Chapter 89: Chapter 89: The Cruel Rules of Nobility

Louis raised his glass and shouted loudly, "Let the feast begin!"The square instantly boiled over.Burning braziers were lit at the four corners, and colorful lanterns were hung high.Musicians played on flutes and violins with a brisk rhythm, as young serving girls danced to the beat of the drum.The craft beer was foamy and rich, the aroma of Red Tide smoked fish was enticing, the roast lamb leg oozed with oil as it was carved, and the wild mushroom venison bone soup rolled with steam in a large pot.Soldiers raised their glasses in laughter, children chased and played.Standing at the edge of the high platform, Louis quietly watched it all.His gaze softened a bit.This land he once watched over silently was slowly becoming prosperous.Those trusting eyes, those faces smiling with tears of joy.All of these stirred a faint warmth in Louis's heart.Of course, he wasn't without fatigue, after all, the greater the responsibility, the heavier the burden.But on nights like this, he still felt a sense of tangible achievement.Not the lofty vanity of nobility, but a more solid satisfaction.Louis gripped his wine glass and muttered softly, "Let's relax a bit tonight.".After the revelry, work had to continue the next day.Louis sat up from his bed and rubbed his temples.This was a familiar semi-underground dwelling, and even though he was now a Lord with vast lands, he still preferred to stay here.In his own domain, he slept peacefully.He stretched lazily and casually activated the "Daily Intelligence System," as a translucent screen appeared before him.[Daily Intelligence Update Complete][one: Signs of Eagle Claw Vine growth have been found near Eagle Rock at the eastern entrance of Qingfeng Canyon.
