The day after Minos and Oswald arrived...
Abby, Kendrick, and Sarah were dealing with a large number of relatives and people close to the imperial family wanting to meet the little prince and see the princess again.
Meanwhile, Ruth, Minos, and Gloria were working to solve local problems, updating themselves on the current situation on the Black Plain.
Currently, they have large reserves of crystals, agricultural production, and many allies on their side to manage and get the best out of every part. So as they returned to the core of their state after years away, they had a lot to worry about at this point.
Ruth was dealing with matters concerning the actions of the imperial government in the domains conquered by Minos after the absorption of Brown and Cromwell. At the same time, Gloria was dealing with Church affairs alongside her husband, who was leaving the core affairs of her state to one side for the moment.
