Ten days later.
In the northern part of the Palante Empire.
As a rural estate of the Palante Empire, Qieke Manor was located about six hundred kilometers north of the capital city, Helsaraym, in Bokin County.
In cases where more privacy and security were needed, the border estate could be chosen as the site for high-level negotiations.
The manor had been donated to the royal family by Sir Arthur decades ago to provide a place for state officials to rest and work, away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, Helsaraym.
In this northernmost borough town of the Palante Empire, even in August the climate remained cold, with a continuous drizzle and the sky full of thick clouds, making the daylight appear as dusky as twilight.
It was only ten in the morning at the moment.
The heavy clouds already hung low, and on the streets, people hurried along as if they wanted to blend into the surrounding gray walls.
