"What? You can't say the name? How can the Nasbia Empire participate in this proposal and write down the name of the suitor? This is the most basic etiquette!" The Minister of Ceremony spoke politely, but he felt something on the spot in his heart.
The urge to tear up credentials - If envoys from all over the world play charades like this, don't ask for this marriage. Everyone can go home and hug the little girl and have fun. Why are you crazy here...
There was silence in the conference room. Everyone knew that this was a challenge from the Sbia Empire to the Liva Empire, and someone had to speak out.
"My special envoy, I am not a talkative prince! You have done this very inappropriately. You don't even have a name. How can you ask for this marriage?" At this point, Prince Riva, who has the highest status in the room, had to speak.
, he put down the water glass in his hand and sighed, "Yes, the relationship between our two countries is very harmonious. Emperor Keda has a very good personal relationship with the emperor of his country and even with this prince, but we can't make such a joke.
?This is a national event, and it doesn’t even have a name. How can we explain it to the whole country?”
After the prince finished speaking, everyone else's eyes immediately focused on Cohen to see how he would defend himself.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Princess, the Sibia Empire is not joking." Cohen slowly shook his head, "There is a reason why we cannot name this royal family member. In fact, we name him as a royal family member.
To propose marriage in the name of someone else is taking a very big risk - if it weren’t for this member of the royal family’s insistence, the Sibia Empire would not have proposed marriage.”
"It's strange." Under the hint of the eldest princess, a messenger said: "There are only a few members of the Sibia royal family, and there are only two generations of male members. I don't know when there will be an additional royal family that cannot be named.
member?"
"Yes! Everyone in the Keda family is excellent. Who in the Divine Alliance doesn't know their names? Emperor Korn Keda, Prince Visu Keda, Prince Lek Keda, and Prince Shifta Keda.
"Another messenger took over, "Emperor Cohen Keda will not talk about it. Prince Weisu is happily married, and the other two princes are preparing for a grand wedding. I really can't think of any other male royal members!
"
"Even if there is, there seems to be no need to conceal the name, right?" The topic circled around and returned to the eldest princess. She said softly: "Concealing the name, what kind of situation does it put us in? What are we sitting here for today?
Are you here? This princess has said before that marriage proposals must be courteous, but the Sibia Empire’s behavior does not even care about the most basic etiquette. I suggest that the Sibia Empire’s proposal be disqualified.”
"Your Highness, Princess, please calm down, and don't be anxious, everyone! I believe that the Sibia Empire will not do anything rude." At this time, the left prime minister who had been silent finally spoke. He looked at Cohen and smiled.
He said: "Special envoy, could you please explain this matter in detail? Everyone is a little confused."
"Okay, of course there is no problem. But I have a request. Please don't spread what I say below, because it is not only related to the lives of many people, but also related to the outcome of the next war between gods and demons." Cohen said calmly.
Smiling, he glanced at the people around him. After everyone nodded in agreement, he spoke, "Everyone, what you will hear next will be a big secret..."
"As for this member of the royal family, please forgive my little viscount's ignorance. I only know that this member of the royal family has been living in the Demon Alliance and is very prestigious among the upper-class nobles. In the last war, he served as
The alliance made a huge contribution to the war. In view of the cruelty of the war between gods and demons, our emperor thought twice and decided to let this member of the royal family continue to lurk among the nobles of the demon alliance to pass on first-hand intelligence to the next divine alliance.
." Cohen looked around, "So, every word I say here will threaten the safety of this member of the royal family. The Sibia Empire can only say so much."
While Cohen was talking, although the three princesses were still calm, the ministers of Riva sitting there could no longer bear it. Although everyone had different thoughts, they all summed up.
Yes - members of the royal family of your Sibia Empire are lurking in the Demon Alliance. That is your own business. What does it have to do with us? Don't use such words to deal with us.
Cohen was still stating his "reason for not being able to name", but the envoys had already accumulated strong dissatisfaction in their hearts. If the Sibia Empire couldn't name the suitor, it should be kicked aside, no matter how powerful it was militarily.
, anyway, this is their own fault... The eyes of several envoys and princesses intertwined in the conference room, dissatisfaction brewing, and it was about to trigger a fierce argument only for Sibia.
At this time, the left prime minister winked at the prince.
"Let's do it! It's getting late. We should take a rest today. I don't think everyone should rush to make a decision." Seeing that Cohen had difficulty in dealing with so many envoys alone, and there were three princesses eyeing him, the prince accepted the offer from the left prime minister.
He hinted and nodded to him, "Lord Zuo Xiang, what do you think?"
"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Emperor wants to decide this matter as soon as possible and not postpone it until tomorrow." The left minister replied with a smile: "But the suitors recommended by the envoys all have their own merits, and we can do it at the same time."
It’s really hard to decide. I agree with His Highness the Crown Prince’s suggestion. How about we all take a break and make a formal decision tomorrow afternoon?”
Now that the prince with the highest status has spoken, everyone cannot object and can only agree with the left prime minister's suggestion. But just before the prince announced the end, the left prime minister spoke again, "Special envoy Sibia, regarding the suitor you mentioned.
I completely believe the truth about the situation, and I firmly believe that my colleagues will also believe your words, and Emperor Sibia will never deceive us."
"Thank you for your trust." Cohen stood up and nodded in thanks, thinking that the left prime minister is worthy of being a prince and knows how to express his support at the appropriate time. "Our Sbia Empire has gone through countless bloody battles under the leadership of the emperor.
, has been standing to this day, and has not once withstood the test of life and death of blood and fire. How could such an empire and such an emperor use lies to deceive you? Every word Sibiya said is true.
There is no doubt about it!”
"I agree with the special envoy and understand the suitor's difficulties." Zuo Xiang smiled slightly, "But understanding and believing are one thing, and the etiquette of marriage proposal is another. We can't do it without a name.
Think about it - this is our difficulty, and we hope the special envoy will understand. Otherwise, we will not be able to explain to His Majesty the Emperor, nor to the people of the country."
"What's so hard to explain?" Cohen was shocked, "I once talked about this matter with the emperor of your country..."
"But the truth is that I have not received any instructions from His Majesty the Emperor." Zuo Xiang immediately interrupted Cohen, and then smiled apologetically, "Our requirements are not high. As long as the special envoy submits the name of the suitor before tomorrow afternoon, we will consider it carefully.
."
Cohen did not answer for a moment, but he was analyzing the left prime minister's intentions in his heart. No one in the audience expected that the left prime minister would say such a thing, but his position was not biased towards any side.
He was just asking Sibia to provide the most basic information... Although the prince remained calm, he was also a little confused by the performance of the left prime minister.
"It is a great honor to ask the Guangming God Clan to preside over the wedding. It is also a perfect thing to marry a neighbor like the Sibia Empire." The left minister continued his point of view, "But we cannot just because of the outcome of the matter.
In this way, the country's most precious princess, Her Royal Highness, is married off to an unknown suitor. In that case, where is the dignity of Her Highness the Princess? Where is the dignity of the Liva Empire? What about the envoys from various countries? "
This sounds extremely fair, and everyone can tell that the left prime minister is now obviously biased towards Sibia. It seems that as long as Cohen names her name, the little princess can marry into the Sibia Empire... But at this moment, Cohen
But he would never say this name.
If he was proposing for someone else, Cohen would just go with the flow and give a fake name. With his cunning mind, he would have hundreds of names, let alone one. But this time, Cohen was proposing for Fei.
When Fichet proposed marriage, it was an honest proposal for his brother. He would never secretly fabricate a false name. In Cohen's mind, using a pseudonym to propose to Fichet was an insult to Fichet...
"Your Majesty the Special Envoy." Finally, the Left Prime Minister ended with this sentence, "Sibiya, you have one day to think about it."
The prince stood up to announce the end, glanced at the left prime minister, and then walked straight out of the conference room.
After the princesses left, the envoys and ministers began to leave. Cohen scratched his head in annoyance. The last one walked out of the room. As soon as he stepped out, he saw the Tansi envoy standing by the door. An attendant was carefully holding a handkerchief.
Wipe a little dust off his leather boots.
"It's really difficult for you to be a special envoy who cannot name the suitor."
Prince Ulysses smiled faintly at Cohen, his brows no longer as fierce as before, "However, sending an envoy to propose marriage like this is the usual style of His Majesty Cohen Keda. To put it bluntly, this
The emperor is very good at giving people problems."
"Why didn't His Highness surprise this envoy?" Cohen fulfilled the mission of an envoy, but at the same time he had to avoid showing off his flaws. "The magnanimity of His Highness when he spoke just now really makes me admire him. His Majesty the Emperor of our country once said to my envoy,
His Highness the Prince is one of the most powerful figures in the Divine Alliance, and I only truly understood the meaning of this sentence today."
"His Majesty Al Qaeda said it as a compliment. Don't take it seriously. Your behavior of banging your head on the table that night was commendable." The prince waved his hand and invited Cohen to walk side by side with him. "On the table, everyone was talking.
You must use every ounce of your strength to fight for the empire, and then you can say that you are worthy of the empire's cultivation."
"The envoy agrees very much with what the prince said." Cohen reminded Prince Ulysses, "but has the prince thought about how to strive for greater interests for the Tansi Empire?"
"I once said that it is difficult to decide whether one side is public or private." Ulysses laughed, "Do you want to succeed, special envoy? I am looking forward to your performance tomorrow."
After saying this, Prince Ulysses strode out, leaving Cohen alone in the passage cursing secretly.
In the evening, Cohen, who had arranged everything, arrived at the prince's residence to discuss tomorrow's affairs with the prince. He understood that tomorrow's proposal would turn into a fierce confrontation between messengers. The left prime minister, who played an important role in the proposal, had already preceded him.
He arrived at the Prince's Mansion in one step and was waiting for him with the Prince.
As soon as he stepped into the study, Cohen saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with an unhappy face, and the Prime Minister sitting beside him with a calm expression.
"Special envoy, please take a seat. This is the Zuo Prime Minister, the prince's confidant. We can talk about everything." The prince asked Cohen to sit down and gave him the simplest introduction. Then he turned to look at the Zuo Prime Minister and said, "Zuo Xiang."
Prime Minister, the special envoy is here, please repeat what you just said to me so that the special envoy can understand your plan."
"Oh, it turns out you two have already made a plan? That's great." Cohen said with a smile on his face, "Please make it clear, Mr. Left Prime Minister."
"That's right. The current situation is very complicated. For example, in the ceremony just now, if we don't stop it, the situation will become very dangerous." The left minister nodded to Cohen, "I can't name the suitor.
This situation is a bit unbelievable, and most people cannot accept it. Amid the public outrage, the prince and I tried our best to defend the situation, but the situation was still not completely under our control. The weight of the two of us... was not enough to suppress the entire situation.
"
"Then...can this situation be changed at tomorrow's meeting?" Cohen asked eagerly.
"If the envoys from various countries, the three princesses, and the ministers in Riva all object, the prince and I will have less weight, so we must increase the stakes at tomorrow's meeting." Zuo Xiang smiled, "Tonight
, the prince and I will invite His Majesty the Emperor to attend tomorrow's meeting. With Your Majesty here, especially if you have notified His Majesty in advance, it is certainly impossible for His Majesty to refute you. If His Majesty does not object, how can other ministers dare to object? As long as you inform His Majesty in advance,
The reasons explained by His Majesty are enough, so that His Majesty can push the boat along, and with His Royal Highness and I dealing with each other, we can say that we can win this game surely."
"Special envoy, what did your father say?" The prince interjected: "Does my father have a clear attitude?"
"When my envoy told His Majesty the Emperor about this matter, His Majesty the Emperor acquiesced."
Cohen immediately explained to the two men, "His Majesty the Emperor was angry when we talked about this matter, but after listening to my explanation, His Majesty understood my envoy's difficulties, nodded and said to me
,'Don't expect me to help you, just figure it out yourself'..."
"Yes, this is a very clear-cut acquiescence. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor still likes the Sibia Empire in his heart." The left minister turned to the prince and said: "Your Highness, please write a post to express your views on Sibia.
The benefits of Asian marriage. Coupled with my post, His Majesty the Emperor should have enough reasons to come forward."
"Okay!" The prince nodded in agreement, "Prime Minister Zuo, you should also make more arrangements for the other officials attending the meeting, and make sure things are done more securely."
"Of course, I will make arrangements now." Zuo Xiang stood up and saluted the prince, "Time is pressing, so I'll take my leave first."
After the left minister left, the prince still had a dull expression. Cohen thought for a while and immediately understood in his heart that it was probably because the prince heard that the old Emperor Riva was being invited to come forward and felt that he could not show off his power in tomorrow's occasion, so he decided to do so.
Feeling down... The prince's first priority at present is to ensure that Sibia's proposal is successful. Only if the proposal is successful, will both parties have a basis for cooperation, so he cannot refuse such a plan.
"Your Highness, the Left Chancellor is really shrewd and capable!" Cohen broke the silence with soft words, "Having such a senior official help His Highness take care of everything, Your Highness must be very worry-free, right?"
"What the special envoy said is that it is indeed much easier for me to do things with his help." The prince smiled, looked at Cohen and said, "Does the special envoy doubt his intentions when he asks this question?"
"Please forgive me for this, Your Highness, because I am in alliance with His Highness the Crown Prince. With the full support of the Sibia Empire, Your Highness the Crown Prince's noble status will not change, so I absolutely trust His Highness the Crown Prince."
Cohen nodded and said: "However, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will not completely trust anyone else, even if he is the left prime minister."
"Haha, the special envoy doesn't need to mind about this." The prince said with a smile: "When this prince was young, the left prime minister has been my prince's man... But the special envoy does not need to know this, I promise that we will succeed tomorrow.
of."
"Speaking of which, there is one more thing I want to reveal to the prince about tomorrow's meeting."
Cohen stood up and took two steps forward, "After knowing this news, when everyone is in a daze tomorrow, Your Highness, Your Highness, will be able to speak more proactively."
"Oh?" A person like the prince would never let go of any opportunity for self-expression. Hearing what Cohen said, he immediately became energetic, "Say."
"I believe everyone today was surprised by what I said about 'inviting the Gods to host the wedding during the wedding.' They thought we were talking nonsense. In fact, we are not sending an invitation to the Gods, but the Gods will definitely participate! About this suitor
The name of the Protoss of Light is known to them, and even the fact that the suitor is lurking in the demonic race is known to the Protoss of Light." Cohen lied with a serious face, "In fact, his sacrifice has moved the Protoss, and he
My marriage to Her Royal Highness the Little Princess has been blessed by the Light God Clan... At tomorrow's meeting, at the appropriate time, I will announce the news loudly, and then it will be up to you, Your Royal Highness..."
"That's it!" The prince chuckled, his brows beaming with joy, "Then the prince will have to prepare his speech carefully."
"Your Royal Highness is both civil and military, do you still need to prepare for your speech?" Cohen flattered him.
"However, I should inform the left prime minister of such news to avoid any unexpected situation." The prince thought for a moment, "Don't worry, special envoy, I know what's going on."
"In this case, I will take my leave." Cohen secretly laughed in his heart, "I heard that the night in Kinshasa is extremely charming, so I have to find a place tonight to take a good look." (To be continued)
