Riona was a little surprised to hear the news, it seemed that Pride was actually moving quickly and gaining victory.
Since it was already seen that Pride won, Riona was not interested at all anymore and just asked "Elos, what are you going to do to Pride? Although he managed to bring victory to him but he has broken the military rule you gave to guard the Animal Man Kingdom, if you don't punish him then people will doubt the military laws you've made".
Elos puts the letter back to the table and seeing a joking smile on Riona's face, Elos soon finds out that Riona has no intention of punishing Pride but she definitely has other plans to play with Elos.
Despite knowing that Riona was trying to deceive her, Elos still asked "So, do you have any advice? Looks like you already had the idea to punish him so you said it".
A bright smile appeared on Riona's face "What if master punishes her by allowing Pride to become the master lady? Although Pride used to be a slave, he was still clean because other men did not dare to touch him who had a curse when he became a slave. In addition, Pride is a very beautiful Elf woman, any man must be very interested in her. Therefore, why not use the excuse of this punishment to make Pride a master woman?".
Elos looked at Riona in front of him strangely "Riona, I don't understand the way you think. Why do you always try to match me to other women? Aren't you going to be jealous?".
"I must be lying if I say no jealousy" said Riona smiling bitterly, then she held the face of Elos' skull with gentle eyes "I'm jealous, I'm jealous, but I know that a strong man who will rule the world like you must have many women around. Moreover, you are becoming stronger every day, so I know that you will most likely have many women. Therefore, I would feel more pain if you lied to me about the woman you had. I don't mind as long as I have a little bit of a part in your heart, that's enough as long as you still care about me. What's more important is never to lie to me, no matter how many women you have".
Elos was a little surprised at Riona's way of thinking, she reached out her skull hand gently to hold Riona's head "Don't worry, you're always important in my heart, you're always important, at least no matter how many women I have then no one can replace your position, nor will I lie to you".
Riona smiled sweetly at Elos, although she could see a bit of sadness behind her smile, however, there was no woman who did not feel pain when there was another woman besides her.
Looking at Riona's face, Elos is determined in her heart that she will protect and look after Riona as best she can from now on, at least Elos will never leave Riona unless it is Riona's will to leave Elos.
...----------------...
When Elos and Riona were busy with their own world, on the other hand the Merchant Federation was in a state of panic
Especially the Loris Chamber of Commerce which had already lost 5 cities, even their capital was already surrounded which made them unable to escape, as long as Pride led the troops to attack then it would be the end of their Loris Chamber of Commerce.
In the palace of the Capital Loris, an old man with short white hair as well as a thin face sat in his chair with a stern face, a, although the entire capital of Loris was already surrounded, his face did not panic in the slightest because he was Loris Fern, the current head of the Loris Chamber of Commerce. As the head of the chamber of commerce, he should not panic, if he panicked, the entire chamber of commerce would collapse.
Whether it was the young or old from the higher-ups of the Loris Chamber of Commerce gathered in this room, most of them were already in a panic.
Seeing that everyone was busy with their respective affairs and continued to worry, Fern who always closed his eyes immediately opened his eyes "Shut your mouth! As the 10 great chambers of commerce of the Federation of Merchants, aren't you shy about being this weird?".
The entire person in the room became silent, rather they were staring at Fern with eyes full of confidence. Although they were in very bad shape now, Fern always found the idea to solve the problem of the Solis Chamber of Commerce. Even the Loris Chamber of Commerce used to be not 10 large chambers of commerce in the Federation of Traders, but since Fern took office he made several policies that immediately raised the position of the Loris Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, many people believe in Fern despite the difficult circumstances.
The deputy head of the Loris Chamber of Commerce, Fudin Loris who was also Fern's son asked doubtfully "Head, do you have any idea to solve this problem? Are the other 10 chambers of commerce planning to help us?".
Even though he was Fern's son, in front of everyone Fudin had to call Fern the head, not the father.
Fern looked at Fudin with a mocking smile "You think the other 10 chambers of commerce will help? Are you stupid? They're happy to see us in trouble! After all our 10 chambers of commerce have business competition so the destruction of 1 chamber of commerce will make the loss of 1 enemy, so they must be happy to watch us be destroyed! Especially the Yiles Chamber of Commerce in power right now, we've always been against their decisions that have made Yiles hostile towards us as well".
Hearing that, Fudin asked again doubtfully "Then head on, what should we do? The strongest border general Loris in Fort Hussar has been defeated, we have no stronger fighters. If we fight the forces of Lord Elos Labyrinth, then there is no chance of winning".
"Are you guys completely unable to think?" said Fern with a gloomy face "This all happened because of the Merchant Federation's decision to attack Novus Island secretly, therefore Elos attacks us not out of an unforgivable grudge. So we can use other means as a form of our compensation to them to stop this war".
Another man from the Loris Chamber of Commerce asked full of interest "Head, so what should we do? Do we have to pay money? We can give 1000 gold coins in exchange for peace, I'm sure the poor Elos will definitely not refuse that much money!".
Fern hit the table angrily, he ended up actually exploding "Do you guys still not understand the situation right now? 1000 Gold coins enough? Even the 5 cities they took from us are already over 1000 gold coins, do you think the enemy is stupid? Why do they bother to accept our money, if they destroy us then they can get all our money! Then why would they bother making peace for just 1000 gold coins? Wouldn't it be better to destroy the entire Loris Chamber of Commerce and get all our money? Do you think Elos is a fool who receives 1000 gold coins just for peace? If he were a fool, Ray's kingdom wouldn't be ruined! Open your eyes and look at the whole situation! Didn't the Ray Kingdom used to be arrogant towards Elos as well? Look carefully, how is the Ray Kingdom now?".
Everyone in the room became silent, they no longer dared to speak when Fern was angry, much less Fern's words were true.
Among all the people, only Fudin dared to speak "If they don't accept our money, they have already taken control of all our cities, then what else will Elos receive for peace?".
Fern, who had suppressed his anger, sat back down, thinking for a while before saying "We must make a great loss for peace with Elos this time, so prepare yourself! If you are not prepared to pay the high price for peace, then be prepared to die!".
