A few days later, Highgarden City, banquet hall.
Pretty much all the remaining living nobles from across the Southern Territory gathered together, watching the heir presenting his plans up front. Their expressions were pretty weird, but they didn't dare object at all. Today in Highgarden City, they'd seen quite a few of those special troops who'd helped them solve all those War God Church problems a few days ago.
Just when everyone thought that after finishing these formalities, everyone would agree and pledge their loyalty, this heir—who was ridiculously young—suddenly changed direction: "In order to help our Southern Territory quickly recover to its peak, to better deal with crises that might come up next, and to support us in quickly fulfilling our ancestors' wishes, I've decided to establish the Southern Territory Development and Trade Company... If any of you are interested, you can buy shares..."
???
Everyone couldn't help but look suspicious, their eyes full of caution.
