Xi, who had returned, accidentally met Yumiko at that time. Out of curiosity, Yumiko asked where Xi was out of nowhere. However, after he heard Xi's reply, he was surprised that the person Xi met was someone who had power on par with Xi's.
" Are you okay? " Tanya Yumiko worriedly while holding Xi's hand.
Xi calmly answered. " Yes, I'm fine, yeah rather than that... How outcome? " Task Xi to Yumiko about the alliance agreement proposed from the Hansganm kingdom.
Hearing the question, Yumiko answered and explained what happened during the discussion. At that time, he told me everything that happened, about the documents that contained to utilize the power of the Asgar state, the arrival of Mizuki that made everyone surprised, which made everyone surprised, as well as the disrespectful actions taken by Queen Jessi during their discussion.
After hearing all that, Xi nodded in understanding while holding his chin.
" Oh yeah, I also asked them for 20,000 platinum coins as compensation for daring to take advantage of our country, and I gave them five days to give it. " Continue Yumiko smiling and embracing Xi's hand.
Hearing that, Xi was surprised. In his heart, he asked. How do they get 20,000 platinum coins? While, in every kingdom alone, it did not necessarily have 2,000 Platinum Coins. He sweated when he thought about it, because he had never been faced with such financial problems.
" From what you've explained, give us 20,000 gold coins, or declare war on our country. I think a lot of them would choose to declare war rather than pay for compensation. " Said Xi. He argued that what happened at that time, would make Hansganm country a civil war, between the royal family and the noble family.
The royal family has seen how dangerous the country of Asgar is. And what if at war with the country of Asgar, not only will they lose, but they will all disappear without rest. So the royal price would prefer a safe path, that is, pay the compensation offered. Or in the worst case, they will flee their country to save themselves.
As for the noble families, they must be very reluctant to pay the compensation that the amount alone is very impossible. Rather than pay compensation and become a vassal state of the Asgar state of unclear origin, they preferred to oppose the decision of their leader, and preferred to fight with the Asgar state.
In their minds, they must have been very confident of winning against the Asgar state. Logically, where perhaps a newly established country has great combat power, what else their number must be very few from their country that has stood for very long, and have a large army.
" I think it's true... The nobles in the country must think that a new country like ours is just bluffing about 20,000 platinum coins. " Say Yumiko agreed with Xi's thinking. Because paying a compensation of 20,000 platinum coins is very impossible. Even if it was a large and super country like the empire, they would not be willing to pay that much.
Xi touched Yumiko's head gently. At the same time, Yumiko saw Xi's face.
" No need to think, if they want war, we just flatten it to its roots. " Say Xi casually while gently stroking Yumiko's head. Saying that the country's war is not something that matters to him.
" Em okay. " Say Yumiko softly and a happy smile on her face. At the same time, someone came and arrived - suddenly he immediately hugged Xi, and embraced his hand.
" Yes, as you can see... I am still lucky to be back in one piece. " Say Xi joking. " And then, what about you? " Task Xi about the people who came to ask for trade secrets and cooperate with the Asgar state.
" There are a lot of people who want to apply for a contract with us. However, many of them were just fraudsters, so I turned them down a lot. And only received a few that I think can be trusted with all the data and information I can get. " She said happily while explaining everything that happened as she discussed with people who wanted to trade in the country. " However, some of the merchants I received were traders of vegetables, meat, and spices. I don't think it's too good. " So continue while looking at Xi.
" It doesn't matter, everything will develop on its own. Oh yes, there are still some unfinished places, especially the tourist park. " Say Xi casually.
" The zoo park ? " Tanya Yumiko and Asako were confused.
" At first I just wanted to build a zoo. However, because there are many monsters in this world, I thought to make a tourist park that will be open to the public, so they can see the beauty of the monsters that are there, as well as adding their knowledge of dangerous monsters, and harmless ones. " Answer Xi while explaining his purpose. Closing his eyes, he thought. " Even the park isn't half finished yet, so I guess I'll add a lot of workers to it to help other workers." He decided to add workers to build a zoo park to make it faster to finish.
" But before that, let's get everyone together first. " Said Xi. He asked the servant to gather everyone in the town square. Because, Xi would go there to convey something to all of them.
Several hours passed as Xi asked all Asgar residents to gather in the town square. There are so many people who have gathered, to compact the place, not only filled the town squares, but also the streets around the town squares.
Seen there, there were many different races that had gathered. Beastmen, Elves, Dwarves, Dryads, and also the others. Seemed their excited and happy faces while waiting for the arrival of their king back then.
In that crowd, a loud and resolute voice was heard by a person. Until everyone turned their eyes towards the source of the voice with a curious look.
" His Majesty Xi Has Arrived! " Said a Soldier with full armor loudly announcing the arrival of Xi.
Hearing that, everyone was shocked. As close as they kneeled and gave their respect to Xi who was there. Unlike the king in general, who came in a luxurious horse carriage, the carriage was pulled with a gallant beast, however, it was, Xi came on foot to accompany the many Knights as well as the servants behind him.
As bright as he came, he walked with a tanang showing his authority. Walk towards the stage that looks luxurious, which has been prepared. As he had reached the stage, he saw all his citizens still kneeling down and paying their respects to him.
Xi raised his hand lightly, after seeing that, they all stood up because Xi had given his orders. " I know, everyone must be wondering why today we are gathered in this place! " Say Xi by showing her composure back then. Not a single person spoke nor whispered while Xi was talking.
