Chapitre 211: Discussion I

Sindra and Ven'thur were the ones to give Li a solid rundown of what had happened in his daylong absence.

"It was midafternoon the day before," said Ven'thur. "Right after I had worked out a contract with the Merchant's Guild that would cease their needless threats and grant us both benefit. I beheld a mass number of knights mobilizing throughout the city, even in the northern side where they do not like to make a racket so as to not disturb the more privileged citizens of the city.

That prompted me to speak to a few officials in the city hall whom I have had the pleasure of convincing quite thoroughly to be my acquaintances, but there was mere panic and confusion. No two officials could grant me the same tale.

So, I went to Count Alexei for counsel."

"And how has he been doing?" said Li, curious as to how the count was handling this sudden upheaval throughout the city.
