Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Ce smiled upon seeing this.

"Don't say that. If I were really smart, I wouldn't have let you go in the first place!"

Nikolayevich Eva raised an eyebrow at this: "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Ce smiled without saying a word: "You'll figure it out yourself."

They were at the city gate, where the people at the city gate were supposed to conduct an inspection.

But Nikolayev Eva stopped her.

After all, they must have been carrying some weapons.

She was a smart woman; she knew very well that if she looted all their weapons...

Xiao Ce would definitely turn around and leave immediately.

She was well aware that since Xiao Ce had come, he was here to have a serious talk.

After entering the city, Eva also settled him in.

At this residence, White Lion and his group of Heavenly Battalion soldiers immediately began to inspect the area inside and out, and then set up defenses.

It must be said that they are very professional.

Xiao Ce lay down on a tiger-skin recliner: "Gulimiza, what are your impressions of this Slavic country compared to India?"

Gulimiza smiled and said, "Of course this side is better! The two are incomparable! This border town is already quite good, so you can imagine that the Slavic Empire is very powerful."

"Moreover, we see that their soldiers are all very tall and in excellent spirits... These people are clearly not easy to deal with."

Gulimiza gave a brief analysis and then showed a worried expression.

"Your Highness, you should be prepared. These people aren't easy to deal with. This negotiation is definitely not going to be easy..."

Xiao Ce pursed his lips and shrugged: "I don't think so!"

Gulimiza asked疑惑地问道：“Why? They have overwhelming military power to crush us... So, during peace talks, they'll definitely make many unreasonable demands..."

Xiao Ce said, "Haven't you heard? Their sea route is blocked right now. The only way they can get there is through us! His eldest prince, Rhys, is over there. If this drags on for another six months, his son will be captured alive."

"Both of those countries have turned our Xiao Kingdom into a war of national founding. The tiny Fusang Kingdom has always wanted to use our territory to directly occupy our country, so as to fulfill their ambition of becoming a great power."

"The Slavic nation is clearly most wary of the Fusang nation, which has undergone a complete transformation. If they were to take over the Xiao nation, it would be a metamorphosis! At that time, two tigers cannot share one mountain... They would definitely face endless war."

"Therefore, none of them want to lose here..."

Seeing this, Gulimiza nodded: "Your Highness, you already know... then I don't need to worry."

...

After returning home, Nikolayevich Eva went to see Shahar.

Shahar was equally surprised by Eva's return: "Eva, how did you manage to come back so quietly?"

As he spoke, Shahar said with a hint of nervousness, "Is it because the King of the Northern Desert didn't come?"

Eva smiled and said to Shahar, "Father, if I take action, he will definitely come. And he has already arrived!"

Shahar gave Eva a thumbs up: "Eva, you did a good job. But why didn't you tell me beforehand? We needed to set up a simple welcoming ceremony. Isn't it a bit disrespectful to come in so quietly?"

Eva said, "That's what the King of the Northern Desert instructed. He said he didn't know what our people's attitude was, and even if you agreed, he was afraid of assassination... Moreover, he also said that he didn't care about these trivial matters."

Shahar nodded: "That works! I'll make the arrangements now. Let's discuss the peace talks. Did you get any information about the peace talks from him?"

Eva shook her head and said, "Before I left, you weren't sure either, were you? I wouldn't dare to speak rashly before I was sure. I also have a selfish motive, which is to know what conditions we can offer in the negotiations. You've already discussed it, haven't you?"

Shahar said, "That's right, we've indeed reached a rough agreement! It's not complicated. We'll get them to open the border, and then allow our troops free movement in and out. We can guarantee we won't disturb them. It'll be just like transporting goods with a caravan..."

Seeing that Shahar had reached this point, Eva looked at him curiously, wanting him to continue.

However, Shahar did not do that. It came to an abrupt end.

"That's it? Is that all?" Eva asked.

Shahar said, "That's it! We won't attack them, let's sign a peace treaty."

Eva said awkwardly, "What benefits will they get?"

Shahar said, "Even if we don't attack them, they can still live a comfortable life... What, isn't that enough?"

Eva said to Shahar, "Father, I thought you would be a reasonable person... Do you agree with this statement?"

Shahar nodded: "Of course, it's actually beneficial for them. After all, our people will need to eat, drink, and use the facilities, which will bring them consumption. And once we can go there, we can also bring their merchants over... Of course, we'll collect high taxes from them, but even so, they can still make money..."

Seeing this, Eva knew that her father had always been aloof and superior.

In his eyes, this was already an immense blessing.

Although Saleh's forces had suffered a crushing defeat previously, his father did not believe that their army would face such a defeat.

It's mainly arrogance.

"Father, do you know what I promised him in order to invite him over?" Eva knew that although her father doted on her, he would not back down on important matters.

If they were to make too many concessions to Xiao Ce, it would be a disgrace to them, just like the reason why this peace talk was held here.

Shahar shook his head: "What did you promise him?"

Eva looked embarrassed and, like reciting a menu, listed all the weapons Xiao Ce wanted, until she heard about the last fifty long-range cannons.

Shahar's expression changed slightly, but he quickly said, "Although it's a bit excessive, we can give him the weapons he wants... specifically, the last fifty long-range artillery pieces. Do you think that's possible?"

Eva said, "Isn't this about thinking of a solution for Father?"

Shahar smiled and said, "If these are all the conditions he wants, I will find a way to meet them! But there is nothing else besides that."

Eva's face darkened: "Father, he made these demands when he came here. If we want to continue the talks, he will definitely have more demands."

Eva thought Shahar would be angry, but she never expected it.

Shahar burst out laughing; he was so angry he laughed...

"This is unbelievable! Didn't you say he was a smart man? How could he have such thoughts... This is utterly foolish..."

As he spoke, Shahar's expression gradually darkened.

"He can make demands, let him make all the demands he wants! If it's within the scope of negotiation, we'll talk to them properly! Of course, if he wants to take advantage of us, I'll make sure he rests in peace here!"

As Eva listened to Shahar's words, she immediately realized that her father's tone had changed.

Initially, Shahar supported peace talks and was willing to concede some of his interests.

However, his father, Shah, had completely changed his tune.

They even became much tougher!

Seeing that Eva was about to speak, Shahar said, "Eva, you need to know that you are a citizen of our Slavic nation. You need to think from our Slavic perspective... We have already lost many warriors here, and we are not pursuing the matter; this is already a great blessing for them! If they are still ungrateful and demanding, then let them rest here forever."

"Didn't you say this person is their brain? Killing him is equivalent to gaining a decisive advantage! It's a permanent solution..."

Seeing this, Eva tentatively asked, "Father, has something happened?"
