It was a very stormy night. Senator Hinabi was in his room, reciting Scriptures from the Holy Canon, getting ready to go to sleep.
Throughout his quiet time, he had been hearing persistent knocks from his gate below. He wondered who it was for a while but ignored it so he could focus exclusively on his prayers.
After his prayers were done, he could still hear the persistent knock on the gate below.
He was hoping the person would just give up and come back the next day, but unfortunately, that would not be the case. He was currently very tired.
Work today had been hectic, as tackling economic affairs has been twice as difficult since the invasion. He and the other nobles assigned to the work of managing funds have had to micromanage all activities, as it was important for all the damaged areas to get rebuilt while everyday activities carried on.
