Damn it! What on earth did I do to release this monster?
What should I do? What should I do? What should the empire do?
As the empire that offended him first! It may be the first to become his enemy! The wisest thing to do now is to just surrender and surrender!
If you look at it from a personal point of view...surrendering directly is the smartest thing to do, but...the Ainz Ooal Gown in front of you is not a normal human being!
Surrender directly? Let the people of the empire accept the rule of monsters? Will the people be happy? Maybe he will turn into a death knight...
What to do! What to do! If there are those ministers around me, we can discuss it with them.
Now...now the fate of the entire empire is completely under his control. If he is not careful, the entire empire will be doomed! In this case...it's better to take a gamble! Gilniv thought.
"Then I have a proposal, shall we form an alliance?" Gilniv proposed, yes! An alliance! But this will definitely be rejected. After the rejection, additional conditions that are more beneficial to them will be added!
Sure enough... Before Ainz Ooal Gown could express his opinion, his subordinates all had their opinions. This is normal, right... Then he followed the wishes of his subordinates and put forward additional conditions, Gilniv thought.
"No noise! Be quiet!"
The actions of Ainz Ooal Gown in front of him... made Gilniv even more uneasy. This action seemed like he had ruled everyone for a long time in his life, and it was a natural action. It was very natural. This should be what a true ruler would do.
It has the dignity.
Then the next step is the real drama. Although I know that the worst result may make the empire become a satellite of the monster in front of me, at least it still has to fight until the fact has not been achieved!
"Hey... Sir Gilniv, I don't think this will do you any good." Ainz Ooal Gown responded very calmly after listening to Gilniv's own opinions on the alliance.
This question is very reasonable, and it was expected that Gilniv would say this. After all, alliance with the Empire would not do them any good. The reason why Ainz Ooal Gown said this is actually a blatant irony.
It means forming an alliance with the empire, what benefits can they gain?
Before putting forward additional conditions that satisfy him... first find out what kind of benefits Ainz Ooal Gown wants to gain, Gilniv thought.
"For the sake of the future, I hope that the country you rule can form a friendly alliance with our empire." Okay! This leaves the right to speak to Ainz Ooal Gown, right! I understand what I mean. The empire has to pay
At what price can we have a future?
"I see, then I'm sorry to trouble you." Ainz Ooal Gown simply agreed.
What! Agree? Agree so easily? Why?! Gilniv became even more confused.
Why didn't you surrender yourself, let alone put forward various unequal additional conditions?
I didn't even mention paying tribute. Isn't it normal to make a request as an absolutely powerful person?
As the first party to propose an alliance, he was clearly on the side that wanted to suffer the consequences, but why did he accept the proposal so easily?
He had already thought of several excuses to deal with the possibility that he would make many unfavorable demands to the empire in response, but the Ainz Ooal Gown in front of him actually said such unexpected words.
He! What is Ainz Ooal Gown's purpose? He can't figure it out at all! Gilniv is greatly uneasy.
The diplomacy between a strong country and a weak country, the weak country's way is to use the strong country's arrogance and complacency to minimize its own losses when communicating with the strong country. However, the Ainz Ooal Gown in front of him is neither arrogant nor complacent, so... this
The method simply won’t work!
This is completely out of line with common sense...ah...that's not right! Could it be??
What if all of this, including the alliance... is under his control? Did Ainz Ooal Gown already know that he would make a request for an alliance? Ainz Ooal Gown's previous response was
Is it possible that he behaves calmly and calmly because of this?
This guy! So scary!
Must... must do something. The most urgent task now is to figure out what he wants the empire to do! Gilniv thought, and quickly brought it up.
"I haven't thought of it at the moment, but I hope that both parties can establish a method to contact you at any time. For example... arrange a place for my envoy." Ainz Ooal Gown still said with a look.
He said in a very calm tone.
No! If everything is under his control, it is impossible not to think of anything. Is it a coincidence? Or is he overthinking?
No! This may be just a smoke bomb he used to cover up his intentions because he was afraid that he would see through it! This monster is too smart!
No... Is it because he is a monster that he is so wise? So what should I do next? Compliment him first... Okay, let's see how he reacts to the flattering words.
"Yes, I was so stupid that I didn't think of this immediately. As expected of Your Excellency Gong." Gilniv said bravely. To be honest... he didn't know how to say any flattering words at all. This was already the limit.
"Oh..." Ainz Ooal Gown's reaction was still calm.
He is worthy of being a king... Such low-end flattery is still too childish for him. Isn't this situation already the best result for the empire?
Although it is very likely that all of this is under the control of Ainz Ooal Gown, judging from the current situation, the empire has not suffered any losses, so it is time to run away before he changes his mind! Gilni
Husband thinks so.
"Then, I will keep my secretary. Can you please negotiate with him on this issue? Ronye Vamilion!" Gilniv said. Although he felt sorry for his secretary, this was not the case.
A matter of method.
"Yes! I will devote myself to the empire!" Ronye behind him said firmly, although he did not see the expression of his secretary Ronye behind him.
But from his words, you can feel his determination to regard death as home. In fact... leaving him here to deal with the monster Ainz Ooal Gown will greatly affect the fate of the entire empire.
But in order for the empire to survive in the hands of Ainz Ooal Gown, no... or rather all of humanity to survive in his hands, he had to go back. Otherwise, he would have wished to stay.
"Then I will send..." Ainz Ooal Gown took action to see who he would send to his side to take charge of the empire's diplomatic affairs! Gilniv's heart was lifted.
"Father!" At this time, the wayward princess just interrupted without knowing the appropriateness, which surprised Gilniv. What are you trying to say?
"What's wrong? My daughter?" Ainz Ooal Gown also stopped the previous discussion because of his daughter's interruption, and asked his own daughter first. How much do you love your daughter?
No! Ainz Ooal Gown is so calm, so careless, so at ease... Doesn't it prove from the side that all of this is under his control! Bastard!
"Can I go?" The wayward princess made a request that made Gilniv's jaw drop.
"Hey...my daughter, do you want to go?" Ainz Ooal Gown looked at his wayward daughter with interest and asked. Seeing that Gilniff was completely confused, what was Ainz Ooal Gown thinking?
what!
"Yes, I want to go." The wayward princess expressed her attitude again.
Ainz Ooal Gown's next answer surprised Gilniff even more.
"Okay, then I will let my daughter Elizabeth Urgown be responsible for communicating with you!"
