A few days after the coronation celebration, Don continued to devote his energy to the economical and military prospects of the Kingdom.
Sitting in his room, there was a non-stop ticking sound outside the window as if it were raining. It was the sound of melting snow. When he was little, he loved crouching on the window and looking at the long ice icicles melting into transparent water droplets and slowly dripping down with Elena, his mentor, and his sister. At the moment, he neither had time nor Elena beside him to enjoy the weather. But it was still enjoyable to listen to the voice of the earth recovering while writing a plan.
He knew that soon the melted snow would be replaced with more snow. The roads connecting Emir, Agoria, and Ishikara were filled with snow makes traveling to either of those kingdoms extremely hard. Therefore, he decided to stay in Agoria waiting for Knight to return from dealing with the Lucroy family.
