Negotiation Day@@@@


    The Belmore Kingdom’s delegation crossed the Empire’s border and entered Barheim.


    A convoy of black vehicles moved in a line, with Major General Magref seated in the central car. His displeasure was evident as he remarked,


    “No one said I’d get a warm welcome, but this... feels excessive. Not a single official to receive the delegation?”


    From the entrance of Barheim to their current location near the city center, the person in charge of the city had yet to appear.


    The cold reception felt like an unspoken message— ‘If you’ve come to negotiate, then negotiate and leave.’


    ‘But there’s no room for complaint.’


    “We will be conducting a brief inspection. Before you proceed to the negotiation site, we must verify your identities one final time. Please present your passports, diplomatic credentials, orders, or letters of appointment.”


    The aide seated beside Magref bristled with indignation.


    “What is the meaning of this!? We already passed an identity check at the city entrance, and your superiors granted us clearance! Are you trying to humiliate us!?”


    Though visibly sweating under the aide’s fury, the Imperial officer did not retreat.


    Watching the exchange, Magref exhaled a low sigh and pulled out his passport and identification.


    “Stand down. We are at war. It’s only natural they exercise caution with security procedures. There’s no need to lose your temper.”


    Along with his identification, Magref retrieved his official orders from his coat and handed them over.
