470: 163.
Next, Murphy will demonstrate to everyone what is called ‘Lion’s roar’ _1 470: 163.
Next, Murphy will demonstrate to everyone what is called ‘Lion’s roar’ _1 “What sort of horrible misnor is that?
I have been single ever since I was born!
Put so respect in your wording, you Transylvanian Barbarian!”
Ever since Lady Shani made her appearance, she has remained imperturbable to both complints and insults, displaying no fear in facing even the eldest of the vampire race, Cui Si.
Her sense of authority was even more evident during her negotiations with the lord of Transylvania.
However, Murphy’s usage of ‘Mrs.
Shani’ caught her off guard.
It was primarily because she failed to appreciate the peculiar aesthetics of the players; She perceived his comnt as a mockery of her being a powerless housewife.
But that was not the case.
“I apologize for my inappropriate address,”
Murphy replied with a gentle smile, standing half a step behind Cui Si and spoke softly,
“Yet, the truth stands, as the Duke and I have stated, any discussion pertaining to the territory of Transylvania is unacceptable!
Is this response clear enough?
Furthermore, if you do not intend to take your leave right this minute, why not relax and listen to the conditions that I’m about to propose?”
“Of course, that is the essence of negotiations,”
Lady Shani put on an intrigued expression, raising her cup of wine towards Murphy as she sat with extre elegance, whilst Cui Si, who was sitting beside them, mirrored Murphy’s past mannerisms, supporting her chin with intertwined fingers.
With a bewitching smile on her face, she looked as though she was ready to enjoy a good show.
Her deanor slightly unnerved Shani.
However, Murphy had already begun to speak.
“Firstly, the Nordtoff Kingdom must release the ard Blood Servants in your custody.
I do not care if they are rebellious, or if other ghastly incidents happened under the watch of the Winter Wolf Legion.
If you have taken 6000 people from Transylvania, then you shall return 6000 people.
Not a single man less!
Secondly, the Nordtoff Kingdom shall provide the soon to be established and official army of Transylvania, which is ant to combat the Black Disaster, with sufficient ammunition and firearms.
We would be more than grateful if you could provide cannons too.
Lastly, until the Black Disaster quells, Klim Fortress shall not interrupt the food supply to Transylvania on any grounds.
We are not beggars.
We’ll pay in gold.
In the case of insufficiency, the southern mining regions of Transylvania can serve as collateral and cover your losses.
Also, on a personal note, I have a small request for Her Majesty the Wolf-Queen.
I hope that Her Majesty would officially issue a decree, declaring the ‘Governor of Transylvania,’ holding absolute authority over all matters in Transylvania.”
Murphy spread his hands while under Shani’s scrutinizing gaze and asserted,
“The Posya Confederation was also founded post the first Black Disaster, with mutual agreent from all the major human civilizations.
So, I believe an official decree from a queen can further fortify my jurisdiction over the area of Transylvania,
Though I, in reality, do not need it.
Now you may ask, what will you gain from this transaction?
Firstly, until the day we’re completely devoured by the Werewolves, I promise that none will trespass your territories.
You can sit comfortably within the extravagant halls of North Wind Castle and treat the brutal battles on Transylvanian soil as nothing more than tales from a far-off land,
To entertain yourselves with during afternoon tea.
Secondly, I promise to you and Her Majesty Wolf-Queen behind you that Transylvania will never sway towards the Golden Flower Kingdom.
We will exhaust all asures to maintain neutrality and fulfil our roles as the military demilitarized zone between the two kingdoms until both sides have reaped the benefits of this war, and are prepared to engage in another fierce battle for continental supremacy.
We will then decide who we wish to join.”
“Are you done?”
Lady Shani shrugged her shoulders and asked.
Murphy nodded, smiling at her.
She elegantly took a small sip of her wine, gave a sigh, and said:
“Do you think I’m a fool, Murphy?
What gives you the right to propose such preposterous conditions and still hope that I’d agree to them?
I admit that the approbation from Lord Pa Ying imposes substantial pressure from the vampire’s perspective,
But this recognition assus that you’ll contribute significantly towards combating the Black Disaster, and I don’t think your current state allows you to fulfil the Lord’s expectations.
As for the ntioned pressure from the Golden Flower Kingdom…
Agreed, the Nordtoff Kingdom refuses to engage in an intense rivalry with the Golden Flower Kingdom over the inconsequential territory of Transylvania, but I presu there won’t be chaos if a disobedient lord like you is dismissed by King Louis.
So, let reciprocate with your expressions!
If you wish to negotiate, then show so sincerity.
If not, then shut up.”
“Little Murphy, your conditions are indeed exorbitant.
Even I think they’re unreasonable.”
Cui Si also found her opportunity to interject:
“Show so sincerity.
Or else, even your aunty Shani will get angry.”
“The two of you are deliberately doing this, aren’t you?”
Lady Shani squinted her eyes and spoke icily:
“Cui Si, though I respect you as an elder, you should not push your luck!
Is a woman’s age a subject to be frivolously joked about?
Especially in such a setting.
You two are the most unreliable vampire leaders I’ve ever t.
Even Babro, the Clan Leader of the Blood Fear who hide as pirates in the Misty Sea, is more discreet than you.”
“Soone in this room is getting riled up, but I will not reveal who.
I admit, Cui Si and I are ‘atypical vampires’, but for people of our stature, personal attacks are beneath us.”
