"Father's intention is for you to suppress the naval warfare, with the Knight Order of Sapphire serving as the main force in the war, and we will split the resulting taxes equally between our two families."
Anthony relayed the Sapphire Duke's proposition for their mutual benefit.
In previous years, it had always been the Sapphire Duke who suppressed the situation, battling any potential Dragon Knights to ensure the battlefield remained at the level of ordinary knights. Consequently, all knight orders had to pay taxes on their earnings, especially on metals and other ores, which had to be distributed personally by the Duke after the war.
This time, the Sapphire Duke planned to have Liszt suppress the conflict, and then split the taxes equally, which was still a rather fair proposal.
