In the manor hall of Hearthfire Island, everyone sat down according to their original seats.
Nora looked around at everyone with some emotion: "To be honest, it's been a while since we've gotten together like this, right?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they all showed complicated expressions.
"Isn't this because someone took away Hearthfire Island?" Mia said sarcastically.
"If you miss Hearthfire Island in the future, you are welcome to come to Solomon City to see me anytime." Nora said with a smile.
Mia pouted and looked at Ask angrily.
In the past, she would definitely say that Hearthfire Island is the property of the Azure Sword and should be in the hands of the current leader of the Azure Sword - that is, me, Mia.
However, the entire Blue Sword was actually Ask's team in name only. Now that the former leader had come out, the legitimacy of her identity as the current leader was shaken, so naturally she couldn't argue with Nora anymore.
"The main reason I called everyone together this time is to reunite and meet each other." Ask said with a smile, "Of course, during the time I was away, there were a few conflicts among the members of our team. I can also mediate after I come back."
The girls all rolled their eyes.
What is the biggest conflict between us? Captain, don’t you have any idea
Then everyone saw little Lilith climb up from the side of the chair onto Ask's knees, then she made a hissing sound and sat obediently on her father's lap.
"Mediation!" she cried sweetly, raising her little arms. "Let me, little Lilith, mediate! First of all, the issue of father's ownership!"
"Shut up!" Ask slapped the little Lilith and suppressed her. "First of all, the issue is the war between countries."
"I understand that everyone here is not just representing themselves, but also the political interests of their respective camps. It is unrealistic to completely eliminate international conflicts by persuading you alone. But my idea is: after all, everyone is from the Blue Sword team, and there is a certain friendship and friendship between each other. At least we can try to avoid violence and a situation where both sides suffer losses beforehand."
Seeing that the girls had no objection, Ask continued to talk:
"For example, we can use Hearthfire Island as a gathering place. We can set aside one day every month to gather here. This can not only enhance the relationship between each other, but also represent the forces behind us, exchange opinions and reach consensus, so as to minimize conflicts and differences. If necessary, I can also help mediate."
His suggestion was novel. Before this, it was not that there were no diplomatic matters such as "talks" on the mainland, but most of them were "talking about things", such as declaring war, wanting to trade with the other party, or conducting other exchanges, so the leaders of both sides agreed to meet at a place. If nothing happened, everyone would naturally go their own way.
What Ask proposed at this time was a more frequent and regular gathering of high-level officials. Since it was "getting together for no matter what", it showed that the essence behind it was more like a "political party" rather than a "state affairs meeting", with the element of keeping in touch more than discussing business.
