Capítulo 837: Chapter 839: Gathering of Actors
Marzic, the delegation from the Luo Ze Empire has been waiting for a long ti.
Their negotiation team is also composed of a chief negotiator and sixteen negotiators, busy preparing for the upcoming negotiations.
After receiving a report from a guard, a tall and slender general, treading on the thin ice of the street, approached a red-haired girl and reported:
“Princess Latis, the delegation from Wansheng Country has arrived.”
Her gaze shifted from the docunt, her red hair fluttering, as the Third Princess of the Luo Ze Empire, Latis Qimia Roz, handed the docunt to a staff mber beside her.
“They’ve finally arrived…”
Latis was originally studying magic in the All Things Library, helping the country search for needed information. After the change in the war situation, she returned ho under the orders of Emperor Luo Hui.
Upon returning ho, not even having settled in, Latis was assigned by her father to Marzic to participate in this negotiation.
To be honest, Latis is not good at negotiations.
She doesn’t think she can achieve impressive results in this kind of maneuvering, smokeless war of words.
Moreover, this negotiation started off in a passive position.
If it were for negotiations, it should have been her handso second brother; Latis believes that in negotiation, the Second Prince is a hundred tis better than her.
Latis doesn’t understand why her father chose her.
Could it be he’s intentionally cultivating ?
But even if he wants to cultivate soone, it should be the eldest brother…
In fact, her father has always been committed to grooming her eldest brother into a qualified heir, but unfortunately, her eldest brother is ungrateful, only wanting to quietly be a laid-back person, living peacefully with Miss Rosalind.
Precisely because her eldest brother is like that, her father assigned him to Yenodore for combat, hoping he would improve.
Not choosing the eldest brother, but choosing …
Could it be that after returning to the imperial palace, the eldest brother said sothing he shouldn’t have to our father?
When she first saw her father, he had a worried look; she thought he was troubled about the war, but now it seems it’s more than that.
As for why not choosing the second brother…
The second brother has stated his neutrality stance.
When he was younger, the second brother foolishly questioned their father why he wanted to wage war against the beastn…
Such an important matter can’t be entrusted to soone with an ambiguous attitude.
By process of elimination, they eventually chose ?
No matter the reason, since she represents the royal family, Latis decided to do her best to fulfill her duties.
Only by doing so can she honor the na of the Luo Ze royal family.
Seeing Latis deep in thought and not taking any action, a well-dressed woman beside her spoke up: “Princess Latis, let represent the Luo Ze Empire to greet them.”
Latis promptly declined: “No need, I’ll greet them myself. Miss Liu Qi, stay here to continue preparing. If, at the ti, I don’t do well enough, I would appreciate your assistance.”
“Since Princess Latis insists, I understand.”
Liu Qi said nothing more, only watching Latis as she left with her entourage.
Soon, Latis reached the city center.
A white line runs through the center square of Marzic, dividing the city in two.
The architectural styles on the north and south of the boundary line are distinct yet extrely similar.
The area built by beastn has many wooden lofts, while the area built by humans is primarily made of rubble and bricks.
The city center square once had a magnificent sculpture as a demarcation symbol between the two countries, resting on the white line.
After the sculpture was split in two by a fox beastman, no second sculpture has been erected since.
There was no need to look further; from a distance, Latis could see the Wansheng Country delegation, surrounded by elite soldiers, approaching.
The carriage slowly stopped, and soone kicked open the carriage door. A suitcase was tossed out roughly, and a man with colorful hair and a mask leaped out of the carriage, landing gracefully and steadily on the ground.
He straightened up, lifted his chin slightly.
At that mont, he seed to be the focus of the crowd.
Latis had heard so things about the demonic behavior of the Colorful-haired Masked Man.
It was he who calmly and justifiably burned their troops, causing Luo Ze soldiers to lose their fighting spirit, eventually leading to the collapse of the front line.
Latis had also seen the scenes recorded in the mory Crystal.
Truth be told, when she first saw it, she felt a surge of nausea and almost lost control.
Advanced mory Crystals can not only record images but also the sounds of the ti.
Viewing a mory Crystal alone is akin to being there.
After watching the contents of the mory Crystal, Latis had several nights of poor sleep and took a long ti to adjust.
Before the negotiations officially began, the high-ranking officials of the Luo Ze Empire predicted that Wansheng Country would dispatch the Colorful-haired Masked Man.
Latis once imagined what expression she would show facing the Colorful-haired Masked Man—disgust, fear, or rage—all seed possible, but when she actually saw the Colorful-haired Masked Man, all she felt was surprise.
She scrutinized the Colorful-haired Masked Man before her once more.
Aside from surprise, Latis had no other emotion.
The man before her didn’t give Latis any demonic feeling, only a sense of “I’m above everyone else, you all just watch my show-off display,” like a spoiled son of wealth.
The negotiators from the other carriages of Wansheng Country began to step down one by one.
As a princess of a country, Latis slightly lifted her skirt and curtsied,
“I’m the Third Princess of the Luo Ze Empire, nad Latis Qimia Roz, and I welco the envoys of the negotiation team on behalf of the Luo Ze Empire.”
Adjusting his collar, the Colorful-haired Masked Man naturally spoke:
“It’s an honor to et you, Third Princess. I am the lead negotiator from Wansheng Country, nad Potato Thorn.”
As soon as the Colorful-haired Masked Man spoke, Latis found the voice sowhat familiar, as if she had heard it sowhere before.
Before Latis had ti to think deeply, the Colorful-haired Masked Man continued:
“Sorry to keep you waiting, you must be eager to start the eting.
I feel the sa way.
On the carriage, my stomach was filled with things I want to say.
But it all has to wait until the afternoon to unleash it all.
I hope you… will have nothing to say to what I will say then.
After the greeting, the Colorful-haired Masked Man imdiately revealed his sharpened edge, and an invisible pressure instantly pressed onto Latis, making her discard her current thoughts.
If she were to ask now, “Haven’t we seen each other sowhere?” such a question might lead him to think she was trying to cozy up, assuming Luo Ze Empire wanted to curry favor with him to gain so benefits.
With the other party not showing kindness, Latis naturally wouldn’t embarrass herself, she rely smiled politely and said:
“Then allow to wait and see. We are ready here; looking at how weary you must be from travel, you should go to your accommodations and take a good rest before saying anything you shouldn’t when the ti cos.”
