Chapter 292 - 270 The Supreme Decree with Clear Public-Private Distinction
Politics is all about probing, and by the time of the last meeting, many things have already been agreed upon beforehand; formal negotiations often just require a signature or a final hammering out of details.
This arrangement has its merits, as it allows for amicable interactions on the surface and avoids public unpleasantness or face-off.
However, there’s a catch: it requires a certain level of consensus between the parties. If they are complete adversaries, early discussions might as well lead to an early fallout.
And that was precisely the situation now. Aldalian was originally helping Amberser to negotiate with James Watson.
But this young Elven King, bearing a grudge, very "accidentally" let slip the information that Amberser had come to Silvermoon Tribunal.
James Watson immediately declared that he would not deal with a Lich, advising Amberser to keep holding Arthur Laine’s Heroic Spirit and to wait for the Paladin to show up at his doorstep.
No matter how vast the desert, the Laine would search inch by inch until they found Amberser.
When Aldalian returned to convey the Supreme Decree’s intentions, Amberser stared at the young Elven King and asked, "Did you do this on purpose or was it an accident?"
"It was clearly an accident," Aldalian replied, smiling like an innocent child.
"Heh."
