The Minister stood up abruptly, hands bracing on the table, his expression furious.
The Second Prince was representative of their side's leader.
Sending the leader over, what difference was there from a defeat?
Facing the Minister's fury, Hartel's side remained calm, speaking softly, "Does the Second Prince plan to use us to constrain the Crown Prince, then when both of us are weakened, you will continue to strike?"
After speaking, the people from Lundham City all looked over in unison, anger in their eyes.
Neither side could defeat the other, yet still playing such tricks.
The Minister immediately explained, "We truly don't have such thoughts, and we sincerely want to restore peace between us."
"Verbal peace has no persuasive power at all." Hartel pushed up his glasses, "This war between us was not instigated by Lundham City."
The other side fell silent again.
