With the approval of Kyle, the entire Lolan City got into action.
Along the streets, they began to carry out the law and order. Teams of imperial guards began to fill up every corner of the palace. The security had beco several tis stricter than before.
Soon, the news of the envoy from the Spartan Kingdom coming to Lolan City gradually spread.
Even the people on the streets of Lolan City discussed this matter with great interest every day.
Under the intensive arrangents, the delegation of the Spartan Kingdom passed through the state and the city, rapidly approaching Lolan City.
About five days later, a huge envoy of 500 people appeared in Lolan City.
The Marquis welcod the envoy with open arms.
On the day of the arrival, Kyle announced that a court eting would be held in the morning of the second day to specially receive the envoys of the Spartan Kingdom.
…
During May of the 15th year in the Lolan era.
King Kyle received the envoys from the Spartan Kingdom at the eting hall in Lolan City. All the civil and military officials of the palace were all present.
The mont the court eting was announced, the huge bronze bell that hung in the palace was struck by a few guards. The sound of the bell instantly enveloped the entire city.
After the first bell, the sound of drums also rang out.
Kyle’s figure then appeared from the side of the eting hall and he slowly sat on the king’s throne.
The ministers imdiately cheered three tis.
It was not until Kyle signaled for everyone to stand up that the bell and drum sound that resounded throughout the palace stopped.
“The envoys of the Spartan Kingdom have co to the palace to et with you!”
A loud voice bood throughout. A few foreign n who clearly did not look like the people of Lolan were led to the palace by the guards.
Behind these n were a few items covered with red silk.
The three emissaries, one principal, two deputies, and three sub-deputies walked to the designated positions. They imdiately knelt down together and bowed to Kyle.
“Envoy Puye pays his respects to his majesty, the King of the Lolan Empire!”
The civil and military officials who were watching on both sides nodded respectfully.
The etiquette of the emissaries of the Spartan Kingdom was in place. At the very least, they t the standards in terms of addressing and kneeling higher-ups.
There was a smile on Kyle’s face, but in his heart, he was on his toes, he said calmly, “Envoys, please rise!”
After Puye stood up, he perford the native etiquette of the Spartan Kingdom to show his respect to Kyle. Then, he said, “Your Majesty, I am here on the orders of the new king from our country, Marcus, to bring you the most sincere blessing. May you live a long and happy life!”
Kyle smiled and said, “Thank you for your king’s good intentions and please convey my blessings to him as well.”
Puye bowed and then turned around to open the first item on his back, revealing a docunt inside.
“Your Majesty, this is a national letter personally written by the King of Spartan. I respectfully present it to you.”
Kyle sat up straight. Then, the servant who was serving him quickly walked down and took the national letter from Puye with both hands.
The content of the national letter was very simple. First, it praised the Lolan Empire’s national strength and wealth. Then, it humbly said that the Spartan Kingdom was weak and is struggling to survive amidst the chaos. Then, it expressed that it hoped that the two countries could coexist amicably. After reading the national letter, Kyle put it aside.
Then, he said to Puye in a pleasant manner, “Your King ntioned in the national letter that he hoped that the two countries could get along amicably and that he hoped that there would be no war.
“This had been my intention as well from ages ago. My Lolan Empire is willing to coexist amicably with the Spartan Kingdom and interact with the other countries peacefully.
“Our two countries could be on good terms from generation to generation so that we can live for a thousand years!”
Kyle’s conveyed ssage was carried out respectfully. No matter what he thought in his heart, at the very least, he was being extrely kind on the surface.
In any case, he would not lose anything even if he promised a few simple words. As for whether or not he could maintain peace and long-term coexistence, it would completely depend on the needs of the Lolan Empire.
When the real fight was about to start, they would not care about this so-called letter from the kingdom.
After Puye listened to Kyle’s words, he imdiately knelt down again.
“Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely convey your words to the king word for word. I believe My Majesty will also be happy about this.”
After going through a complete set of formalities, it was almost noon. Under the loud announcent of the personal guards, the court eting finally adjourned.
However, only most of the officials of different ranks left the palace. The others followed Kyle to the side hall, and the three envoys from the Spartan Kingdom were no exception.
This was because Kyle wanted to hold a banquet in the side hall to entertain Puye and the others. This was the Lolan Empire’s custom when receiving foreign envoys.
After everyone took their seats in the side hall, the sounds of singing and dancing rang out. With that, fine wine and delicacies were also served.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone beca sowhat relaxed. The atmosphere had also beco much more relaxed.
Puye’s face was flushed red. It was obvious that he had drunk quite a lot of wine.
He cupped his hands towards Kyle and said, “Your Majesty, the singing and dancing of the Lolan Empire and the fine wine and delicacies of the Lolan Empire are simply incomparably wonderful. After I return, I most definitely would suggest to My Majesty to imitate the Lolan Empire and learn a few these things.”
A glimr of light flashed in Kyle’s eyes.
Then he smiled and said, “It seems that the king of your country is a person who likes to learn about the culture of the Lolan Empire.”
Puye imdiately nodded.
“What Your Majesty said is true. My Majesty from Spartan Kingdom is passionate about the culture of the Lolan Empire. The young king thinks that the culture of this empire is very noble.
“Although he has only been on the throne for less than a few months, as long as he has ti, he would always study about it it with books.”
Kyle was montarily stunned. Then, he said with praise in his tone, “The culture of the empire is vast and profound. There is naturally no harm in learning and studying frequently.”
Puye walked out from his seat at this ti and ca to the middle of the side hall.
“Your Majesty, my Spartan King has actually ordered to co as an envoy this ti and has also given a mission.”
In an instant, the entire side chamber was silent. Even the singing and dancing stopped subconsciously.
Kyle subtly communicated with Rosen and the other ministers with his eyes. As expected, the main topic was here. The people of Spartan were indeed hiding sothing.
If it was as expected, this so-called mission was one of the hidden purposes of Spartan.
Kyle imdiately waved his hand and dismissed all the singing and dancing.
Then he smiled and said, “What kind of mission is it? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Puye imdiately bowed to everyone.
“This ti, making my way to the Lolan Empire. My Spartan King has given three questions.
“These are all the difficult problems he encountered in the past when he was studying cultural classics. Unfortunately, no one in the Spartan Kingdom could ease the king’s worries.
“That’s why he ordered to co to the Lolan Empire and ask the young talents of the Lolan Empire to give him so answers. After all, the Lolan Empire is vast and has a large population, so there must be many talents.
“He concluded that that the most intelligent and wise person in the Lolan Empire must be soone who could manage the country well.. That’s why I ventured to ask His Majesty and all the ministers of the Lolan Empire to help him with these doubts.”
