Chapter 78: Fenrir and the Earl
The next day, at a mountain villa in Helenburg, Leon sat at a square table and turned his head to gaze out the window.
He saw a broad river.
In the distance, the estuary was faintly visible.
One sailboat after another traveled back and forth across the river surface reflecting the setting sun.
The Holden River was one of the busiest waterways for imperial shipping.
River Valley County and South Harbor County lay on the river’s southern and northern banks respectively, both having built prosperous port cities along its course.
Bishop Becket had arranged for him to meet with the Earl, with the location set in Helenburg of River Valley County.
The journey had lasted a full six hours.
He had gone from carriage to ferry, then back to carriage.
