats a side glance, I took Liscia and Jeanne out to the office balcony.
