It was undoubtedly unpleasant that the situation was twisted.

It was something I had been prepared for. From the time I came here, I knew that I would have to spend some time on this, but the work had become more complicated than I had initially thought.

In fact, hoping for results in less than a week after coming here was worse than a thief's mindset.

Looking at Pristina gently avoiding my suggestions or questions, I thought maybe this alliance proposal itself was problematic.

'Prematurely.'

Only a week had passed since then. As the other side was also aware of our intention, it was natural for it to be necessary to do prior work, rather than move openly.

Even Han Sora, who I had an expectation for, was working hard, and I also spent most of my time with the people of Laios, so it would be correct to think that I was laying the foundation for now.

'Republican bastards... so annoying...'

It was obvious as to why I had become so nervous about something I didn't have to be anxious about. The anxiety factor that everyone knew was none other than the existence of the Republic.

Three of the Eight State seats moved, and those who could be said to be important figures of the Republic also visited Laios. It would be fortunate if they simply came to enjoy tourism, but that was an impossible thing to hope for.

I had to think that they wanted something else, and that maybe, what they wanted wasn't much different from what we wanted.

'An alliance with Laios.'

In a way, I could say that it was a kind of work that would take place every year, but this time it felt like the scale had gotten much bigger.

As such, it was an indicator that the situation on the continent was unstable, so there was no need to explain the importance of this event.

If Laios and the Republic formed an alliance, it would be a big loss for the Empire. As the State had already achieved many results, it would be regrettable for us not to take any action now.

'Absolutely...'

I did not want to miss the benefits that I could reap from this place. It had already been decided that I was busy with all the important issues gathered. Thanks to that, each day had become very monotonous.

The day would begin by meeting Pristina and other people from the neutral country.

It was no big deal, but I had also met with foreigners living in Laios and talked about the supply of potions I made, all produced in the State.

While proposing a contract enough to satisfy them, I talked about the benefits we could share if Laios were to join the State. In a way, we would give them enough money that can be called a lobby, and of course, a contract with this good condition has not been yet implemented. Rather than me refusing, the neutral country didn't like these contracts, and they were aware that if there was something to receive, there should be something to give.

'Their vigilance is thick.'

They say they welcomed the guests, but the Republic and the State were indeed unwelcome guests for Laios. They hoped to maintain their position as a neutral country rather than the immediate gains, so in a way, it was like talking to a brick wall.

Nevertheless, since there was nothing that I could do other than trying continuously, it was best to lay as much ground as possible from the State's perspective.

The Republic might be in a similar situation. It was impossible to implement extreme diplomatic strategies as we knew that opposite camps were staying at Laios. Although we were in a position where we couldn't confirm what each force was proposing and how it was moving, we didn't have to see to know.
