Foiled From the Start

The day saw Ezra get up with a smile, and he wasn't the only one, for yesterday was splendid for many.

His vassals were given two rooms, one for the boys, another for the girls.

He obtained items that would increase the efficiency and effectiveness of his plans, from maps, to formation scrolls, and herbs for body strengthening.

His vassals picked out weapons of the best quality for themselves.

Then they sifted through multiple refined bloodlines, picking high quality ones as well.

Lastly, he hired B-rank adventurers as mentors for them. They would arrive in two to four days.

Combining the resources he had on hand, the vassals would be groomed into monsters, he couldn't wait.

The best part? It was technically free.

Bolton on the other hand, was having a very bad day.

Kogar sat facing him. He had arrived in Kingsmere forty-five minutes ago.

Both their faces couldn't be any darker as they conversed.
