章節 385: Big Decisions

Two days later, making it the seventh day of Sergei's arrival in Dakar, the deadline for Leopold to make a decision finally arrived.

They spoke in the very same office where they first had their discussion. Sergei was sitting across from Leopold who had been tapping his fingers on his lap as if he was nervous about something. 

Sergei shot Leopold a calming smile, hoping that it would help him relax a little. He knew that his decision would change the fate of the Senegalese and their land. Should they accept to be annexed by the Ruthenia Empire, then they will become part of the Ruthenia Empire, receive the same benefits the Ruthenians are getting and be part of the history of the Ruthenians Empire's growth. But, should they refuse to be annexed, then there is another way, yet it involves something which both parties don't want. 

"So, Leopold? Have you made your decision?" Sergei began, holding his hand together as he waited for Leopold to answer.
