Chapter 83: Prelude to the Negotiations

"A contract, huh?" King Thandor repeated. "So you are civilized in your dealings."

Vincent nodded, his expression serious. "Indeed. We believe in clear terms and mutual benefits. This ensures that both parties understand their obligations and expectations."

King Thandor smiled slightly, appreciating Vincent's straightforwardness. "Very well, let us discuss the terms."

"Now?" Vincent blinked. 

"Why? Can't we do it now?" 

"Actually," Vincent interjected, glancing at the clock on the wall. "It's already quite late. Perhaps it would be best if we resumed this discussion tomorrow when we're all well-rested."

King Thandor looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding in agreement. "You are right. We have had a long day and tomorrow we can continue with clearer minds."

Vincent smiled appreciatively. "Thank you. Let's reconvene tomorrow morning."
