Chương 170: Ceasefire

Following the attempt on Bahram's life, the city of Ctesiphon entered what could only be called a ceasefire. The two brothers emerged from their holdings to discuss the matters between them like men. Narseh stood across from his elder brother with a smug look on his face as he called out to the man as if he were triumphant in the whole ordeal.

"I see you still have your head intact brother, you must be blessed by the heavens to survive that assassination attempt!"

This remark only caused Bahram to scoff at his younger brother before lecturing the boy on his actions.

The streets of Ctesiphon are in chaos, and our sister is missing. I propose a halt to the hostilities between us. In exchange for my peace, I want you to give Mitra to me. You have clearly demonstrated a lack of ability to protect her!"
