In fact, it wasn't just Fisher—even Nalga, who had come as a mediator, felt that Peter's two conditions were a little too greedy, or rather, utterly outlandish.
Having officially become a citizen and obtained the rank of general wasn't enough? Now he wanted to overthrow the Smith Royal Family as well?
His demand was tantamount to pushing every black except himself onto the opposing side.
You had to understand that you had merely held back the black army's offensive for the time being, not that you were crushing Fisher!
Unless you could pin Fisher down and beat him until he wanted to surrender, you had no business making demands like these.
As the side being pinned down and beaten, Fisher found these terms more than a little excessive.
But Nalga knew perfectly well that this was actually the result of Peter having already made concessions.
Before this, with the establishment of the Rakshasa Republic, the Revolutionary Army's cadres had already begun addressing Peter as "His Majesty." In other words, Peter had originally intended to become king himself.
From this alone, Nalga could confirm that no matter how beautifully or pleasantly Peter spoke of a republic, that probably wasn't what he truly had in mind.
Before this, he had mainly used the idea of a republic to rally people to follow him and rise in revolt with him.
