The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 975 Beginning Of The Peace Negotiation

"Oh? That's good to hear." Minos said in satisfaction but without any surprise in his voice.

"When will your troops leave the Black Plain?" Abby asked that woman.

Jade then said. "By the time this meeting is over, I believe we will be out of the Black Plain. But it may take a few days for us to leave the area in rebellion completely..."

Abby and Minos then readily understood that such a woman referred to this southernmost area of the Kingdom of the Waves that had joined the Black Plain.

Minos then said in a serious tone. "It's okay that this will still take a few more days, but I must say that your family took quite a while to accept my offer."

"Your time has almost reached the limit." He commented on this point since he was not far from advancing to level 54, which had been the limit given to Kara to resolve the matter of her family's surrender.

"I want to make it clear to you that you had better be careful in the future. Don't risk not following my orders since I will punish you if that happens."

"Uh?" Jade exclaimed in surprise, not expecting to get a scolding from Minos in this place. 'Ah, he's not going to make it easy for us even after all we've done...'

'Well, I have to convince my husband to be more helpful than he intends for the Black Plain in the future. Otherwise, he may suffer because of this young man.'

"Okay, I will not forget your words, and I will pass them on to the rest of the family."

"Very well."_{pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ}

"Now, tell me something." Minos eased his expression, happy with the way Jade handled the situation.

She was not like the members of the Snow family, who knew perfectly well how to handle him and speed up the carrying out of his orders. But Jade was not bad, and Minos knew from the look on this woman's face that she had probably helped to speed up the Carline family's surrender significantly.

In fact, observing how she was sitting with her legs firmly together, a slight blush on her face, frequent smiles, and gaze focused on him, he knew she wanted to repeat the previous experience. And as someone who understood how to work to achieve what she wanted, Jade had used her skills to get to this place and generate benefits for Minos.

With that in mind, Minos had no regrets about the immorality he had done in the Kingdom of the End capital and even felt delighted with it.

He then asked. "Have you brought any spiritual judge to validate my contract with you? I don't intend to go to your state for the time being, but I want to have an agreement with you before our farewell."

"That will at least give me some guarantees."

'Guarantees? Is that all you're interested in?' She felt a little disappointed by Minos' coldness since she had so much more in mind...

She then said. "Yes, I brought someone like that with me."

"Good." Minos smiled and gave her a brief wink. "Today, after the first peace negotiation, I will come to your tent so we can discuss the details of that agreement."

"I hope you don't mind that..." _{pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ}

"Oh?" She made a brief sound of surprise but soon behaved herself, trying to suppress the anxiety in her heart. "I definitely don't mind!"

"I'll be waiting for us to talk about this 'deal' later." She said this, feeling relieved that Minos was interested in continuing their forbidden relationship.

'I'm glad I prepared for that!'

'I'll finally be able to wear those pieces without shame...' She thought this just after saying goodbye to Minos' group and running towards her area in that camp.

Some time passed, and at this instant, almost all the most critical individuals in that camp were already in a large open-air area where the main event was scheduled to take place.

In that circular fight stage-shaped place, several small areas with chairs and structures to comfortably receive the royal entourages were arranged at equal distances from each other at the ends of one half of the circular area.

At the same time, most of these small areas were already filled with people, many of them chatting simultaneously, creating a specific symphony in that area.

Meanwhile, in the other half of the circular area, the structure for the members of the Spiritual Church participating in the event was full of individuals in Purple cloaks, waiting for the peace negotiations to begin.

Finally, Gloria wore her Black cloak, sitting at the main point of that place, from where she could see each of those groups and also the visitors who were standing on the sides of that area. _{ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​}

'Where is Minos? It's way past the appointed time!' She thought about it silently as she looked from one side to the other in a discreet manner, feeling a slight irritation at his delay.

And not only did she think about it.

"Where is he? Why doesn't this guy just show up at once so we can sort all this out?" Someone from the Spiritual Church asked his companions.

On the other hand, King Brown understood what Minos was doing very well.

"That villain!"

"He's playing games with us, making us have to wait on him like he's some important figure or something!" He commented to his staff as he watched the sunset in that region.

And upon hearing that, a brown-haired woman, level 57, standing next to that old king, frowned as she heard her father's words.

"Father, why are you saying this? Hadn't we better stop these hostilities?" Diana Brown asked, feeling that it was wrong for her father to fight and despise young Stuart so much, the son of the man who had once saved her life.

She had recently arrived in the northern region of the Central Continent and discovered the terrible news concerning her family and young Stuart.

And since she genuinely respected and owed much to Albert, Diana wanted to find a way to save her family and end the war against Minos, the son of her savior.

As for the Brown family's losses, her father had also caused considerable damage to the Black Plain. Minos could have quickly gained his independence if it had not been for him.

Hence, despite her household's losses, she judged that both sides had suffered and that a ceasefire was most welcome.

King Brown then commented. "Diana, you don't know what that demon is capable of!"

"Stop thinking he is like Albert just because he is that fellow's son."

"You, no, our family, owe that brat nothing!"

"And the Black Plain has been part of my Brown Kingdom for hundreds of thousands of years. So, we cannot allow this dismemberment without reason!" He said this angrily, looking at that woman who seemed naive for someone who lived in the Flaming Empire.

"Don't forget that your great-uncle died on his account!"

Hearing this, Diana felt terrible for that person's death, but she still felt that this war was wrong. After all, even if Minos had indeed generated the situation of London Brown's death, the whole thing could be seen as a defensive action by him.

"I regret uncle London's death, but I still think this war should never have started, Father."

"Why didn't you give up the Black Plain?"

"You wouldn't be losing anything!"

"Tsk!"

"You're too naive, Diana. Our family couldn't do such nonsense, and my decisions were the best that could have been made!"

"Humph!"

pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴoᴠᴇʟ "A person who has fled the battlefield repeatedly has no right to say those words!" Then, a soul-wrenching voice for those who had once fought in the Black Plain's war of independence sounded through that area, causing all the people there to stop their conversations.

"Minos!" Gloria said in an annoyed tone, looking to where this young man and the three women who accompanied him were walking toward their small area there.

"Minos, we've been waiting for you for 20 minutes! What took you so long? Are you tricking me?" She asked aloud.

"Only 20 minutes? Aside from you and a few others here, that was not long at all." He smiled as he despised most of the people below the 7th stage who were in that place.

"Isn't it natural for subordinates to wait until their leader decides when to show up?" He said slowly, slowly looking at the people in that place, especially the Brown and Cromwell family members.
