Palermo looked hesitantly at the long procession approaching from afar, and the horse-drawn carriage in the middle of the lineup, bearing the grinning Bear Head Emblem, was quite conspicuous. Without a doubt, that was the distinctive clan emblem of the lone and unique Caucasus Lord, a way, perhaps, to publicly sever ties with his kin in Cyprus City.
Recalling the warnings Princess Katya had given him, Palermo grew apprehensive, "This fellow may seem inconspicuous now, but he is certainly not a common person. I cannot predict what he will do in the future, but whatever he does, it will surely be astonishing." This was Princess Katya's prediction about the Caucasus Lord, and while Palermo was not fascinated by politics, his business could not do without it. Since he could not separate himself from politics, he had to take the initiative politically, for only then could he convert his investments into profits with the greatest probability. This was Palermo's creed.
