It was getting late, and Ronan was sitting alone in a remote inn in the border area. Not far from where he was, there was a neutral area that brought the three kingdoms together.
He was now in Duke Pellington's territory. After wandering around the capital and finding no additional information, he went to the final rendezvous point, awaiting the arrival of William and an answer from King Hugo.
He could see a magnificent manor almost as large as the Nieverdell palace from his bedroom window. He could not contact the spies who had entered the manor.
According to the information he received, employees were only allowed to leave the manor once a week. It was only to meet the needs of Duke Pellington himself or his wives.
Ronan was playing with the sword in his hand. According to his estimate, William would arrive in a few moments. He had warned the man not to linger in the Southern royal palace. He wanted things to move quickly.
