Chapter 247: CCXLVII. I Will Run for Election
On the first day of the new year, it was inappropriate to go to someone else’s house for a meal. In developed areas, this sentiment might be lighter, but in regions with poor grain harvests and backward livestock, people would see you as a freeloader.
However, the Black Sail Group didn’t care about such things and had Tani stay for lunch.
Tani, of course, also hinted at inviting Liszt over, and Liszt knew he couldn’t delay any longer. He had to finish all the preparations before tomorrow night’s banquet.

This was essentially marking territory.
In the inner and outer parts of the city, they investigated who was in charge.
