Not long after the envoy from Marquis Falkenheim departed, new information arrived.
âOh, we finally got a response. Count Swipel has invited us to a victory banquet at Crestâs lordâs castle. He says we should finalize the distribution of territory there.â
Andrew handed Ghislain the letter from Count Swipel. After months of excuses, Swipel had finally sent a reply, long after the war had ended.
Amusingly enough, Count Swipel had already seized control of all key locations within Crestâs territory. He had only reached out after securing the lordâs castle itself.
By this point, Andrew and Leo couldnât help but feel uneasy.
âHe waited until he occupied the entire region before contacting us? Why would he do that?â
âHe must have found a way to deal with us.â
âHmph, if it comes to a fight, weâll win, though.â
âExactly. He canât challenge us in open battle anymore. So he must be planning something.â
âWhat kind of scheme?â
âHeâll likely receive knight reinforcements from Marquis Falkenheim. The plan is probably to assassinate the leadership during the banquet.â
Andrew immediately grasped the situation and scowled.
âThat cowardly bastard! Heâs lower than a damn duck!â
