The crossing of such a large force had initially given Ivita a great headache, as it bore with it considerable risk.
They even intended to host a banquet in his own castle.
However, a turning point occurred when Councillor Ando suddenly approached him, stating that they had initially planned to use his castle to entertain the mayor of the Thirteen Mountain States. But in a surprising turn of events, the mayor decided to travel straight to Parviga.
This news left Ivita heaving a sigh of relief, albeit unwillingly so.
Because the mayor of the Thirteen Mountain States remained within his heavily guarded carriage throughout the journey, Ivita hadn't had the chance to catch even a glimpse of him.
Perhaps the mayor didn't deem it significant to meet with a Baron, so Ivita only had the opportunity to meet with the soldiers of the Thirteen Mountain States' troops.
Similarly, the commander of the Potzstan Kingdom's troops also chose to pass through directly, requiring no hospitality.
