Back at Donafela's place, she called the twins' group to tell them the decision of that meeting. Of course, they already knew it, although they had to pretend they didn't.
"So everyone preferred the neutral option, uh?" Roan said. "That's good. At least we don't need to run away from here."
Donafela looked at them. "That will not stop the countries from sending you more offers, you know?"
"It won't," Rean agreed with her. He knew Ximao also mentioned that in the meeting. "But such offers can't be made in the open, and we can simply ignore them. Even better, we can act as if we already accepted someone, even if we don't tell anyone about it in clear words."
"So be it." Donafela didn't want to get involved in this anymore. "I got you what you wanted, so, in th future, if we happen to need your help, I hope you won't forget our deal."
"We won't," Roan understood.
