"lovely, Pedro, well as you know, the Zealandic Empire dabbles in the slave trade, as in, we are the biggest merchants of Slaves, thanks to our state run Trans-Indian Merchant Company. The Kingdom of Spain, has purchased slaves from us before, and some other countries might do so soon. However, we need to actually be able to guarantee our product can make it to your shores safely. Our Navy, while large, can not be stretched out to such a point to be able to protect Merchant ships all the way to your shores, so, the Zealandic Empire, asks that both of our nations, establish protected trade routes for boats, going either way, between TZE and KoS. How receptive to that would the Kingdom be?"

The Kingdom is very receptive to the idea of protecting trade routes both slaves and other goods.
