Upon returning from Bera City, Viscount Hudson promptly convened a meeting with all the nobles of the county.
Unsurprisingly, everyone flocked to express their greetings to Viscount West's entire family.
In the ensuing chaos, it was clear that people were truly infuriated.
Hudson even suspected that he would have been the target of vehement criticism if he hadn't been present.
The fickleness of people's hearts was indeed difficult to gauge. In situations like this, it was impossible for people not to direct their anger somewhere.
While it was Viscount West who had drawn the lot, many were still unwilling to accept the reality.
This inevitably led to questions and criticism: why hadn't Hudson drawn the lot? Why had it been left to that unfortunate West?
Hudson's difficulties were conveniently ignored by them. They couldn't expect every noble to be wise enough to understand the crux of the problem.
