166 Episode 7 World Diplomacy (1/2)

Don!

Hercule hits the wall hard.

Scheherazade's body trembles.

”Oh, um, ......, Your Majesty.

”Scheherazade......

Hercule lifts Scheherazade's chin lightly with his right hand.

Scheherazade closed her eyes and ...... their lips came together.

Then Hercule slowly pulls Scheherazade into his arms.

Scheherazade's large mounds pressed against Hercule's body, ...... and Hercule salivated.

She put her lips close to the long, shapely ears peeking out from her long, beautiful blonde hair.

And ......

”Scheherazade......

He whispers.

Then Scheherazade leaned into Hercule as if she were weakening.

”Oh, ...... Your Majesty, no, no. I'm, uh, the Princess of Foulds.

”Yes, you are. Yes, I am. ...... But I'm Messianic.

”Well, yes, but ...... oh, no.

Scheherazade said, pulling Hercule away.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sorry ......

”No, it's fine. I rather like you.

Hercule said and stroked Scheherazade's hair.

Scheherazade's ears flushed red.

”Long time no see, Emperor of Lemuria.

”Long time no see, ......, though it's been a month. King Farus.

Hercule and Sasan VIII exchanged greetings.

They were at the middle of the Hurath River, which was always used for diplomatic negotiations between Lemuria and Phars.

Today, they had come to sign a treaty that would have a profound effect on the future relationship between the two countries.

It is a marriage between the pure-blooded High Elves of Lemuria and Fahls.

Both the Empire of Lemuria and the Kingdom of Fahls are nations that hold the supremacy of the High Elves.

Just as there are seventy-six holy families in the Lemurian Empire, there are thirty-seven aristocratic families in the Kingdom of Foulds.

The fact that the Lemurian Empire has a larger number does not mean that it has a larger population of pure-blooded High Elves.

Both empires have about the same population of pureblooded High Elves.

Now, both countries have a policy of intermarriage between purebloods in order to maintain the purity of their blood. ......

Actually, there are two problems.

One is that the ages of the people do not always match.

Elves are a long-lived race, and they have very few children.

Therefore, there can be an age difference of about 50 years.

However, this is not very good.

If possible, we should marry people who are close to ...... in age.

Another reason is that the blood becomes thicker.

For example, Hercule and Karolina are actually quite close in blood.

It's not dangerously close, but it's still very close.

It is known to some extent as a rule of thumb in both countries that children with disabilities are more likely to be born when closely related people marry.

Even so, the birth rate is low.

In addition to this, if the rate of children with disabilities increases, it could shake the ...... national system.

The nobles of both countries were vaguely worried.

Therefore, Hercule and Sasan VIII planned an international marriage.

In other words, they planned to marry a woman from the Lemurian Empire to the Kingdom of Phars and a woman from the Kingdom of Phars to the Lemurian Empire.

The idea was to exchange and dilute the blood between the two countries.

Needless to say, this is a very dangerous policy for both countries.

After all, the two countries are still virtual enemies.

If war were to break out, the married woman would be caught between her husband and her parents.

There was also the issue of religion.

As we know, the Lemurian Empire is a messianic nation, and the Kingdom of Fars is a holy fire nation.

Even though both countries do not allow interfaith marriages ......, it is an issue that must be handled with care.

Therefore, Hercule and Sasan VIII sent diplomats to each other, and sometimes they met face to face to discuss the matter.

As a result, the Lemurian-Faerus Friendship and Marriage Treaty was finally concluded.

The contents of the treaty were simply as follows.

Both countries will marry the same number of girls.

Even if war broke out between the two countries, the marriage relationship, once established, would not be denied.

Both countries respect each other's religion.

Children born in both countries follow their national religion.

Women who marry swear allegiance to their country.

A woman who marries must swear allegiance to her country. But she must return home.

In the event of the death of her husband, she may choose to return home or remain.

If the husband dies, the woman can choose whether to return home or remain.

There are other detailed rules and regulations, but I will not go into them here.

It is also important to note that ......

This marriage is supposed to be done secretly in both countries.

This is because the Lemurian Empire is allied with the Kuro Thrust.

The reason is that the Lemurian Empire is allied with the Kuro Thrust, and it would not be convenient for them to exchange blood with the Phallus ......

The reason for this is that it is not very convenient to exchange blood with the Phallus, even though we are both allied against the Phallus.

Let's get this thing signed.
