Pirates: Starting from the North Sea to dominate the world
Chapter 44 Negotiations
In King Robnell's palace, the banquet has been going on for seven days.
Except for the presence on the first day, Lu Fan and Athena were absent for the next few days.
However, this does not affect the joy that everyone enjoys the banquet.
During these seven days, the whole kingdom celebrated together, all immersed in a sea of joy.
Because today is the last day of the banquet, everyone is waiting for the arrival of Athena and Lu Fan to draw a successful end to this happy time.
Finally, after a long wait, Athena took Lu Fan's arm and walked to the banquet venue with elegant steps.
The arrival of the two immediately became the focus of the audience, and under the booing of Anilu and Luo, a small climax was triggered.
I saw Athena's face was rosy, dignified and noble, and she looked happy.
But Lu Fan was just the opposite. His eyes were darkened, his legs were trembling, and he was listless, as if he hadn't rested well.
At this time, a noble lady from the royal family came up with a wine glass and said flatteringly:
"Lord Sea God, Your Majesty, without the two of you, the banquet will become dull!"
"The duchess can really talk, it's like eating honey, thank you!"
Athena clinked glasses with the lady and took a sip.
"Huh? Did Your Majesty drink yogurt just now? There seems to be some left in the corner of his mouth."
The lady pointed to her face with her finger and made a gesture.
"Yeah, look at my carelessness!"
Athena wiped the drop of milky white yogurt into her mouth with her fingers, blushing even more, and gave Lu Fan a resentful look.
Seeing this, Lu Fan immediately felt guilty, shouted haha, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
He dealt with the crowd who came to compliment him all the way, and finally came to the side of Enilu and the others.
In addition to Enilo, Luo and Drake, there are many residents of Blue Sky Island, including Marx in the bakery and Kurapika in the clinic. There are more than a dozen people here.
Seeing Lu Fan coming, they all stood up and bowed to Lu Fan.
"Don't be too polite, just be casual! Auntie, do you feel better now?"
Lu Fan responded to the crowd and helped Eryue up alone.
"Thank you, Lord Sea God, for your concern. Thanks to you, all my illnesses are cured!"
Er Yue looked flattered.
"Anilu, you can rest assured about these things!"
Lu Fan joked.
"Boss, my life will be yours from now on!"
Enel looked serious.
"I don't want it, I'm not interested in men!"
Lu Fan's disgusted face made everyone laugh.
Suddenly, a soldier of the kingdom hurried in, knelt down on one knee towards Athena, and said:
"Report to Your Majesty, the Chief of Naval Staff asked to see His Majesty, and said that he would discuss with His Majesty the disposal of the prisoners."
Athena looked at Lu Fan, saw Lu Fan nodded, and then said:
"Please come in!"
Soon, the Chief of Staff of the Navy, He, came to the banquet hall under the guidance of the soldiers. Her short body was followed by two burly men. Unclear appearance.
Athena sat on the throne, her whole body was full of majesty.
The people at the banquet made way for a passage, and Crane and the two attendants walked along the passage and stopped at a position twenty steps away from Athena.
"I don't know Your Majesty, when are you going to release our naval soldiers and return our navy's warships?"
Although Crane is short, her tone of voice gives people a strong sense of oppression, which stems from her status in the navy and her own strength.
Athena didn't expect the other party to be so direct, and she went straight to the point as soon as she spoke, which immediately made her feel pressured.
At this time, everyone on the scene looked at her, wondering how she would respond to this question.
"I'm very sorry, but we don't plan to release them. Also, the warship is our warship, and there is no reason to return it. Don't you think so? Lieutenant General He!"
Athena's eyes were indifferent, and her upright figure showed the majesty of the royal family.
Lu Fan gave her a thumbs up from a distance, expressing his appreciation for her.
This move almost made Athena smile, but fortunately she endured it, otherwise she would be embarrassing.
Athena's answer was beyond Crane's expectation. He didn't expect that a small kingdom would dare to talk to herself like this.
The king of a small country like the kingdom of Robnir, whoever saw her would not be respectful.
He forced himself to hold back the anger in his heart, and said without changing his expression:
"According to what you said, are you planning to lose face to our navy and turn against us? You have to think about the consequences!"
Crane's words once again tugged at the heartstrings of everyone present, especially the word "consequence", which was a blatant threat!
But Athena still maintained an unruffled posture, not afraid at all, and said without giving an inch:
"Give you face? Thanks to you, you can still say it. Why should I give face to a group of devils who are willing to destroy our kingdom at the expense of their lives?"
"Hmph, aren't you afraid that our navy will launch a demon-slaying order against you again?"
He snorted coldly, no longer hiding the anger in his heart.
After hearing Crane's words, Athena hesitated, if she did it again, all the citizens would collapse.
Lu Fan kept observing Athena from the corner, thinking that this little girl is still too tender.
"We very much welcome you to continue to send us warships and captives. Hurry up and launch the Demon Slaying Order! I can't wait!"
As soon as the voice came out, everyone present was shocked immediately.
Lu Fan walked slowly from the corner to Athena, with an arrogant smile on his face.
"You... who are you!"
Crane felt a strong coercion, with an expression as if he was facing a big enemy.
"Going down to Lu Fan!"
Lu Fan looked at He and the two people behind him disdainfully, and finally set his eyes on the man in the cloak, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Tell me, how to release those navy soldiers and return our navy warships, don't challenge my patience!"
Crane said with a straight face.
Lu Fan looked up at the people around him, saw the fear of war and the hope for peace from their eyes, and said lightly:
"It's not impossible to want us to release the captured navy soldiers, but you must declare to the world that the navy will never wage war against the Kingdom of Robnir again, and you must report to the citizens of the Kingdom of Robnir for the previous actions that issued the Demon Slaying Order." Apologize!"
Crane fell into deep thought, and after hesitantly glanced at the man in the cloak behind her, she said helplessly:
"Yes! What about our warship!"
"As for the warship, since it is a prize, it belongs to the kingdom's property. If you want to go back, you can redeem it with money! A warship costs 2 million Berries. I will give you a discount. You can give 1 million Berries!"
Lu Fan bared his teeth and smiled like a profiteer.
"Impossible, aren't you clearly taking advantage of the fire?"
Crane refused, trembling with anger. Since she joined the navy, she had never had such a passive negotiation. The most annoying thing was that she couldn't do anything to the other party!
"Don't get me wrong, how could I take advantage of the fire to rob! We are talking about business, yes, we are talking about business!"
Lu Fan had already seen through her thoughts, and replied confidently.
"This is absolutely impossible, and I can't make the decision! How about changing the condition!"
Crane refused with a face of embarrassment.
Lu Fan smiled even more, and said playfully:
"I know you can't be the master, but the person behind you can, you think I'm right? Marshal of the Warring States Period!"
Except for the presence on the first day, Lu Fan and Athena were absent for the next few days.
However, this does not affect the joy that everyone enjoys the banquet.
