Of course, this complex mood was built on a foundation of hatred and unwillingness.
The meeting was held in the newly constructed palace.
It was temporarily requisitioned by Prince Theodore; Torin could only move in after the Prince departed.
What followed was the incessant chatter of the nobles, bickering passive-aggressively, and even coming to blows over the distribution of the remaining profits.
Listening to the cheers of the nobles who had gained advantages, Torin's heart felt unusually calm.
However, beneath this calmness lay an anger suppressed to its absolute limit.
In fact, the 10% share allocated to Torin wasn't even his; it belonged to Princess Ava.
What Torin truly obtained was merely a requisitioned palace and the nominal title of Lord of Soaring Bird City.
Of course, from now on, when Torin entered Soaring Bird City, he would no longer suffer the indignity of being taxed.
As a noble of the kingdom, the necessary decorum had to be maintained.
