****(POV)
This is the worst!
Where did everything go wrong?!
I have been in secluded cultivation for a while.
With my mistresses.
Upon coming out, I heard the news.
Eaglevein fell.
The entire continent is now tense.
My backing is gone.
I am nothing more than a powerless lord.
Anyone could replace me any time.
I need to protect myself!
I quickly call for my right hand!
The guy that takes care of things while I'm busy.
….?!
He's gone.
Or so tells me an uneasy guard.
He's been gone for a long time.
No one has been in charge of the city at all.
Our treasury almost got emptied.
The only reason there are still guards is the soul oaths.
Who knew it would become so handy!
It was just so they wouldn't backstab me.
None of them wanted to swear initially.
