Kapitel 89: Not Backing

The car ride to the Valorian consulate was short, but it gave Chuma time to consider his approach. The King's words had been clear—Zambesi would not yield to foreign pressur e. Yet, Chuma also understood the delicate position they were in. Valoria's support was the pillar keeping their enemies at bay, and without it, the kingdom risked crumbling under the weight of both internal rebellion and external threats.

As the car arrived at the entrance to the consulate, Chuma's thoughts shifted to the meeting ahead. The Valorian ambassador, Viktor Reinhardt, was known for his sharp mind and unwavering loyalty to his homeland. Delivering Mwanga's refusal would not be easy, and Chuma knew the consequences could be severe.

He stepped out of the carriage, the cool evening air biting against his skin as he approached the heavy iron gates. The Valorian guards, standing tall and vigilant, recognized Chuma immediately and allowed him entry without question.
