Chapter 981

Penny's actions had forced Lisandra to make a decision. Summoning the rest of the envoys, she draped her outer robe over her shoulders and forced herself to sit upright in a chair. "Negotiations will resume tomorrow afternoon. The terms are up for discussion. There's no need to be so rigid," she announced bluntly.

Leroy's eyes widened. "Discussion? How do you plan to discuss it? Are you saying we should just agree if they demand we pull back our borders?"

"We'll put the border issue on hold for now," replied Lisandra, who had already made up her mind and was resolute, disregarding their objections. "We aim to reach an agreement by tomorrow or the day after, then we'll leave for home immediately." "You can't..."

Lisandra gave her uncle a cold glance. "I'm not asking for your opinion. This is my decision. If you're unhappy, keep it to yourself."

A furious Leroy shot back, "This is pure stubbornness! If we put the border issue aside, how are we supposed to explain it to the king and all the officials? What do we tell the people?"

"I'll explain it. I don't need you to do it," the grand princess said decisively.

Having overseen state affairs for years, Lisandra had a natural air of authority. She narrowed her eyes, her gaze alone carrying a commanding presence.

"Now, go back and draft a new proposal. Try to secure more compensation from Starhaven and take the border issue off the table. We will sign an agreement, and in two years, we'll continue negotiations on this matter. I also hope to resolve the border issue through further talks," she instructed.

Pathetic!
