People no longer reacted immediately as they had in the past.
The first reason was that Ghislain had given them advance notice. The second was that they all knew that trying to dissuade him was futile.
So, they decided to wait and hear him out. After all, he had promised to explain.
Ghislain couldnât help but feel slightly disappointed by their lukewarm reaction.
"Ahem. Anyway, Iâll explain now, so listen carefully. The king and the Dukeâs faction are preparing to exchange something."
Information from spies sent to the capital was pouring in at an incredible rate.NoÌv(el)B\\jnn
The other retainers might not know much, but Ghislain and Claude, who were receiving the reports, had a decent grasp of the situation in the capital.
Ghislainâs expression grew serious as he continued.
"Honestly, we could confront the king right now. But I want to know exactly what the king is giving them. Thatâs the root cause of this war. And Iâm curious about what the Salvation Order is giving the king in return."
Whatever the two sides were exchanging, it had to be significant. Ghislain wanted to uncover the truth.
Claude grasped the underlying meaning behind Ghislainâs words.
"So... by âconfirm,â you mean youâre planning to âstealâ it, donât you?"
"Exactly. You got it."
Simply learning about the items wasnât enough for Ghislain. Without direct access, there was always a chance of misunderstanding or missing key details.
