In a territory south of Noskain...
In this place that was one of the richest in the kingdom, the Touma family had one of the areas that generated the most returns.
Right there was the territory of influence of the family's prodigy, the son of the First Elder, Riei Touma. He was the most promising candidate of the younger generation for the leadership position in the family.
As such, he had this territory to do business on behalf of the family, from which he drew an annual profit of 10,000 gold coins, something impressive in the entire kingdom.
Only young prodigies from Noskain's biggest families could compete with him in terms of annual profits, and only members of the royalty easily exceeded his figures.
But recently, one of his relatives was threatening the order of things, and right now, Riei was on his estate with some local allies.
