Volume 31: The Hand That Covers the Sky, Chapter 2: Those Who Plot Against Others Are Bound to Be Plotted Against

"What does Grand Duke Antonescu hope for me to do?" Komer asked directly after a brief contemplation.

Military support seemed a bit premature at the moment, and Komer also believed that the Northern Alliance would not dare to intervene with martial power in a country like Basarabia, which was not weak, and such actions could easily push Basarabia to his side. They were more likely to exert pressure on Basarabia to submit through political and diplomatic means, especially while his control over Nicosia was still unstable. They believed this approach would be more effective.

So what was he now supposed to do?

"Lord Komer, I think if we could represent our close relationship in some enriching ways, it would surely help to relieve some of the pressure Grand Duke Antonescu is currently facing," Mechetilev relaxed a bit as Komer nodded in approval of his suggestion.

"For instance, an alliance through marriage with Lady Princess Furina?" Komer asked with a half-smile.
