167 Episode 8 World Diplomacy Breaking Down (1/2)
Did you accept ......?
”Huh. ...... Well, it was a pretty tempting offer. I had my doubts, but as it turns out, I turned it down.
Sasan VIII shrugged his shoulders.
I don't know how much you know about Sirna, but it's a very proud country. They think they are the center of the world. Everyone else is a barbarian. Whenever we try to negotiate diplomatically with them, they always insist that we show them the courtesy of a vassal.
Sasan VIII narrowed his eyes.
Sasan VIII narrowed his eyes, ”He's a great country. I'll give him that. It may be the most powerful country in the world,......, but it's not the center of the world. To be honest, I never liked that country. I doubt I could trust them in the first place.
”But it was a chance to pin down your nemesis, the Kuro Plague, wasn't it?
When Hercule asked, Sasan VIII shook his head in disbelief.
”Emperor of Lemuria, you are a bad person. If we attack the Kuro Plague, you will attack us.
”Well? I'm not so sure about that.
But Hercule would have definitely moved.
No matter how big of a military power Kurotsuki is, if it is sandwiched between the Kingdom of Silk and the Kingdom of Foulds, there is nothing it can do.
If Kuro Thrust is weakened, the Kingdom of Foulds will turn its attention to the Lemurian Empire.
Hercule will have no choice but to mobilize his forces.
If you were at war with the Bulgaron Kingdom, it would be a different story. Just when the end was in sight. Well, what bad timing. No matter how I look at it, I only have one body. I can't take on both you and Emperor Kurostocking.
Sasan VIII let out a sigh of regret.
In fact, Sasan VIII must have been very confused.
Indeed, his feelings were clearly conveyed to Hercule.
And I wanted Cyndyra. To be frank, the land under the control of the Kuro Tongue is not very rich. Well, it's a trade route, but it's a burden to defend. In this respect, Cyndira is wonderful. If we ally with Syrna and take a position with both Kurotsuki and Lemuria, we will not be able to get Sindira. For these reasons, I rejected the alliance with Sirna.
Sasan VIII speaks his mind without hesitation.
It seems as if he's not talking very much. ...... It's now an open fact that Sasan VIII wants Cyndyra.
You can't help it if you hide it.
”So, ...... what does your country's decision to kick off an alliance with the Silk Nation have to do with your country's marriage to the Kuro Rush?
The answer is already on the way: ......
Hercule dared to ask.
Sasan VIII smiled.
Sasan VIII smiled. ”Almost as you expected. I sought a peace treaty with the Princess of Kurotsuki on the condition that she would not intercept Sirna and Kurotsuki. Thus, relations between my country and Kurotsuki became good. It was only recently. It's no wonder you don't know. Because of the distance. Perhaps you'll be hearing from me soon?
”I see. ......
Hercule let out a sigh inwardly.
The distance is still a problem.
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
But there's nothing you can do about that.
I'm sure you've heard of it, but you've never heard of it. Is that what you're saying?
”That's what I'm saying, Emperor of Lemuria.
Hercule pondered.
Sasan VIII's goal is simple and clear: stabilize the western border.
Once the west and north are stabilized, he can direct all of his forces towards Cyndira.
The conquest of Sindhira by the Kingdom of Fars will be more advanced than ever before.
This is not necessarily a good thing for the Lemurian Empire.
The growing power of a virtual enemy is a matter of concern.
But ......
The same is true for Japan.
The eastern border of the Lemurian Empire will be completely solidified.
Hercule will be able to focus all his forces and attention to the west.
Wouldn't that be of some benefit to your country? ...... I hear you're having diplomatic problems with the West at the moment.
You know a lot.
Our intelligence is very good.
But that's before we get to the counterintelligence.
If you ask around the merchants, you will soon find out that the Lemurian Empire is in trouble with the West.
(Now, what to do about ......?)
Either way, Hercule is not going to stand with Fahls.
She may or may not be married to Scheherazade.
But he doesn't want to damage his friendship with Kuro Thrust.
When Hercule is troubled, ......
Sasan VIII opened his mouth.
”Well, I've said a lot of things. I've said a lot of things about the national interest and friendship. ...... Hmm, we are sovereigns, representatives of a country. Of course we have to take care of those things.
That's right. ...... What's wrong with that?
But we're men first, aren't we?
That was a very powerful statement.
It was so powerful that even Hercule could not help but be drawn to it.
”Don't you want the Emperor of Lemuria ......? Don't you want Scheherazade ...... and her breasts and ass!
””!!!!!”
The air froze.
Unusually, the opinions of Hercule, the diplomats of the Lemurian Empire, and the diplomats of the Kingdom of Farus, Todris, Befnum, and the rest of the group overlapped.
What the hell is this guy talking about all of a sudden?
”I thought, when I first saw Helena. Didn't you think, ...... Emperor of Lemuria, that if you missed out on this, you'd be finished as a man? When you saw Scheherazade... Didn't you think that when you protected Scheherazade?
Hercule gulped.
The truth is that Hercule loves big tits.
The bigger the breast, the more attractive it is.
For an elf with long ears, those breasts are amazing.
I can understand why King Sasan VIII abducted and imprisoned Scheherazade's mother, Queen Helena.
Even Hercule wanted to kidnap and imprison Scheherazade.
Or rather, he almost did. ......
Scheherazade is great ...... and even better than Helena. To be frank, I'm both happy and sad why she was born as my daughter. That I'll never get it.
Sasan VIII says the worst thing a father can say.
And Sasan VIII said to Hercule.
You like it as much as I do, don't you? Breasts and ass.
