Just as Colin expected, the dwarves sent another envoy into Winterfell City the next day.
The envoy was a familiar face - Count Anka.
The fact that members of the Menam family came to negotiate in Winterfell City twice showed that Marquis Dawson was now marginalized in the Dwarf Legion.
This time, Vera and Colin received Count Anka in the flower room.
Of course, the real dominator of the negotiation was still Colin. Vera was fully engrossed in playing with her newly planted Blood Rose.
"Viscount Angler, I have conveyed the thoughts of Miss Vera and yours to my father. He also understands your worries.
However, please believe, we dwarves do not intend to be enemies with the Saint Hilde family.
But! Our determination to found our own nation is just as strong!
To make up for the losses in the North Territory, my father is willing to cede part of our territory..."
At this point, Count Anka unrolled a map of the North Territory, marked with certain areas, to show Colin.
