"Life in the Border Prince's Territory is simply too difficult. Every day, I am overwhelmed with governance affairs and endless battles. The territory still hasn't found its footing, and the threat of dragons hangs over us like a sharp sword, ready to destroy our land at any moment. In such circumstances, how can I report peace to the family?"
These earnest words finally moved Knight Connor. He had some understanding of Hesse Territory's plight from Stern's letters.
Regarding what Su Li said about endless battles, Connor believed somewhat, but he didn't believe at all about the endless governance affairs. In those short three days, he had some insight into Young Master Suli's character, and through exchanges with Stern, he learned much about Young Master Suli's nightly carousal in Hesse Territory.
