Chapter 610: Establishing the Free State of Jerusalem

Having concluded the night's dinner, the guests of the Byzantine Palace were led to their allotted quarters for the evening, where they rested peacefully under the security of the mighty Byzantine Empire. Though the negotiations up until this point had been quite fierce, in the end, both sides had come to a tacit understanding about the most outstanding issues between them. 

Berengar, ever the hard worker, did not immediately go to sleep upon returning to his quarters. Instead, he spent the night putting pen to ink as he drafted a critical document for the meeting that would undoubtedly take place the next day. It was not until well past midnight that the young emperor got any wink of sleep. 

When the light of the dawn shone through Berengar's window, he rose from his slumber and prepared himself for the day's negotiations. As with every day, he started out his morning with a strict exercise regimen before bathing.
