While Holy Emperor Bana CXXII enjoyed a glorious gourmet Hamburger made from the best bread, tomatoes, beef, lettuces, etc for his lunch, a weird visitor dressed in a weird shade of green suddenly barged into the dining hall. As the guards forcefully dragged him out of the hall, he suddenly threw a giant lettuce leaf toward the Emperor's face. Not only was it perfectly aimed, but the lettuce also landed in Bana's mouth the moment he tried taking a bite of his royal hamburger.
The colour of Bana's face turned red, then green, then purple, then white, and finally turned back to its original colour. Everyone was preparing for the worst.
"I-it's... It's DELICIOUS!!!! What a wonderful sweet taste!" he exclaimed. He pointed at the visitor.
"You! Yes, YOU! Come sit down beside me. I want to know everything about this lettuce. Sebas, bring this guest a fine lunch will you?" he said as he pulled the chair to his right.
"Well, you see, Your Majesty, this lettuce leaf you just ate came from one of our very proud farms. Our nation specializes in producing lettuce and..."
"No need to say more. Just for confirmation, have you talked about this with other nations?"
"No, but..."
"The Banalands shall purchase every lettuce you produce! Or do you have any objections?"
"Actually, not really. I was just told to establish a good diplomatic relationship with the Banalands, but... Should I suppose you will be reselling our lettuce at a higher price after you bought them from us?"
"And?" asked Bana menacingly.
"W-w-well, I-i j-just thought th-that we receive n-no benefits..." he said, feeling intimidated.
"Ho~. Is that so? Fine then. How about we guarantee you our help in case you are attacked?"
"Will you really?" asked the visitor skeptical.
"Are you doubting me?"
"N-n-n-no, b-b-bu-but..."
"Sigh... I really admire your courage. You have my word. If we fail to honour this pact, then... We die. As simple as that."
"Huh? Wait. Wh-" stared the visitor toward the hamburger in Bana's hand, visibly confused.
A dark and ominous aura enveloped it and without flinching, Bana ate it.

The Banalands recognize Lettuceland's sovereignty and will help the Lettuceland in case where they get attacked (When they will get in range.) The Lettucelands engage to sell whatever they produce at a discount price to the Banalands (When they will get in range. The Banalands will also help Lettuceland in developing its nation.
