A week passed, and the reply Riz was hoping for never arrived.
The Sidgean Empire remained indifferent, neither aligning with Barlia nor responding to Ryntum's offer.
It is a lie to say he's not anxious when other countries that decided to entangle with Barlia are making many moves lately.
He felt like something was brewing up behind the scenes and did not like it.
Riz asked for an update on this issue almost every day.
Today is the same.
Unfortunately, another update he got from his foreign ministry is also the same— still nothing from Sidgean.
Compared to his initial vision, Ryntum's progress in the north was painfully slow. Every step forward had to be taken with extreme caution.
If they're being reckless and stir the situation too much, they would risk provoking many sides.
This is not something he wants to see. If he wishes to light up the fuse, it must be done under his condition, in his ideal circumstances.
