26. The Banquet Part III.

***

Lukav took another glass of Red Moon as he asked Duncan, "Duncan, what do you think of the wines presented by Baron John? it was the first time that I was this surprised after drinking a glass of wine this good."

Duncan looked at Ambassador Luke who was quite cheerful, "That's true the wines were quite good, to be honest. Meanwhile, from the looks of Ambassador Luke, it looks like he was able to achieve his goal this time around. So I am sure he offered something invaluable."

Lukav replied, "My intuition says that this ballista is not everything that we are watching right now. While observing John previously it looked like he intentionally disclosed this weapon to get some benefits. Well, maybe I am only imagining things. As for Luke, he would only work for the interests of the Royal family. He is most likely happy that it didn't cost him much to complete the deal. My instincts say they will betray John later on however they would be in for a surprise."
