One week passed very fast and Kael got busy solidifying his territory.
As he was in his room thinking about using his 500sp he got from system by completing small quest, basically charity.
A knock at the door broke his thoughts. Gerald entered, carrying a ledger and a rolled-up map.
His steps were calm and deliberate, and his expression, as always.
"My lord," Gerald said, bowing slightly. "I bring the latest reports from our scouts and merchants. The situation beyond our borders continues to evolve."
Kael gestured to the chair opposite his desk. "Sit, Gerald. Let's go over it."
Gerald nodded, taking his seat.
He unrolled the map across the desk, marking key points with small weights to hold it in place.
Red markings dotted the territories surrounding Kael's barony, each representing areas recently reclaimed by the King's forces.
