I hurriedly comforted her:
"Sister, there's no need to worry, your promotion ceremony is surely just a matter of days.
And if everything goes smoothly, soon we'll receive a windfall, allowing you to take a big step forward after your Fifth Order promotion.
Just carefully observe the 'Impoverished Knights Order' stationed in the Iris Kingdom, and you'll surely find surprises."

"I just find it strange, though we've controlled the main spice-producing areas in the Bantaan Archipelago and have consistently supplied the direct lineage forces adequately.
Normally, everyone's progress varies and can't be so uniform.
It feels like this promotion is a bit too easy."
Byron, reminded by her, also realized that this large-scale promotion might not be explained solely by the increased Source Tide activity.
