FVN Chapter 499
Chapter 499
At Baron Shear’s words, Ghislain gave a faint smile.
“When is it happening?”
“In a month. The negotiation will take place on the Heine Plains, where the ‘item’ will be exchanged.”
Rumors had already spread about an exchange happening during the negotiations. While the exact nature of the item remained unclear, it was known enough for officials to prepare accordingly, ensuring they weren’t caught off guard.
“They put a lot of thought into choosing the location.”
Ghislain was well-acquainted with the Heine Plains. It was near the southern front, devoid of any forests or hills where one could hide—nothing but an open expanse.
It was a barren plain.
If both sides brought their agreed-upon 50,000 troops to meet face-to-face, it would be nearly impossible for either side to pull off a sneak attack.
Baron Shear nodded in agreement.
“Yes. Both sides are maintaining constant reconnaissance to ensure that only the promised troops are brought. They’re being very thorough.”
Trust didn’t come easy, but the stakes were high enough to take the risk. Staying in the capital under the rule of a mad king was terrifying, and there wasn’t much to hold Shear back.
Judging by Count Fenris’s past feats, it somehow felt like he would succeed again.
Ghislain chuckled and nodded.
“Do that. I’ll assign knights to escort you to Fenris Territory.”
Ghislain planned to send word to Dark to arrange for knights to escort Shear a week later. After confirming Shear’s destination, Ghislain asked,
“Any other unusual details?”
“His Majesty plans to attend in person.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, everyone tried to dissuade him, but he wouldn’t listen. It seems he wants to verify the item himself.”
“Makes sense.”
