Chapter 307: You Dont Notice My Kindness? (1)
The Family War between Sefira and Bydent ended with the declaration of surrender by Jordic, the head of the Bydent family.
One week: for some, it was no more than a fleeting moment, but for the soldiers who fought on the battlefield with their lives on the line, it was the longest time of their lives.
The Sefira family went through an unprecedentedly hectic and chaotic period. Not only did they have to deal with the merger with Bydent, but unaffiliated external forces were also flocking in from all directions.
“Do not cut corners just because we don’t have much time or because things are difficult. Times like these demand even greater focus and caution.”
Hissop appeared on-site every single day without fail, supervising and urging everyone on. He worked to the point where he didn’t even notice his nose bleeding, that the vassals were actually begging him to take just one day off.
“This is a moment upon which the fate of the Sefira family rests. I cannot rest, for the ancestors who built this family, and for future generations as well.”
Hissop’s passion and conviction ended up persuading the vassals instead. Naturally, they too threw themselves into the work with renewed passion.
Though the pace was slow, both the merger and the absorption of outside forces were progressing without issue. If things continued this way, Sefira would unquestionably surpass the Browning family and rise as the strongest house in the kingdom.
And of course, the princes were not about to sit back and watch.
“Lord Hissop! Urgent news! The royal palace has dispatched an army. They intend to suppress Sefira on charges of treason!”
At Navakin’s report, Hissop bit his lip until blood drew.
“I clearly sent word that I would present myself at the palace in one month... and they won’t even wait that long?”
