Arguing held no meaning as the master of the house always has the final say, no matter how difficult the faces of the Northland nobles looked, the army was still held outside the city.
In fact, the real reason for the conflict wasn't whether the army should stay outside the city, but ingrained mutual contempt.
On the surface, the Northern aristocracy disdains the Southern aristocracy's hypocrisy; the Southern aristocracy disdains the Northern aristocracy's arrogance of the Lord of the Dawn being the leader, and considering themselves as the second in command.
The core of the issue, however, is a dispute over the kingdom's interests. In the eyes of the Northern aristocracy, they defend the frontier against Orc invasions, have illustrious military merits, and have made the greatest sacrifices, so they should receive more benefits.
