Vol 2 Chapter 206: The End of Life in the Woods, Part 3
Upon arriving back in Scorchstone City, Mick looked around curiously. Although the buildings hadn't changed much overall, he had a feeling something was different about the place.
Sitting in a tavern, he ordered some food and ate with the goblin, occasionally listening to the conversations around them about recent events.
"Queen Mursa has issued a new decree. They say she's splitting the City Lord's power into three parts: one managing finances, one managing the military, and the last one handling administrative affairs."
"Sounds a bit complicated. Hard to say if it's good or bad, but these past few years, Regas has indeed improved quite a bit."
"The Anty people are in trouble now. Heard they're almost wiped out by the Frostwinter."
"Hahaha, serves them right! Hearing this news, I'm definitely having a good drink today."
Queen Mursa? Did Princess Mursa inherit the throne of Regas? But weren't there several older brothers and younger brothers ahead of her? Regas was a kingdom founded on martial prowess; there was no reason for a princess to inherit the throne.
Mick had been wandering abroad these past few years, rarely paying attention to Regas's situation. Most of his journey back had been by ship or traveling in the wilderness. It wasn't until today, returning to Scorchstone City, that he realized some drastic change seemed to have occurred in Regas over these five years.
