The last meeting is getting visited by several new faces. One of them is Rose, who currently stood up behind Duke Fluenti, beside his usual aid. Other than her, I noticed several people who stood up silently on the several spots of the room.
"Today, I will elaborate more about the deal," Darren started.
"No need to do that, just tell us what have you changed," Rose interrupts before Darren can continue. Darren looks a little surprised when Rose talked in our language. No one seems surprised with Rose's use of language nor her interruption. In fact, I can see that all the council members agree with her.
"I've talked to my kingdom and we agree to take down our demand to be your exclusive distributor partner," Darren started. "Other than that, we will also decide to share our military training methods and conduct some joint training," he continued. I know that another country would beg to be able to gain experience in our military training. Our country is famous to have excellent soldiers so having joined training is a precious opportunity.
"Can you give us details on what research would we collaborate?" Rose asked. Oza immediately translate her words to Darren.
I start to question her standing in this country. How can she easily join an official meeting and asked questions on her own? To add it up, the other doesn't look bothered by her presence.
"We have not decided the details, but we assure you that we will only collaborate with research that is safe to be mass-produced to the public," Darren said. His answer is still ambiguous, but I think his message is conveyed. We won't touch Dorsenburg's confidential research. Rose still looks unsure, trying to determine whether accepting the deals or not.
"I have a request," Rose started, "we will accept your deal with one condition. He, Caden, your butler, must be one of the researchers who'll collaborate with us." What? Is she really..? I didn't hide my shocked face upon hearing her request, like most people. They didn't understand Rose's random request. Only a few look like they already expecting this.
"Princess Rose, would you tell us why," asked one of the noble. "Yesterday, our lab had an accident. If it's not because of Caden, we would have already lost several lives," Rose explained. "Tell me, what did you do?" Prime Minister Louis asked, directly to me. I was unsure to answer. I took a glance towards Rose who gave me a small nod. "I recognized the substance that poisoned several people yesterday and help giving the right treatment accordingly," I explain briefly. They looked surprised. I don't know if it was because of my answer, or the fact that I just answered in their language. "Is that one of your modern science research, Rose?" asked King Alexis to his daughter. "Yes, Father and I know he has far more knowledge in that field than I am," Rose replied.
"Well, it looks like we have some conclusions"
