Xiao Ran stared blankly at Shanamia, who was sitting farthest across from him, with a red face and a weak look but firm eyes. He did not expect that the other party could say such a thing.
Friendship...Marriage Alliance? Marriage Alliance! He understood the meaning of these two words very well, which was to establish a cooperative relationship through in-law relationships, and he also understood the meaning of the Marriage Alliance. In the current situation, it was to promote the integration and unity of the Earth and Free, to set an example for people all over the Earth, and to support Free to join this big family on behalf of the Earth.
Okay, but Xiao Ran doesn't understand why Shanamia chose to use Marriage Alliance to ensure Free's future. Is there no other way to use it? Although Xiao Ran also admits that maybe this is the best way, it will be beneficial to both parties and Xiao Ran. It is basically equivalent to picking up a wife for nothing and gaining an extra power.
The marriage between Xiao Ran and Shanamia, and looking at Shanamia's attitude, it seems that the marriage is inevitable, otherwise the earth can get what it wants from Free, and it can be exchanged for things.
What Shanamia wants is a guarantee, and Xiao Ran is this guarantee. As long as Xiao Ran and Shanamia Marriage Alliance, she will believe that Free can truly exist on the earth, and that Free, who has disbanded the army, will be truly protected instead of being targeted and weakened. In short, as long as Marriage Alliance, everyone's problems can be solved.
After reacting, Xiao Ran coughed twice and rubbed his stiff face with his hands. After looking at Shanamia, he felt a little embarrassed. He saw everyone in the conference room staring at him with shining eyes, and felt heartbroken. Zhongya felt very unnatural, but when he took a look at Princess Shanamia's beautiful face, he felt secretly happy for some reason, and there was actually a princess from a country eagerly approaching to ask for the Marriage Alliance. Thinking about it, he felt a little excited.
The rest of the people, especially those representing the Earth side, were also very excited after hearing what Shanamia said. A Marriage Alliance would allow Free to contribute his technology and ensure that Free could integrate into the local environment. After the ball, the obedient person will not become a threat, but will become the staunchest supporter of the earth. The key is not to marry someone from his own side, but to marry the princess from the opposite side. How much face is this, and it also shows that Earth Sphere is still very powerful.
Although Shanamia is not marrying any of them, but marrying Xiao Ran, who really controls the direction of the earth, there are also many benefits for them, not from the perspective of personal interests but from the perspective of the earth as a whole.
However, although these people thought that Marriage Alliance's opinions put forward by Princess Shanamia were very, very good, Xiao Ran did not open his mouth to give an accurate answer. These people did not dare to speak easily, and just looked at eagerly. Xiao Ran hopes that he will agree, otherwise, but from the items that Free took out, we can know that the price the earth has to pay to take advantage of Free is too high. Although it can't move the bones, it will hurt the body. Don't really think about Free's unique technology, unless they want to go to war with Free.
But although the person involved, Xiao Ran, can understand this, it does not mean that he can accept it. In this situation, Xiao Ran seems to have no possibility of rejection. Could it be that his personal rejection caused problems in Free's integration into the earth? Or will Free finally refuse to join Earth? Or is it personal refusal that leads to war between the two sides? Or is Free now agreeing to various conditions to join the Earth, but will he seize an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and eventually cause problems with the mission?
These problems are all real problems in front of us. Once Xiao Ran refuses, it will definitely leave the impression that Earth Sphere and even Free have no regard for the overall situation. No one will want to solve it with force if it can be solved peacefully. This may be a good thing in the eyes of others, but it is indeed a bit embarrassing for Xiao Ran.
It's not just a problem with the three women around him, Mwu will understand, Saki Maski will only get sulky, and it can be settled with some coaxing, but Sheryl's little temper is really troublesome, and more importantly, he is a The participants will leave this world sooner or later, and will take the entire legion with them. If Faction Territory cannot be guaranteed, then Shanamia and him Marriage Alliance will really harm each other, but these are things that cannot be said.
In this situation, which is not suitable for being silent for too long and thinking too much, Xiao Ran couldn't even show any expression of reluctance. He sighed slightly in his heart and said, "Princess Shanamia, Marriage Alliance is indeed a win-win situation for both of us. At least it can bring important benefits to both of us. It is a foundation of trust, and it is of great benefit to me personally. I seem to have no reason to refuse, but even if Marriage Alliance is not carried out, I can guarantee that Free will be treated fairly once he is integrated into the earth, and he will also be regarded as a true member of the earth. In fact, Her Highness the Princess does not need to do this."
Shanamia shook his head firmly. "No, what Free is lacking now is such a guarantee. Otherwise, just because of your words, I would not dare to use Free's citizens to make such a gamble."
Perhaps it is for the sake of the people, or perhaps it is to give Free a better environment to develop. Shanamia is very firm in her attitude towards this matter. She also knows the difference between sincerity and falsehood. If she can be like Xiao Ran Marriage Alliance, it can also bring huge benefits to Free. For this reason, she, the Princess princess, has already had this awareness.
"Uh..." Xiao Ran's eyebrows twitched. Whether it was pure interest negotiation, cooperation negotiation between the two parties, or coercion and inducement, Xiao Ran was quite familiar with these aspects, but now Shanamia did not follow the routine and brought up Marriage Alliance, something that related to himself, especially his own feelings. Xiao Ran suddenly didn't know how to resist, especially since the other party's attitude was so firm.
Of course, Xiao Ran doesn't think that Free will not be able to integrate into the Earth if he doesn't agree to be with the Marriage Alliance. This meeting was originally based on Free joining the Earth, but precisely because of this, he has no reason to refuse, or he doesn't know whether to agree or refuse.
And he finally understood why Cruze and the others all ran to him in unison. The incomprehension at the time all turned into regret and understanding at this time, and he cursed those bastards in his heart. Since he had known that something like this would happen, why didn't he warn him in advance, so that he could be prepared, or simply leave the matter to them to solve. Now it seems that those guys came back in a hurry just to see a joke.
Xiao Ran can even guarantee that these unscrupulous guys are probably watching everything in the conference room in some way.
