Donoghue walked to the center of the main hall; he cupped his hands on his chest to pay obeisance to Lord Kenny. He smiled and said, “Congratulations, Your Majesty, for ascending the throne!”
Donoghue sounded very polite, but his body gesture was arrogant and insolent.
Lord Kenny laughed and nodded. He said, “How nice of you to travel a thousand kilometers to come here and congratulate me personally as Westrington’s Prime Minister. Come and have a seat!”
In the last few years, Donoghue had led the Westrington army and fought in many places across the East and West continents. He had made outstanding military exploits which earned him high prestige in Westrington. He possessed a divine weapon—the Sky Breaking Axe—and was well-known across the nine continents.
He had given much face to the New World Royals since he made the trip personally.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Donoghue did not rush to take his seat. Instead, he looked at Lord Kenny with a smile. “Your Majesty, I am here for two things. First of all, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty for ascending the throne on behalf of Westrington. For this, I present you with some treasures from all over the world as a token of our sincerity.”
After that, Donoghue sighed before he said, “The second thing is to represent Westrington on signing a treaty with the New World; this treaty shall last forever. For generations to come, our two continents shall help each other, benefit from each other and celebrate great achievements.”
“Good, good!”
Lord Kenny laughed and nodded in agreement at Donoghue’s proposal.
The political situations in all of the nine continents were unpredictable. Lord Kenny, who had only ascended the throne, desperately needed relationships with the other continents. He was over the moon when Donoghue proposed an alliance; Lord Kenny was more than happy to join him.
Whoa!
The hundreds of civil and military officials in the hall were delighted by the excellent news.
The Westrington continent was very powerful. The New World would prosper after they signed the treaty to ally with such a strong strategic partner.
“But!”
Donoghue smiled and said, “I do have a request before we sign the treaty!”
“Of course, tell me what it is!” Lord Kenny responded with a warm smile; he did not even think about it.
Phew!
Donoghue took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Before we commit to being allies forever, I would like Your Majesty to hand us a few people!”
Hiss!
The entire Full Energy Hall became silent. Everyone’s eyes were on Donoghue.
‘What did he say? Did he ask His Majesty to hand a few people to him?’
