Oran met several more small leaders in the morning.
They don't wear the same pants as the king, and from their mouths, they hear the need for trade and protection.
Some people even hinted that they wanted to seek refuge with Oran and consider him their master.
Some of these leaders are of the Unsa race, but they came to Garowe to take root due to years of war.
They do not regard the king as a superior lord who can leave at any time.
At noon, Oran discussed the alliance with the king and the leaders of the tribes in the country with a population of more than 500 people.
The leaders of Galloway filled three large tables, and there were only five people on Oran's side.
Yesterday was a friendly exchange, but today the atmosphere was a bit tense.
Olan specially called Reina to accompany him and give her a picture of him being obsessed with this woman.
If you want to negotiate successfully, you need to understand the other party's bottom line and needs, and not let the other party know what you want.
As one of the representatives, Ladd only complimented each other with the leader of the opposite party and did not mention the important points throughout the process.
After more than two hours of delay, although a trade treaty was negotiated, there was no mention of how to trade, which route to move across the border, and how to deal with the common enemies, the Vikings and the Scots.
After Oran left with Reina, he continued to have sex with her from noon to dusk.
He didn't let her go back until night to tell the king what she had overheard.
"Father, he said he would take me back and raise me. He also said that soon the Ansa princes would negotiate terms and fight against the Vikings regardless of north or south. He also said that his army has entered Scotland..."
King Nilfgaard listened to his daughter's report in his room.
He was worried about Oran's words.
I am also glad that my decision to trade this daughter was right.
Finally, she asked her daughter to go back and hint to Oran that she could take Reina away or negotiate more conditions, but the two of them had to meet in private and other leaders would not be allowed to attend the meeting.
This was the answer Oran wanted. When Reina returned to Oran again, she knelt in front of him.
"Your Excellency, you really have to take me away, otherwise one day I will become the wife or lover of other chiefs."
The woman's eyes were filled with tears. After Olan nodded, she circled Olan like a snake and said in her ear...
In the early hours of the morning, Olan changed into a servant's costume and entered the manor's food barn under the cover of servants.
The dark space was extremely hot and stuffy. When Ladd, who was following Oran, helped light the oil lamp, he saw a mouse running to his feet and escaping, which shocked him!
"Your Excellency, I hope we can come up with an answer that satisfies both of us this time."
Oran had already thought of his words early on. With a look from him, Ladd handed over a piece of parchment hidden on his body.
After opening it, it was covered with various seals.
"What's this?"
Nilfgaard asked the priest nearby to watch. The man's expression changed quickly and he came over to whisper. Only then did the king realize that it was a transfer document!
"You are either my enemy or my friend. Your Majesty, you are my friend, and I always treat my friends with sincerity.
Northumbria occupied your land thirty years ago. I have brought you all the 'claim documents' produced later. On behalf of King Ella, I renounce all 'strong and weak claims' and am willing to make a more friendly alliance with you. .
In the afternoon, there are too many nobles who can speak at the table in your country. How can the country become stable like this? I will help you reduce so many voices. "
This is Nilfgaard's heartache. Their tribe is not a prominent family among the Britons.
The family was lucky enough to rely on Northumbria to wipe out many tribes.
Later, Northumbria claimed that it had a claim to its own country. Even if it did not attack, it did not give the people in the Galloway region a good look.
Scotland also wanted Nilfgaard to consider it its suzerain state and cede the land west of Dumbarton as tribute on the grounds that it had helped the Britons.
Coupled with the Vikings' operations on the north coast, he now needs foreign help.
Otherwise, his wealth, which makes other leaders jealous, will be destroyed in an instant.
The trade activities discussed at noon are national interests, but he wants personal interests more.
Olan's words took advantage of both, and he was full of sincerity.
"Thank you for your kindness!"
A stone fell from the king's heart.
"I also want to get married."
After Oran finished speaking, Ladd felt hot in his heart. Could it be that your Excellency wants to reward that Reina to him?
"Rena?" asked the king.
"No, didn't you meet your eldest daughter at the banquet?"
The king had no idea that Oran wanted this daughter.
The eldest daughter was just an ordinary, slightly thin woman. She got married at the age of twelve. After her husband died at the age of fifteen, she married a leader. Four years later, her second husband died and she returned to the manor.
She has lost two husbands, has no appearance, and was kidnapped by the Scots.
He didn't understand what Oran meant, but Oran looked at Rad.
"Rad is a loyal knight who has been serving White Eagle as his master since my father. I trust him and give him the right to govern the people. He is the viscount of the kingdom and will become the county chief in the future. He marries your eldest daughter. This They are a perfect couple.”
Ladd remembered what Olan had said, and he had found noble ladies for several important ministers, including himself.
Taitan married Downey's daughter, Kunsang married Otto's sister, Nanding hadn't decided yet, and didn't expect that it would suddenly be her turn...
When choosing a woman to be your main wife, you first look at the family background, secondly you look at wealth, and thirdly you look at your character.
Ladd's head turned and he immediately realized that this business was a good deal.
In the future, the trade between the Kingdom and Galloway will be decided by you, right?
With this consideration in mind, the widow whose husband died twice became instantly beautiful.
"I will take good care of your daughter." Ladd, who is just a few years older than the king, assured her.
"What about Raina? I can make him the daughter of my legal wife." The king asked again.
"No need, I will take good care of her." Oran said.
Good-looking women are often not satisfied with their treatment. The title of illegitimate daughter will let her know that she is a lover and try to keep her duty.
In this meeting, even if the king doesn't send a girl to the door, Oran will still want Ladd to marry the king.
Among all lovers, there is no woman like Reina who was raised to please noble people and learn dancing and music from an early age.
Putting aside emotions, in terms of desire, Olan was quite satisfied, so he decided to take her away.
To talk about Reina again would be an extraneous matter.
"Then do we have to pay taxes?" asked the priest next to the king.
"We are equal allies. I will not participate in your struggle. I can still help. We share trade routes, but you have to help me provide information about Scotland and the landforms of the north coast.
Our soldiers can also exchange training,
You can even send people to my city to rule, and I will make them knights. "
Oran promised this, and the king readily agreed.
The two of them were on the table, using the paper brought by Olan, to write their credentials and stamp them separately.
The paper was really good. The priest touched it.
"Also, you want to suppress the sect."
"What sect?"
"The Ansa gods, the Viking gods, God, there can only be one god in Garroway, and my new religion will enter your land."
The king and the priests could not respond immediately to this proposal. After all, they always let everyone choose freely.
"Don't worry."
Oran took out a short version of the New Testament and showed it to the priest while explaining it.
"The articles written here are all articles that help the king rule and will enhance the king's authority. Over time, your people will know that the Southern God can protect wealth, and they will begin to believe in the Protestant Lord. Just take your time."
When the sun breaks, the two finally complete all the consensus.
The king's ambition was ignited and he didn't feel tired at all.
"This is an era full of opportunities, Your Majesty, the future is ours."
Oran strode out.
