Chapter 32: The Golden Chain Tying the Dog
The sky had just begun to lighten.
Romon stepped out of the castle, originally intending to meet with Talia to discuss the "Taming" spell.
But as soon as Talia saw him, she began to relay the task from yesterday.
"Lord Romon, I have a friend from Stone Town who wants to settle in your Thune territory!"
Yesterday, Romon had asked her to work on a specific task, and she had done it without hesitation.
"Very well. What does she do? I'll grant some special privileges as promised."
"She's my best friend. She used to work on a ranch near Stone Town."
"A ranch? That's convenient. I'll free up some land in a few days."
Once the bloodthirsty wolf pack was completely tamed, the vast plains would be cleared, and they'd be in need of some farmers and shepherds.
Romon's original intention in asking Talia to recruit was to bring more muscle to Thune territory.
However, it was clear that after the Nightingale Lord declared war, any mercenaries with some power would understand the difference in strength between both sides.
