Encounters Before the Peace Negotiations

After accepting Minos' orders, Blake left that place alongside his companions, sighing in defeat for not being able to get his mother back.

But since Minos had made no new threats against him and the Walker family, he was at least feeling no worse for not having brought Wilfred along on this trip.

As for the execution of his younger brother, well, he honestly did not care about Charles' life as he would have killed that person himself if he had had the chance in the past.

However, he was not happy either. After all, as much as Charles was his enemy, Minos' hostage was still part of the Walker family. Furthermore, having the future king watch his own brother's execution could not be a good thing for his honor and record.

No, this was another form of humiliation that the Walker family would have to deal with, which the entire regional population would see as a weakness of the power now under Blake's leadership.

What would come of this new reality?
