The final result of the negotiation: the Divine Luo Empire did not cede the Schleswig Duchy, but instead opened the northern border territory for the Norman people who wished to move south.
At first glance, the Divine Luo Empire suffered a slight loss, and the Helensing Empire gained a small benefit. However, the population of Frank in the Schleswig border territory is sparse, and introducing Normans can promote economic development and tax revenue in the short term, making it acceptable for the frontier earl.
Nonetheless, in the long run, the introduction of Normans will inevitably intensify internal division tendencies. Medea can easily conduct intelligence probes, economic control, or exert political influence on the border territory through these Norman residents.
With this achievement, it's equivalent to opening a small crack in the southward door of the Empire... although it's just a tiny crevice, it's enough to shut the mouths of the Norman Nobles domestically.
