After the meeting concluded, the various groups dispersed, each retreating to their quarters to discuss the day's events and decide on their next steps. Among them, the delegation from the Kingdom of Arenthia was particularly restless. Known for their disciplined military and strategic acumen, the Arenthians had come prepared for war, only to find themselves in a state of limbo, waiting for a mysterious figure who might never appear.
The leader of the Arenthian delegation, General Alaric, was a seasoned warrior and a shrewd tactician. He had been chosen to lead this mission not only because of his combat prowess but also for his ability to navigate the complex politics of inter-kingdom alliances. As he paced the floor of his quarters, his frustration was palpable.
