Van Prat smiled slightly, his tone still modest and polite: "Your Excellency is right. Piracy is indeed deeply rooted in Brussels. From an economic development perspective alone, the Belgian Government should not easily resort to action. But since the pirated books involve His Majesty's concern for international reputation, the police naturally have to step in. However..."
He paused slightly, as if a bit embarrassed: "This still involves the interests of your company. Only with your confirmation and cooperation can it seem justified."
Arthur asked casually, "Did those pirates only pirate Imperial Publishing's works?"
"Of course, they also pirated others." Van Prat coughed lightly: "But rectifying the piracy industry must be done step by step. The related pirated works of the Imperial Publishing Company are the first targets for investigation in Brussels. As for the other companies, that's a matter for later batches to consider."
