Another Round of Negotiations

Now that we were able to gain one supporter, things were looking up… or at least that was what I wanted to say. There was an uproar about Lilith joining the political race so late into the game, and most believed that she was only joining to look for Arlo. They deemed her reasoning to be too shallow, and that Lilith posed a risk to the Nachodian kingdom.

What a load of shit.

Naturally, this was stressing Lilith out. She already made guest appearances at numerous government-owned facilities and made donations, but none of it was working. It had been two weeks since we came here, but it only seemed like everything was falling apart.

And what was I doing all this time? Training of course. Since Lilith was the face of the campaign, I only needed to show up when I absolutely needed to… which also backfired. People thought I was either a trophy husband or just a person who was being used to validate Lilith's run for the throne. What a pain.
