The trade proposal put forth by Romero made the Lady quite tempted. She was now almost ready to replace the Figrola Family as the new master of the Western Territory.
She had the people's support, was impeccable in reputation, and also had incredibly glorious battle achievements. The only minor flaw, if any, was the legal justification.
And this was the very thing most people on this continent valued the most.
If Claudio was willing to endorse her on behalf of the Vespasian Family, then this last blemish would be gone.
This made the Lady's heart beat faster, while Romero seized the opportunity to continue speaking.
"As long as you are willing to spare Ilkand and his five thousand warriors, they are willing to relinquish all currently occupied lands and wealth and leave the Western Territory overnight. You can also minimize casualties.
"In the past two years, the Western Territory has shed too much blood. On my way here, I passed many villages, half of their people were gone."
