Chapter 1273 Marriage Conditions
The next day, Pales came to Bell Mountain City and caused quite a stir, while on the other side, the second meeting between Kulizarid and the Seventeenth was going on at the same time.
Still in the highest-level meeting hall, the seventeenth generation was even more proud in his calmness: "I am requesting a meeting today. Is one night's consideration enough?"
Kuliza Reed said: "Since the Demon Moon has Now that I know what's happening in our country, why should I waste more time? Your Majesty also said that time is not my friend."
"You are a straightforward person. .”
"Yes, our country is caught in internal and external troubles, and all the cards we can play against the Demon Moon have been exhausted. In this case, I might as well lower my requirements and put forward new conditions."
"What conditions? "
Kulizarid said: "Completely return to yourself. I can promise to return all the occupied land to our own country. But in terms of money and materials, I hope to receive assistance. The domestic resources of Gripen are not rich, and we continue to fight against your country to plunder the resources we need. If your country can provide help to our country in this regard, I am willing to conclude a good relationship with your country and sign a non-aggression treaty."
"Mutual non-aggression?"
Kulizarid continued: "The combat effectiveness of our army. I believe that you, Your Majesty the Seventeenth Generation, also know that compared with the rich and vast Demon Moon, the relative I believe that your country is not interested in our poor land. You Demon Moon have always regarded us as barbarians, but we also have the right to survive and develop. What we ask for is not much. As long as your majesty agrees to provide assistance, I am even willing to cooperate with you. Your country has made a promise never to invade!”
"Oh!" Seventeenth Century lowered his eyes and lowered his head to meditate. This condition was indeed tempting. If they can prevent each other from invading each other, this will definitely be of great benefit to the Magic Moon, because there is really nothing worth claiming for the land of the Gripen Kingdom, but every year in order to deal with the invasion of the Gripen Army, the country has to invest A large amount of military spending and soldiers guarded the borders. Although words such as "never invade" are not worthy of belief, if the future troubles of the Holy Gripen Kingdom can be eliminated in the next few decades or more than ten years, it will be really beneficial to concentrate on dealing with Saint Bikoa.
From the second consideration, the Seventeenth Generation is already well aware of the so-called 'Creation Kingship' or the conspiracy of the Holy Gripen Empire, and it is a top priority to use the plan to solve the current two war crises in Demon Moon, so The Seventeenth Emperor had already made up his mind on the truce, and now it was just a posturing.
After thinking for a moment, Seventeenth Century opened his eyes: "The conditions you proposed are indeed worthy of Mo Yue's consideration. I can consider providing you with an interest-free loan of 400 million gold coins per year for ten years through the World Bank. In addition, we can also provide certain assistance in terms of food and resource needs. If this is your condition."
"Interest-free loan. The Moyue government is not as generous as I imagined. We must take more than this amount from your country every time."
The Seventeenth Generation said coldly. : "You'd better take back what you said next. The help I can give now is very generous to countries that were still hostile before."
"Okay, I made a mistake. But I have other conditions." Kulizarid lowered his head for a moment, with an imperceptible smile on his lips, and then said: "I hope to marry your country, and your country The assistance to our country needs to be increased."
"Marriage!"
Kulizarid stood up and said: "I know, Your Majesty, regarding the promise of 'never invade'. You won’t believe it, but I’ll do it myself. Coming to your country to talk about this matter has shown my utmost sincerity. Therefore, if we can get married, I think your Majesty will have more trust in me."
The Seventeenth World said: "Then. Tell me about the marriage. Is there a suitable princess from that country to marry to the Demon Moon?”
Kulizarid shook his head: “It’s not that our country wants to marry someone to your country, but it’s that we hope that your country will marry someone.” The princess can marry into our country.”
The seventeenth generation frowned. Among the children of the royal family, Alice was the only one who had not yet married a princess. And Alice has always been his favorite daughter.
At this time, Modozweisel next to him spoke: "King Gripen, according to what I said, most of your children are still very young, and your only adult son also married a wife the year before last."
Kulizarid looked at Modozweiser with a smile: "Your country really knows our country very well. But the one who wants to marry your country's princess is not my son, but... me!"
< br>"What!?" The seventeenth generation was shocked.
Kulizarid added: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Moreover, the daughter I want to marry cannot be the daughter of your majesty and your... favorite concubine, nor can it be the daughter of another member of the royal family. Daughter. This princess must be the biological daughter of Your Majesty and the Queen of your country." The Seventeenth slammed the table and said angrily, "My only legitimate princess is Alice. There is no way I can marry her to you. It's impossible. ! ”
Kulizarid smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Seventeenth Emperor, don't refuse so early. I believe you also know that marriage is good for the peace of our two countries. Yes, the person I want to marry is your noble Princess Alice of China, although I only met her We met twice, but my heart has been captured by him."
Seventeenth said in a cold voice: "Hmph, stop saying these words, my daughter is only fifteen years old, how can she take her. Marry you.”
Kulizarid. Said: "Is it impossible? Among nobles, isn't it normal for girls at the age of fifteen to marry?"
The Seventeenth said: "You are more than twice as old as my daughter. Why should I marry my daughter to you? And you should have many women around you, which makes it even more impossible for me to marry my daughter to you. Besides, although the truce is important to Moyue, it is not important to you, the Griffith Kingdom. More importantly, you have no room to negotiate terms with me.”
Kulizarid smiled again: "Is there any room for it? Your Majesty might as well listen to my words before making a judgment. First of all, is age an issue for this kind of political marriage? I remember that in the history of your country , there are cases of marrying young princesses to older foreign kings, although I don’t remember that. Who is this princess? Please forgive me for not being very familiar with your country’s history.” I will marry my daughter to you.”
“Slowly, that’s what’s next. The point. "Kulizarid said: "I said before that I want our country and your country to never invade, but your country doesn't believe it, so I made this request. Yes, it is true around me. Many women, but I have yet to make a queen. If Princess Alice could marry me, she would be it. As the queen of the Gripen Kingdom, her children and I will be the first legal heirs of the Holy Gripen Empire in the future. When your grandson becomes the king of the Gripen Kingdom, the words "never invade" will be more than empty talk. ."
"This..." The Seventeenth Generation was stunned, not expecting him to say that.
Kulizarid said: "Your Majesty, your hesitation shows that you are already moved. What? This kind of marriage is definitely a good thing for both your country and both countries."
The seventeenth generation was indeed moved by this condition. Although he cared about his daughter, he was more concerned about the interests of his country. If Alice can become the Queen of the Gripen Kingdom, it will be of great benefit to both parties. The Seventeenth Emperor looked at Kulizarid and asked: "Why should I believe these words of yours?"
Kulizarid said: "It is the best for me to stand here personally and propose a marriage. The promise. This matter also has a lot of benefits for our country. And from the perspective of status, the princess of Moyue is the most suitable candidate for the queen of the Eagle Lion Kingdom, isn't it?"
He said: "Let's not talk about this condition for now. Please tell me, what other conditions are there?"
"No more." Kulizarid said: "These are the only two requirements I have. This is the greatest sincerity I have shown to Mo Yue."
The Seventeenth World turned around and said, "Then you can leave. I need to discuss the peace talks with my ministers again."
After Kulizarid left with his people, he met with the officials of Demon Moon in the hall and had an argument. It is not necessary for most officials to just marry Princess Alice to the prince of the Gripen Kingdom, but marrying the King of the Gripen Kingdom to become the queen is definitely very beneficial to Mo Yue. Because even if Kulizarid goes back on his word, he will only lose a princess, but the benefits that can be gained are very large. If Kulizarid really regrets it, bringing Princess Alice back to the country will cause almost no harm to Mo Yue and is a hugely profitable choice.
The opponent is an official who understands the inner admiration of this. This person is Modozweisel. It's just that the reason is still confidential, and he can't refute it, so he has to reserve his opinion. However, his opposition is not very firm, and there are indeed reasons worth trying.
Not only Modozziweiser, but also the seventeenth generation. The condition offered by Kulizarid was so tempting to him. Even if he knew that there was some conspiracy involved, it was still worth a try. This is like you don't need any capital to participate in a lottery draw of 10 million gold coins, and the probability of winning is much higher than that of a lottery draw. Even if you don't win, you won't lose anything, but if you win, you will gain more with one stone, and it will be a big win.
But when he thought of Alice, the seventeenth generation's heart became complicated again. Although he repeatedly 'abandoned' Alice when she was 'kidnapped', that was only based on national interests. Don't want to be threatened. In his heart, he was extremely reluctant to part with his daughter and worried endlessly. Even after Alice came back, she loved her beyond measure. However, Alice became more sensible and no longer as willful as before.
Thinking of this, the Seventeenth hesitated, looked at the arguing officials, and left the meeting hall alone.
