The Minister of Administration stood up suddenly, put his hands on the table, and looked angry.

The second prince represents the leader of his side.

What's the difference between sending the leader over and losing the battle?

Facing the anger of the Minister of Administration, Hartel remained calm and said softly, "The Second Prince intends to use us to contain the First Prince. When we are both defeated, will you continue to attack?"

After he finished speaking, everyone in Rentam City looked over there with anger in their eyes.

You can't defeat both sides, yet you still try this trick.

The Minister of Administration immediately explained, "We have absolutely no such idea and we sincerely want to restore peace between the two sides."

"Verbal peace is totally unconvincing." Hartle pushed his glasses, "The war between us was not started by Rentam City."

The other side fell silent again.

To put it nicely, the two sides came to negotiate for peace. To put it bluntly, the Second Prince's forces need the help of Rentam City.

You are not in the right, but you still need help from the other party.

This puts the negotiations into a completely passive position.

It changed from negotiation to bargaining, trying to minimize the losses on one's side and save some face.

Thinking quickly in his mind, the Minister of Administration continued, "If His Royal Highness the Second Prince goes to Rentam City, it will have an impact on the overall situation and the morale of the territory's troops. It would be better to replace him with a member who can also represent the royal family, so as to maintain the trust between the two sides."

Hartle looked puzzled, "Who?"

"Princess Natalia, His Highness's official wife." The Minister of Administration said in a serious tone.

Hartle raised his brow.

This person was not mentioned in any of the contacts with Wu Heng.

It sounds like he is a relatively important person in the entire power of the Second Prince.

However, the original plan had already been made in advance, and there was no mention of the princess, which also meant that she was not needed in the plan or was not that important.

He simply shook his head, "This princess may be more important in your kingdom, but what we need is for the second prince to come and settle in Rentam City."

The Minister of Administration still looked gloomy, but did not speak immediately.

Hartel continued, "You still need us to protect the second prince. How do you want us to protect him? Arrange a few level 18 professionals for him? Or let the skeleton army surround him."

"Is placing him in Rentam City the best way? Or do you care more about your face than the life of the Second Prince?"

"The threat from the capital can't be dealt with simply by discussing it. You should know this better than me."

Hartle spoke slowly, and the other party tried to speak several times, but could not find a reason to refute.

This is the fact, and there is no better explanation.

"How do you ensure the safety of His Highness?" the Minister of Administration continued to ask.

Hartle said, "We are willing to talk. If we really want to harm you, it would be a better way to contact the Grand Prince directly."

"You won't do that. The head of the Church is in the capital. If you make any big moves, it will attract their attention."

Perhaps this was an opportunity to fight back, the Minister of Administration said immediately.

"Then what? Do you still expect them to stand on your side?" Hartel said with a smile, and then said: "We have only two conditions, the joint governance of your land, and the second prince's settlement in Rentam City. If you don't agree, then there is no need to continue this negotiation."

The Minister of Administration took a deep breath and shouted, "Miss Hartle, please stay in the tavern for two days. I will report this matter to His Highness immediately, and we will discuss it then."

"Okay, you probably don't want to drag it out too long!" Hartel said coldly.

"Of course!" The Minister of Administration nodded.

Hartle and the others did not stop, but stood up and left with their people.

……

The negotiation hall fell silent again.

The other ministers who accompanied the negotiations also had very grim expressions on their faces.

Whether it was voluntary or forced, they were now bound to the Second Prince.

Judging from the recent negotiations, the Second Prince has reached his limit and needs to negotiate with the city of Rentam in order to deal with the threat from the First Prince.

This made everyone feel uneasy.

I even started thinking about some ways to save myself.

No one wanted to die, and no one wanted to die with the second prince.

After a moment of silence, an official spoke up, "Lord Edwin, what is His Highness's plan?"

The others all looked at the Minister of Administration.

The latter hesitated for a moment, but still said, "We lost some experts in the last attack. His Royal Highness wants to cooperate with Rentam City to contain the eldest prince."

Everyone frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer.

"Sir, please speak frankly! We still have several level 18 professionals. How many troops can we mobilize?" said another official.

The Minister of Administration looked at the other party and said, "I can't tell you the exact number, but it is enough to stabilize the situation at the moment."

"Where's the army?"

"Sufficient defense, but a little lacking in offense."

Even with this answer, there are still many people looking at him with doubt.

We are already talking about joint management rights, how can it be defensive enough?

An official in the distance said, "Will Your Highness choose to go to Rentam City?"

On this side, an official said: "Sending His Highness to Rentam City would make him a man..."

The hostage didn't say everything, but everyone understood what was said.

Everyone fell silent.

If they cooperate with Rentam City, there might be a turnaround. If the deal fails, they will have to find a way to protect themselves.

The Minister of Administration immediately said, "Don't worry too much, I will inform His Highness of the situation here by letter. Let's wait a few days and see how His Highness plans to deal with it."

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

The others nodded in agreement.

The Minister of Administration took out a pen and paper and wrote down the content of the negotiations and the attitudes of the officials.

Then he handed it to the attendant beside him and said, "Send it back."

"Yes!" The servant left with the letter.

……

The princess's residence.

Wu Heng came down from upstairs and a sumptuous dinner was already prepared on the table.

Compared with the previous two days, today's meal became richer starting from the morning.

The princess was wearing a beige embroidered long dress with her hair tied behind her head. Her white and straight calves could be seen under the hem of the skirt.

"Your Highness." The princess saluted with her servants.

"Well, let's eat!" Wu Heng said.

The princess sat down again and said to the maids behind her, "You guys should go down to eat too. I'll call you if there's anything else."

The maids bowed and left.

There were only two people left in the restaurant.

The princess simply ate two bites, put down the cutlery, and looked at him, "Do you use two sticks to eat over there?"

"Chopsticks, don't you think it's convenient?" Wu Heng picked up the meat slices skillfully and put them into his mouth.

"I've seen you use it this way." The princess continued, "Sir, are you married?"

Wu Heng glanced at her and said, "I have a few maids who gave birth to a daughter for me."

"How many?" The princess looked curious.

"There are seven of us, including you."

The princess' eyelashes trembled and her face turned a little red, but she didn't say anything.

After signing the slave contract, there is nothing wrong with calling her a maid, it sounds better than a slave.

"So, you are a mage, and a very powerful one," the princess said directly.

Signing a slave contract not only restricted the slaves, but also added a burden to one's own soul.

There is a limit to the number of contracts each person can sign.

Someone like Wu Heng, who has signed the seventh one, must be a high-level professional.

Wu Heng did not answer.

The princess continued, "Your daughter must be very cute, right?"

"Cute, I'll take you to see it when I have the chance." Wu Heng said.

The princess hummed, then said, "What about the others? Do you only like that one maid?"

It sounds like she is more interested in herself.

"There are more orc maids."

The princess' eyes widened, and she suddenly said, "So you like powerful women."

Wu Heng rolled his eyes at her and said, "There are also orcs that are close to humans, but they just retain some of the characteristics of orcs."

"You like hairier ones?"
