In the conference room of the Army headquarters building, a group of grim-faced people sat in a tense poise.
The curtains were all drawn, and a soundproofing barrier enveloped the entire room, with sentries posted every three steps and guards every five.
What was incomprehensible was that, despite the high-level security measures for the meeting, those seated were but mid- to lower-level military officers, the highest rank being a lieutenant colonel.
If one had even the slightest inkling about this meeting, all doubts would evaporate, followed by astonishment at the audacity of this group.
The sole focus of the meeting was on one objective, to assassinate Princess Minerva, Prince Charles, and the heir to the consortium, Roland, and to continue the expedition against the Duchy.
