The communication crystal was connected.
But as if by tacit agreement, both parties kept silent.
After another three or four seconds, the Marquess of West Berlin was the first to speak—
"I'd like to speak with Lord Kledos in private."
With that statement, everyone around dispersed.
And Arthur seemed to walk to one side alone out of respect.
"I apologize, Lord Kledos.
The cooperation this time was my mistake.
I will compensate double for the loss I caused you."
The Marquess of West Berlin said very sincerely.
"I appreciate your generosity, but some things once done, cannot be undone.
Wrong is wrong.
How could a shattered mirror ever be restored to its original state?"
Arthur drew out his tone, with an appearance of regret.
"We can negotiate again, about the revenue from Port Doldot.
If a twenty percent revenue can't make the broken mirror whole again, then I think an additional ten percent might find a better craftsman to create an even better mirror."
