Chapter 89: The Negotiation
Seeing that Prince Lester had accepted the task, Aurora turned around. "Burn it after you finish reading."
Prince Lester bowed and then looked at the small piece of paper in his hand. It was the crude map of the Royal Palace. Since he has been staying in the Royal Palace for some time, Prince Lester was still quite familiar with the layout.
Of course, he was not allowed to go to some places. As the prisoner, he might be allowed a certain degree of freedom, but it was not to the point where he was allowed to go to various places.
And this location...
It was the study room beside the library.
That study room belonged to the two princes and most of the time, only Prince Brian was inside. Prince Charles would not be interested to stay inside because he was too busy running away.
At this time, Prince Brian should be inside.
So it wouldn’t be easy for Prince Charles to enter the study room.
He memorized the name of the things that Aurora wanted him to take and then walked to the fireplace and put the paper inside.
There was no more any traces of Aurora’s instruction to him.
After Prince Lester was done with this, he walked inside. He was familiar with the two princes’ schedule, so he just have to wait until Prince Brian was no longer inside the study room.
...
Aurora didn’t pay attention to Prince Lester again after giving the task. To be exact, she watched from the side as Prince Lester burned the paper and then left.
The negotiation was about to start and the representatives from various kingdoms have already arrived.
From the Red Kingdom, it was Queen Rachel.
She’s the concubine queen in the Red Kingdom and also Prince Charles’ mother. She had similar appearance with Charles, blond hair and blue eyes. Besides that, she also looked beautiful but looked a bit fierce.
With her fighting in the Royal Palace for a long time, it was not really strange for her demeanor to be on the fierce side.
Because if she were to show weakness, there would be someone who wanted to take advantage of her. Queen Rachel definitely couldn’t afford to let it happen.
"I’m sure you all have known the main reason why the negotiation is brought forward." Queen Rachel looked at the few people around her. She could see that each and every single one of them only have the thoughts of taking advantage of the situation of the Red Kingdom.
But she also knew that she couldn’t be too tough.
The Red Kingdom truly needed the supply for the war. Even if they have enough supplies from the previous years and so on, but to have higher chance of winning this war, it would be better to exchange unnecessary supplies with the things that they needed.
It was also where this negotiation useful for.
"Indeed." Sand Kingdom’s Prime Minister, Prime Minister Jake, chuckled. "We’ve already prepared more than enough offers for you, Your Majesty~."
Hearing his playful tone, Queen Rachel’s eyes narrowed. This was one of the reasons why she didn’t like to participate in the negotiation. But as the kingdom’s queen, this was one of the duties she had to fulfill.
Of course, she could also send that prime minister.
But that b*stard was on the side of that b*tch, so she couldn’t possibly let them take this power from her. She would be the one to decide on this negotiation and contributed to the Red Kingdom.
"There are some new arrangements made, Your Majesty," Aurora said, her tone remained polite and respectful. No matter what she truly felt inside, she would not show it on the surface.
"Are you trying to take my advantage, Miss Aurora?" Prime Minister Jake glanced at Aurora.
In the past few negotiations, he had suffered greatly in Aurora’s hand. It was to the point that he was doubting his life and then being scolded by his own King. After all, the Sand Kingdom needed these trades for their living.
When the trades were snatched up by Aurora, their profit decreased considerably.
It was frustrating.
So whenever they have a negotiation, Prime Minister Jake didn’t have a good face in front of Aurora.
"This is business, Prime Minister Jake." Aurora showed a smile to Prime Minister Jake. "The winner is the one who could produce more convincing deals. Don’t take it to heart."
More convincing deals.
Prime Minister Jake snorted. He had been working hard in the past year, trying to create better deals just for this negotiation. The sudden war announcement caught him off guard, but he still prepared more than enough.
"Indeed, but this time, I’m the one who will win," Prime Minister Jake said confidently.
Aurora still kept the same polite smile on her face.
No matter whether she won or not, she had tried her best. Besides, she was no longer that eager to strike more deals.
The previous deals from their previous arrangement were still profitable.
Aurora herself had more than enough money and her business was booming under the management of some people in the White Dukedom’s territory. The amount of money she could get as her share from the negotiation was no longer that important.
Of course, it would be better for her to strike some deals.
If she couldn’t even get one deal done, then it would be the same as telling people that she was not capable enough.
"Let’s start from the materials that we need the most." Queen Rachel decided to start the negotiation first.
Considering how Aurora has been taking the deals from the Sand Kingdom in their previous negotiations, it was not surprising for the two sides to be clashing whenever they met. Someone else had to interrupt before the two of them started a battle.
"Weapon and materials to make it. State your offer."
"The Sand Kingdom..."
"The Yellow Kingdom...."
"The Orange Kingdom..."
"What we want is..."
