However, not speaking out loud does not affect everyone’s speculation about the relationship between the two.

If nothing goes wrong, the love news between them will sweep across the Continent in the shortest time.

Perhaps lacking support, the subsequent negotiations went smoothly.

Faced with Derris’s aggressive approach, George showed signs of continuous defeat.

“Respected One, this time the incident was due to our mismanagement and we should bear the responsibility.

The compensation you proposed, we are also willing to accept, but the payment must be delayed.

Everyone knows the situation of the Moxi Duchy.

Having gone through two wars and having multi-billion Gold Coin foreign debt.

…”

After a lengthy complaint for half an hour, as he vividly described the dire situation of the Moxi Duchy.

The scene was so emotional that it left the listeners in tears and made the elf delegation completely stunned.

Are they just facing a super poor ghost, isn’t this just a waste of time!

“No way!

I don’t care how much debt you have or what difficulties you face, the compensation must not be reduced!”

Derris said through gritted teeth.

Claiming to delay payment ostensibly, but in reality, they just don’t want to bear the loss.

Waiting to repay foreign debt before compensating, who knows when the Moxi Duchy will be able to clear its debts?

“Respected One, King George is not lying.

The Moxi Duchy indeed owes a huge amount of debt, their finances have always been on the brink of bankruptcy.

This can be witnessed by the Kingdom, which also suffered from the war, and the Kingdom of Elf’s finances are also struggling; as a stationed Ambassador, I have been in arrears for five years’ salary.

The situation faced by Moxi Duchy is even worse, and it’s all due to King George’s resourcefulness that they managed to persist until now.

The substantial compensation your side proposed, they really lack the ability to pay.

Under this context, delaying the compensation payment is the best choice.

If you don’t believe it, you may inquire about the financial status of the Moxi Duchy to see that I’m not lying.”

The Alpha Ambassador said enlighteningly.

Originally, he was puzzled why his own Marshal cooperated to leave, but now he understood everything.

The Moxi Duchy is just broke, regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, the end result is the same.

The more compensation materials required, it’s just adding a debt on paper; does more debt really burden them?

It could just lead to financial bankruptcy!

“Bang!”

With a slap, Derris shattered the table in front of her, scolding angrily: “You are deliberately mocking me, do you really think the Elf Race is easy to bully?”

Hearing the noise inside, Hudson rushed over as fast as he could to save the situation.

However, he was still struck by the scene in front of him.

Under Derris’s intimidation, the people from the Moxi Duchy were like helpless children, looking with pitiful eyes at the representatives of various countries for help, their bodies trembling almost to the point of collapsing.

If Hudson hadn’t known the truth beforehand, he would have been deceived by this scene.

The effect was very clear, as the Envoy of the Kingdom of Elf spoke up, representatives from the Human Race countries intervened.

It doesn’t matter how sincere it is, what is crucial is that the Human Race countries have declared their stance, this requires the Elf Race to think carefully before they act.

“Miss Derris, don’t be so angry.

You have also seen the situation of the Moxi Duchy, they really can’t pose a threat to your country.

Letting things drag on is not beneficial for anyone.

It’s better to reach an agreement sooner and settle this dispute.

No matter what, your side can still receive a substantial compensation, it’s only a matter of extending the time a bit.

Rather than continue the turmoil, why not sit down slowly and discuss a phased compensation agreement that suits the actual situation of the Moxi Duchy.”

Hudson’s persuasion not only did not soothe Derris’s anger but made her even angrier.

Isn’t this treating the elves as fools?

If she had known earlier that Moxi Duchy was so poor, she wouldn’t have obsessed over material compensation and made concessions in other areas.

“What if we don’t agree?”

Derris said through gritted teeth, her gaze as sharp as if she could slice someone into pieces.

“Miss Derris, it’s best not to do this.

I have bad news to tell you:

Just now, the Moxi Duchy Government has gone through financial bankruptcy liquidation, which is why King George came late, dealing with the bankruptcy.

All the taxes of the Moxi Duchy have been mortgaged to the creditors, including all additional future taxes, which also must be used primarily to repay the debt.

Frankly speaking, for the next thirty years, their financial situation is unlikely to improve.”

Hudson spread his hands as he spoke.

If you’re going to act, you’ve got to commit fully; the spiraling crises in the Moxi Government, if not leading to financial bankruptcy, it would indeed be hard to justify.

To cooperate with the act, the Near East Development Bank has just taken over a tax mortgage loan.

The collected funds were all used by the Moxi Government to pay off foreign debts.

Theoretically, after the bankruptcy of the Moxi Duchy Government, over ninety percent of the government’s tax revenue must be used to repay bank loans.

The agreement just reached, due to lack of payment capacity, has essentially become void.

As things have developed to this stage, the options left for the Elf Race are limited: either accept the delayed payment, achieving a diplomatic victory in appearance; or continue the tough stand.

If the Moxi Duchy had been strong enough to threaten the strategic security of the Elf Race, Derris could have chosen the second option without hesitation.

But the current situation is special, a Moxi Duchy caught in internal strife is already falling apart, seemingly there’s no need to stir further problems.

According to past experience, without interference from external forces, the Human Race would start an endless internal struggle.

Once faced with foreign invaders, this instead would promote unity among the internally warring parties to together face the invaders.
