THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 161: COOPERATION
Albert, who had stood up from his chair, said doubtfully, "Baron Myro, you don't seem to understand anything here. We Orcs have very different physiques than you humans, therefore even the most beautiful Orcs may not be suitable for humans. Even you humans will regard the most beautiful Orcs as scary-".
Before Albert could finish his words, Myro immediately spoke "Then why? If my sister and your daughter aren't interested in each other, is there a problem there? As long as the marriage is successful, our Orc-Goblin Royal Family and Aras Family will be partners. I can stop the Azeroth Kingdom's attack on you on the grounds of my sister's marriage, other than that feelings can form over time. I have also heard of some instances where Orcs had children with humans, even though it was a case several decades ago".
"King Albert, do you doubt this idea? Without marriage, there is no way we can trust each other. But here I give my most precious and talented sister while you give your best daughter the most beautiful in the entire Orc-Goblin Kingdom, their bond will strengthen our cooperation. Anyway, I used my most talented sister so you wouldn't doubt I'd betray you".
"Not only that, my sister and your daughter can continue to remain in the territory of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom so that you don't worry about my sister escaping. However I have other requirements, my sister must be the prince of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom".
The surprised Albert sat back down, what Myro said was true, only by starting a marriage between the best son of the Aras Family and the best daughter of the Orc-Goblin Royal Family could they trust each other.
He didn't mind the idea, so Albert said "I get it, you're right! Feelings can grow over time, after all, feelings are not just looking at a person's physique are they? But their nature is no less important! I agree, I can give Luca Aras the princely title after he marries my daughter".
Myro stood up from his chair before extending his hand "Then everything has been decided, from today on we will become a family, the future father-in-law of Luca".
Albert came to his feet and grabbed Myro's hand to shake his hand as well "Yes, we can work together without any problems now, my daughter-in-law's future sister-in-law. In the future, if you need the help of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, you can tell me! Whether it's troops or money, I'm definitely trying to help you because we're going to be a family".
"Of course I don't mind helping you either, from today on the Orc-Goblin Kingdom there is no need to worry anymore about the lack of food" Myro smiled.
2 The men looked at each other and laughed as if they were close friends.
The main problem was over and the cooperation between Myro and Albert was formed, but no one knew what the original thoughts of Myro or Albert were now.
They may seem to be working together now, but actually these 2 people have the same mind that is stalling.
Albert's interest was that the Kingdom of Azeroth not attack them, if the Kingdom of Azeroth did not attack for 5 years, then he could re-establish the Orc-Goblin Kingdom army and then seize the territories that were already in Myro's hands.
As for marriage, who cares? He was able to persuade Luca to surrender, instead he could appoint Luca as mayor. However Luca would stay in the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, it was easy to persuade him to betray Myro. If Luca refuses and tries to fight him, he just has to kill Luca and find a new husband for his son.
On the other hand, Myro also takes time. He had to wait for King Azeroth V to cease to exist, perhaps for about 2 to 5 years. Everyone in the Kingdom of Azeroth already knew that King Azeroth V was too old and already had many diseases, therefore the princes, nobles, nobles, and the king of Azeroth V were too old, military and political officials began to move in support of their respective princes.
Without King Azeroth V, the Kingdom of Azeroth would have been so divided that they would not care about Myro seizing the Orc-Goblin Kingdom.
As for Luca's matter, Myro didn't really care.
If Luca had not betrayed Myro in the middle of the road, Myro would have let Luca return to the House of Aras and even given him several posts to help Myro manage his territory.
But if Luca betrays him, then don't blame Myro for defeating him.
the 2 people sat down and went back to talking about some things, they looked like close friends. But as long as one could read the minds of Myro and Albert, they would definitely know the plans of each of these 2 people were very different from what they were talking about.
"King Albert, I forgot to tell you an important matter. There seems to be a very talented young captain on your side, helping General Guliger withdraw from the Northern Province even though Guliger still managed to capture me. Even so, he is indeed very strong and intelligent, are you interested in freeing him as well? You only need to pay 1000 gold coins, I can return the young captain to you" Myro said smiling considering the young captain Herfu had captured.
"Young captain for 1000 gold coins? I'm not interested, with 1000 gold coins, I can recruit thousands of other talented warriors. In my eyes, the young captain you mentioned is completely worthless, you can continue to restrain or kill him" King Albert said unconcernedly, he had indeed heard of the young captain from Guliger's fleeing army. But compared to 1000 gold, King Albert considered the young captain no more valuable.
"Then we should continue to hold him back" Myro said nodding "I suddenly recall, there was also a soldier who was a small captain in the army who was with the crown prince. He always shouted that his father was the minister of war of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, are you interested in releasing him? If interested, you will have to pay 10,000 gold coins. Wait a minute, I don't think you'll be interested! After all, releasing a talented young captain for 1000 gold coins already made you disagree, not to mention 10,000 gold coins just for an Orc who has no talent whatsoever except the son of the war minister!".
"I'll take it!", said Albert firmly "Baro Myro, you don't understand at all! The young captain is only talented, with 1000 gold coins then I can find thousands of other talented Orcs. But the son of the minister of war is different, if I release him, the war minister's loyalty to me must have increased which is more valuable than even 10,000 gold coins. I'll pay for the release of the minister's son".
Albert had indeed heard about the son of the minister of war who was arrested, but he had forgotten about it when he came here.
Fortunately Myro reminded him of this problem, when Myro did not remind him, he must have forgotten.
A strange smile appeared on Myro's face, he said "Well, when the prisoner exchange and the city later, you should also send the money".
"Again!", said Albert not rejecting Myro's idea.
