Chapter 454 Negotiation
"My sword empire helped the fox clan. The bright fox clan in the sword empire lived a good life, which saved the future of the fox clan. As for the remaining fox clans, you have no responsibility or obligation to surrender to my Sword Empire. You're welcome. No one is a philanthropist. Since Miss Armanda is sitting here, she should have this awareness. Arcado said rudely.
Negotiating with an emperor, especially a successful emperor, is really not what Armanda is willing to do. After listening to his harsh refusal, her heart gushed out bitterness and sweetness. She lowered her head and said, "I'm abrupt. So please make it clear how the fox clan can survive in the Holy Sword Empire."
Acado shook his head and inadvertently said, "Miss Amanda, isn't it enough to have an equal and fair living space that will not be bullied by anyone?"
Amanda was silent and didn't say anything. Acardo pressed his hand on the table and kept tapping the table with his index finger, one after another, as if hitting her heart.
She had the intention to test Arcado with her beauty and charm, but she had no choice but to fit the atmosphere at this time. Arcado glanced at Amanda and saw her bite her lips tightly. Her snow-white skin reflected crystal through the afterglow of the sunset, forming a beautiful arc on the slightly raised corners of her mouth, showing her toughness.
"Your Majesty." Aimanda was silent for a long time and finally said, "If it's just these, then the future of the fox clan is really difficult to guarantee. I want more guarantees. For these guarantees, the fox clan is willing to pay the price."
She looked carefully at the monarch in front of her: "We are willing to choose the most beautiful woman every year and contribute it to Your Majesty as a tribute, and the elders and leaders of the fox will always live in Romere City as hostages to ensure the loyalty of the fox to your Majesty."
"But the safety of the fox must be ensured, and we want your majesty to give us the privilege of trial and tax-free preferential treatment." She spoke in a little guilty tone, but she trembled and persisted, and finally finished what she wanted to say.
The statement of hostages. There have been dynasties in Arcado's previous life, and it is also a loss for Armanda to compromise like this.
However, Arcado is not very interested in this kind of thing. He hummed twice and shook his head and said, "Miss Amanda, I advise you not to play any bargaining. The so-called hostage is just a group of people. The most valuable people in the world are people. The least valuable person is also a person!"
He stared at Armanda and asked, "It's all here. I deeply regret that you fox clan have not yet set your position right. This is the Holy Sword Empire! It's not the freedom of a few people that can be exchanged for benefits! And I'll tell you! I hate sending women for profit. Please don't challenge my bottom line again! I don't think it will be a good deal if we talk about tomorrow!"
Acudo's most resentful thing is to trade with women. Lin Ria is a scar that has solidified in his heart, and Yue Linger used herself to force him to fight against Yongye a few days ago is his new injury. Now that Amanda mentions this kind of thing, how can he not be angry?
Emanda's little hand was tightly pinched, her lips were white, her face looked dim, and she pondered for a long time, and the room was deadly silent. Akado sighed pitifully, played with the gradually cooling tea cup helplessly and fell silent.
With a soft bang, Arcado put the teacup in his hand on the table. Armanda woke up from meditation and was shocked to see his movements. She cried faintly and stopped her in amazed voice, "Your Majesty, you can't go!"
"Who said I was leaving?" Akado laughed. He paused slightly and looked serious: "However, Miss Amanda, you really have to hurry up. The time spent now is very precious to me. Every minute later, I have to make time elsewhere to make up for it."
"Your Majesty," Armanda bit her lips tightly and said with a little unwillingness, "Do you agree to any other conditions except privilege?"
"Please don't discuss the matter of provincial autonomy!" Aka pressed the teacup heavily on the table, and the pounding sound made Amanda tremble all over. Seeing that he looked firm and magnificent, he seemed to be an insurmountable mountain.
He waved his hand and said firmly, "The fox clan originally surrendered to our sword empire. I have no discrimination, treat them equally, and even have some biases in some policies, which is already the biggest concession. It is really difficult for you to have a provincial land autonomy."
He sounded like a bell and was magnificent. At this critical moment, Amanda seemed to be much stronger and said firmly: "There may be more land in a province. We fox people are willing to make concessions one more step, as long as half a province. This is our bottom line! It can't be less!"
"Don't talk so easily! Miss Amanda!" Arcado shook his head and said leisurely, "If you say there is no way to negotiate, I think you can leave, and I won't waste time. It's also a way to capture your fox clan one by one, but I don't know if you still have the strength to bargain at that time."
"Well, the leader of the fox clan and I will discuss this issue in a few days. What does your majesty think?" Amanda had to retreat and give up her plan to make a quick decision. She had other tricks that she didn't use and didn't want to compromise in this unfavorable situation.
Acardo nodded: "Of course, Miss Amanda is really a generation of negotiators, which is simply impeccable." His Majesty the emperor of the Sword Empire praised, and Yu Qianzian also nodded and said yes.
Is it impeccable? Impeccable and suppressed by you can't raise your head? Amanda thought to herself.
"I still have to stay here for a few days. I don't know if your majesty will appreciate it and have dinner with Amanda. I know there is a restaurant at the end of St. Rudolph Avenue, which is very good." Knowing that Arcado would no longer make any concessions, Amanda stopped mentioning the surrender of the fox clan and began private communication.
"Of course, I know that Guangming Fox Western Restaurant is my industry." Akadoko laughed and said, "The fox people there are all working for me."
Looking at Amanda's shocked expression, Arcado continued, "When I meet such a beautiful lady for the first time, I should treat her. It's at the banquet hall of the palace, Vito, let someone prepare it. Since Miss Armanda likes it, we can have steak for dinner."
