A lot happens, and I'm not sure what to do. Things appear to be in my favor for some unknown reason. Right now, I'm standing in front of Empress Dahlia II. She's a red-haired woman, basically in her thirties but still looking young. She has a fiery look, more like an ojou-sama type. She's the current empress and the wife of the former emperor Auxas.

In Cignus, of course, they're asking for concessions and a peace treaty. For better or worse, she's actually offering one when we weren't asking for it.

"President Oliver, I'm pleased to meet you," Empress Dahlia II said, extending her hand with a polite yet cynical smile. Her presence exuded both elegance and very dangerous aura.

"The honor is mine," I replied, leaning in to kiss her hand. Her skin was soft, but her grip was firm, a subtleties as reminder of her authority.

"Let's get to the subject..." she continued, her tone turning sharp. "This is our offer for concessions, peace, and a non-aggression pact with Cignus. I hope the president can agree." Her smile remained, but her eyes hinted at the seriousness behind her words.

"Depends on the matter," I responded with my own smile. "Oh." I looked over the document she handed me. The terms were surprisingly advantageous for Cignus.

"Something's wrong? Or do you feel it's a bit lacking?" she asked, her eyes narrowing slightly, as if daring me to find fault. It was clear she was not to be underestimated.

"I'm rather impressed by this elaborate and..." I paused, choosing my words carefully. "Very generous proposal," I responded, meeting her gaze.
