Orion stared at Grand Duke Richard, a glint of cunning in his eyes.
Orion was able to quickly deduce that this diplomatic visit could only mean one of two things.
The first possibility was a peace negotiation, where they sought an equal dialogue with the hope of transforming conflict into peace, aiming to resolve disputes and tensions between the two sides.
The human kingdom and Stoneheart Horde hadn't engaged in direct conflict yet, so Orion immediately dismissed this option.
The second possibility was an alliance visit, where both sides would seek a sustainable, equal relationship in order to foster mutual development in areas like economy, technology, and population growth.
In simple terms, in this world, it meant seeking an alliance to gain access to more minerals, crystal cores, rare materials… and slaves.
Grand Duke Richard remained calm under Orion's gaze.
