บท 444: Return to the Capital

"Did they cause you trouble?" Riz asked as soon as Samuel returned from Larkish.

"Aside from Inver having a misunderstanding about our presence there in the beginning and the reluctance of Inverloch's generals to accept the treaty, no serious problem arose," Samuel reported succinctly.

Upon his return to Baroks, Samuel sought out his king to deliver his report.

Riz nods, "That's understandable. They're at the brink of success and we blocked it. Everyone would be frustrated. It must be hard for you to convince them."

"Actually, not at all. Sir Lucas took care of that for me," Samuel replied.

"Lucas? Do you mean Alexander Lucas? He was there?"

"Yes, everything is going smoothly because of him."

"That's weird. Why is he so supportive of this treaty." Riz furrowing his brow.

The last time he talked with Alexander, that guy was enthusiastic about this war. He wondered what changed his mind.
