For Safety

One might wonder about the whereabouts of the man behind all these troubles George Sphrantzes, for he seems to have vanished from the city ever since the spark of the coup.

Well of course one is unable to find out where he is, for he is not even technically inside the city at the moment.

He is on the tower of Galata, watching over the city with the local Genoese governor of Galata having a bit of drink together.

A messenger ran up the tower, made a few whispers of Latin beside the governor's ears, then bowed towards the two and went away.

The Genoese governor raised his cup and made a smile towards George Sphrantzes. "It seems like the coup of yours is progressing pretty well."
