I'm here to discuss the terms of your surrender

The moment I reached the edge of the camp, I already knew it wasn't going to be a good day. 

An interesting one, full of twists and surprises for sure, but not a good one. 

Not when just walking up to the edge of the camp was enough to force me to swallow an extremely sour pill. 

Our group of emissaries consisted of only three people, yours truly, Fay, and… 

And surprisingly, Claudy. 

In the few moments, it took me and Fay to move from the edge of the mercenary camp to where we wanted to intercept the imperial emissaries, Claudy somehow proved to not only be in the camp… but also to insist on joining us. 

'He might want to explain his situation to the princess in person,' I thought before ultimately just nodding my head and moving on from the topic before it could stall us for too long.
