Chapter 353
Fabian Lacor didn’t like being dressed down like a child by a foreign noble, but he put on his best contrite expression and begged for forgiveness, which seemed to work when combined with his Talent to slink into the metaphorical shadows.
The lordling left after he promised to get the magical rods distributed to the hospitals by the end of the day.
Fabian noted two things.
The first was just how quick the lordling was to notice the issue, but only when he was on the world.
The second was that despite the warning there would be a second check up to ensure he did as he promised, there was no check up.
Fabian could work with this. Some plans would need shifting and adjusting, but he could most certainly work with this.

Tara Felgrave, President of the Vimar Republic, stared off into the distance, seeing beyond her office’s walls and to her country beyond. She had been doing a lot of that recently, but she still wasn’t sure what to do, and the proposal on her desk on how the Empire intended to switch her people’s currency to the ‘credit’ had only derailed her thoughts further.
Part of her hadn’t really expected to survive this long. She had expected to be killed or locked away, which at her age would have amounted to the same thing, to make room for the new order that was seemingly more and more inevitable as time passed. Except instead, they sent her a message through Councilor Samuel that they would help fund her efforts.
