In the Royal City of the Kingdom of Vriweth, there were three main authorities, nine divisions, and 24 bureaus. The core institutions among them were the three main agencies—the Regency, the Cabinet, and the General's mansion.The Regency was responsible for overseeing all officials throughout the countries. The Cabinet handled both major and minor government affairs of the kingdom. The General's mansion managed all military forces and directed the planning and execution of military operations.The Kingdom of Vriweth was a military-focused kingdom where stronger individuals held higher positions. However, the five ministers in the Cabinet were all civil officials.Eldorado appeared somewhat languid, reclining partially on the nine-dragon chair. His eyelids drooped as if he were asleep.Footsteps sounded outside the door. Soon, Clyfford, dressed in a purple-red robe, slowly entered along with an elderly man who was hunched over and walking with difficulty."Greetings, Your Majesty!

The Kingdom of Northwing was the Kingdom of Vriweth's vassal state.To show their loyalty, the Kingdom of Northwing sent countless treasures to the Royal City every year and even married a princess to a prince of the Kingdom of Vriweth.After lying dormant for over a decade, the Kingdom of Easteria was making a comeback with plans to annex the Kingdom of Northwing. By doing so, they would be able to advance into the territory of the Kingdom of Vriweth.Six months ago, Eldorado sent his commander, Zeno Schmidt, to lead the war in the Kingdom of Northwing. Unexpectedly, even Zeno faced consecutive defeats and was now even besieged.Zeno and the 300 thousand heavy cavalry were important, but even more crucial was the Kingdom of Northwing.At this moment, Clyfford spoke up, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Isaac? I suggest putting him to some use.""Go ahead.""Isaac has committed a grave crime, but his abilities are strong. We can send him to the northern part of the Bla

"Leander, go fetch the imperial doctor now." Skylar immediately stepped forward to support Isaac and turned to shout toward the room behind them.After Isaac was helped into a room, the imperial doctor examined his injuries, applied medicine, and then left.When Skylar entered the room with a set of new clothes, she saw that Isaac had already fallen into a deep sleep on the bed.Seeing his stubble-covered face and his frown in his sleep, Skylar couldn't help but stare at him in a daze. She wondered how many troubles he had gone through.Isaac woke up at midnight and felt much better. When he turned around, he saw new clothes placed on the table and two maids standing quietly by the door with their heads lowered.Seeing him wake up, two maids immediately stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Mr. Garten. Her Highness has instructed us to wait for you to wake up and assist you with bathing and dressing.""No need. I can do it myself." Isaac limped out of bed and walked over to the l

As a vassal state of the Kingdom of Vriweth, the people of the Kingdom of Northwing were taller. It had a different climate, environment, and food culture.However, the language and currency were the same as in the Kingdom of Vriweth.The attendant was completely stunned when he saw Isaac casually put down 100 taels.The economy of the Kingdom of Northwing was much weaker compared to the Kingdom of Vriweth. So, 100 taels of silver would take an attendant roughly two years to earn."Gentlemen, please follow me," the attendant said as he quickly headed toward the stairs.He brought Isaac and Hallie straight to the top floor of the tavern.As the snow fell heavily, the attendant came to the edge of the balcony, pointed to the right, and said loudly, "Gentlemen, just head in that direction. If you ride the Snow Beast, you'll reach the palace in less than half a day."But who are you looking for in the palace? I can inform you which division you should go to.""We're looking for you

Upon hearing Kyler's words, Isaac became anxious. He immediately grabbed Kyler and asked, "Where is Earl Beischel's mansion? Take me there right now!""Sir, this might not be a good idea. Earl Beischel is His Majesty's younger brother. It's quite late. Without the King's order, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to disturb Earl Beischel," Kyler said with a hint of fear.Isaac pondered for a moment before nodding. “Alright, take me to the tavern first.”Upon arriving at the tavern, Kyler left. Isaac then beckoned the attendant over.The tavern was located right on the main street outside the royal palace. Naturally, the attendant was well aware of the highly renowned Earl Beischel's mansion.Hallie arrived in front of the grand mansion at midnight, where four tall and sturdy guards stood at the entrance."Stop right there! Here is Earl Beischel's residence. Outsiders are not allowed near. Leave now!" the guards commanded, raising their spears to block Hallie's path as he approached
