Returning home

Finally after a few more days of being stuck in the capital, I was finally given the chance to return.

The event that caught everyone's attention was…a monster wave.

This was a monster wave in the south, far away from my own territory, so it wouldn't bother me.

But for the other nobles, especially those that didn't have any territory at all, this was their chance.

As long as they performed some form of merit, they would have the chance to be awarded territory or other benefits.

And as for the higher rank nobles, they would be able to benefit as well since they had much stronger troops, so it wouldn't be as risky for them to send their troops to kill their monsters.

In short, it became a race to kill as many monsters as they could and reap as many benefits as they could.

So they all forgot about Zwein and the elves for now.
