Corps Commander Karlpeter Is Perplexed

As soon as the negotiations ended, Daniel returned to Headquarters and, as protocol required, reported to the corps commander.

During the process, the corps commander asked Daniel whether the negotiations had gone well. Daniel replied that he had done his best, but it was still too soon to predict the outcome.

After spending a day at the hotel the corps had provided, Daniel rose early the next morning and headed for its dining room.

He had come for breakfast. Apparently, the hotel's food was decent, because the dining room was bustling despite the early hour.

As he looked over the people eating and chatting, he saw that most were field-grade officers.

There were a few noncommissioned officers and company-grade officers as well, but not many.

That was because the corps allowed only its most important personnel to stay at the hotel.

Here and there, he heard them praising the food.

‘Well, compared to field rations, even food at a low-end hotel must taste like heaven…….’

It seemed extravagant, but being able to eat hotel food in the middle of a battlefield was quite a luxury...
