Chapter 86: Directory Government - Kingdom of Alps
Finding the delegation alone insufficient, the Germania Empire requested that both the Kingdom of Francia and the Germania Empire bring their respective heirs to the throne to a meeting in the neutral Kingdom of Alps.
Although they yielded slightly, it was also true that they had deliberately stalled, so this time we had no justifiable reason to refuse.
Even if both sides knew this meeting was less of an actual negotiation and more of a preparation to declare war after reconfirming the impossibility of compromise.
Still, I thought we could buy about a year, but in reality, we managed to buy about half a year.
It's not just about buying time; the burden on the Empress will increase, and there will be quite a few lords who defect, so even this will be a great help...
Anyway, having left the capital, our delegation arrived in Franche-Comté, a region in eastern Francia, and visited an orphanage.
"Saint, Saint, oh. Should I call you Princess now?"
"You can call me whichever you're comfortable with, Pierre."
"Wow, the Saint remembers my name!"
