"Peter, how do you like this small courtyard?" Camden Jones led Peter Brown to a small courtyard just outside the prefectural city, smiling as he asked.

Peter looked at the courtyard and was very pleased. Not only was it quiet, but it also had its own unique Heaven and Earth. It wasn’t just suitable for him alone—several families could live there without any problems.

"It’s too big."

"Heh, this is on the County Princess’s orders. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. Not only did you save the County Princess, you saved our lives too. Consider it a token of my gratitude, brother. Let us get closer in the future."

"Then thank you, brother. I’ll treat you to a meal and some wine."

"Heh, I can’t today. I just got back, and there’s too much to do. Let’s do it another day."

A thought struck Peter, and he said, "Brother, I wonder where our Honorable Magistrate will be staying. I’d like to pay him a visit."

Upon hearing this, Camden’s face revealed an indescribable sentiment as he said, "Little brother, it’s not that I don’t want to remind you, but it’s better if you stay away from that man. You belong to the County Princess."

Peter was nobody’s fool. He had seen too much, and he understood the implication immediately. He guessed that the Mansion wasn’t peaceful, so he nodded vigorously and said, "After all, he is my former Superior. I should pay him a visit."

Camden smiled and said, "It’s good to see someone who values relationships like you do, little brother."

After Camden left, Peter stood there, lost in thought. From Camden’s words, he had gleaned many things. The battle for power within the County Governor’s Mansion seemed fierce. Perhaps there was an inside story to the County Princess’s ambush. It was said that the daughter of the County Magistrate was the County Governor’s concubine, which suggested that the concubine and the County Princess were not on the same side.
