Chương 272: In Hoc Signo Vinces

King Ferdinand leaned over and whispered to one of the men bearing witness to this historical event. The man in question was recording the words that had been spoken by all those who were present for these negotiations. 

And after a slight nod of his head, the man stood up and departed. This act caught the curious gaze of the leaders of the Central Powers, of which King Constantine I of Greece was the most belligerent, and was thus quick to interrogate his Bulgarian Peer over what he had just done. 

"And what, pray tell, is your pawn up to in our absence that is so important that he must disregard his job as the scribe for this meeting?" 

Ferdinand obviously did not take kindly to the implications that he was somehow plotting or scheming against the backs of those he was trying to negotiate with and was thus compelled to reveal his hand, even if it was a bit sooner than he wished to do so.
