53 53. Conclusion Of The Meeting (1/2)

As the meeting continues the king noticed the agreeing nobles in the room, he also saw nobles who are opposing the cultural exchange that will happen in the city.

The King then spoke to the nobles, ” Now we have come to a plan about dealing with the country of Dariel, but now I would like to hear about the opinion of Sir Rogen about our planned cultural exchange.”

The king immediately looks at Rogen and spoke, ” Well now sir Rogen what are your opinions and thoughts about the cultural exchange?”

Rogen replied to the king, ” Your highness I think it will be a great idea to do the cultural exchange of our countries. It will be very beneficial for both of our countries. The cultural exchange can show us our unique differences in culture, people, and beliefs.”

”This could also help our country to give a better understanding of your country, in return, you will also be able to improve our understanding of your country.”

”So I do not oppose this cultural exchange, but I will not promise that I can show you everything that we make in our country. You already know what are most of these items that will not be shown in the cultural exchange.”

King Danilo nodded his as a sign of agreement towards Rogen, who spoke his thoughts about the cultural exchange.

King Danilo immediately asks the noble people in the room, ” Sir Rogen has spoken about his thoughts on his mind and has completely agreed on the cultural exchange that will happen. Now I will be asking everyone here who agrees and disagree with the cultural exchange.”

”Now let's see who agrees on this cultural exchange you may raise your hands, it is to show that you agree with the said cultural exchange.”

Seven people raised their hand showing their support for the cultural exchange. The most noticed people raising their hands were Rafael, Lyra, and the noble merchant.

The king then now, ” those who disagree with the cultural exchange you may raise your hands.”

Four people raised their hands, the most notable person was the former general Argus, which showed an annoyed expression after seeing that they were outnumbered.

The king then continued so those who did not raise their hands I will consider them as undecided. But I will be waiting for their decision after we took a break, we will return here after lunch.”

Argus immediately hit the table hard and spoke, ” Hey are you guys really gonna let some barbarians show up in our capital city, can you imagine how shameful would it be if they caused chaos during the festival, so I suggest that you should disagree wi this cultural exchange.”

The noble merchant immediately spoke, ” Argus, can't you see how good that country will affect our economy if we started trading with them. So I'm agreeing with this cultural exchange to see if they are lying or not about the products that the prince told us. Also, imagine how valuable would be to use those medications that can cure the two plagues that wiped out millions before.”

” So I suggest you should support this cultural exchange to see the benefits and aids that we can use in improving our peoples' lives.”

All the undecided people were now getting confused about who should they support, the merchant who wants to help the country grow economically, or the general who wants to protect the country from possible enemies or invaders.

The king immediately noticed the undecided people showed their resolve to show support.

The king spoke again, ” Now who of you agrees to the cultural exchange?”

Three people raised their hands to show they're decided on supporting the cultural exchange. The two people who did not raise showed support to the ideology of Argus.

Argus immediately commented, ” You are all fools for letting the possible new enemy enter safely.”

Nobody replied to Argus's words, but you can see that they were determined in their decision of supporting the cultural exchange event.

The king spoke immediately after seeing the results, ” Now we have come to an agreement of hosting a cultural exchange event in the festival, the country of Dariel would also prepare a cultural exchange in their own country which our culture will be showed there.”
