"Lady Ariana, the Rabbit-kin State wants an alliance with us. They are offerin-"
"Reject them."
Before the subordinate could even complete his report, Ariana passed the decision.
The subordinates along with the rest of the elves present in the meeting stared at her in confusion.
"They are at War with another Beastmen State and they are losing.
They have already used all their resources; they do not have anything meaningful to offer.
They want an alliance to use our name to scare off their enemy. If it was an allegiance, I would have considered it, but as long as they are using the world alliance, we have nothing to gain here.
Not to mention we already have enough alliances with stronger forces, if we form alliances with anyone that comes to us, others will take advantage of it."
"…"
The Hall turned silent.
No one had any words to refute what the princess just said.
