The next morning, Lis changed his outfit and walked on the streets of Ice Peak City.
Lis had sent a servant to Ice Castle Palace in the morning to inform Hans that he would not be coming to the office due to other commitments that day.
After all, Financial Assistant Philip had been taken care of the day before, so the tasks assigned to him were effectively completed. The political maneuvering around Philip was now a matter between King Lukar and Duke Ward, which didn't concern Lis much.
Being the Royal Capital of the Dillon Kingdom, Ice Peak City, due to its unique geographical location, was not as bitterly cold in winter as other territories, and there was hardly any snow accumulation within the city.
