Chapter 989 - 507
French Emperor Louis XI said, "The Northern Undead Nations are enemies of all the nations in the Magic Black Forest. Since you led the undead into the forest, you should be responsible for this, Lord Ivita."
Louis XI said, "The undead are a bunch who can’t control themselves. Does Lord Ivita think that once they are in the Magic Black Forest, they will obediently leave, like the tides, to be summoned here and there at your bidding?"
Stuart III tried to ease the tension. "Regarding this, I believe Lord Ivita will take the initiative to resolve the situation. But should the war between our three nations be set aside now?"
"We should come together to face the onslaught of the heretics."
Ivan said, "It’s clear to everyone who started the war. Since certain individuals have instigated the war, then those individuals should be responsible for the war we are in. His Majesty Stuart is right; we should now unite to oppose the nations of the heretics instead of being fragmented and attacking each other. I suggest that certain individuals immediately withdraw their troops instead of making baseless and deceptive arguments here."
The judges and civil servants beside Louis XI all became angry, glaring at Ivita. In their eyes, Louis XI was sacrosanct, and it was rare for them to hear someone speak so rudely to their monarch.
But Ivita also bore the status of a monarch, and these Frankish people dared not dispute with a monarch, even one from an enemy nation; therefore, they could only glare at Ivita.
Frankish people have the highest degree of centralization among the nations present, which is why their people are all the more in awe of their monarch.
Suddenly, Louis XI spoke, "I’m not an idealist, nor am I a muscle-brained knight ruler, nor someone who would spend an extra penny for faith. My lords, don’t think of binding me with faith."
