Yan Xing concluded his first formal meeting with Lady Karol, and the very next day, he urgently returned to his own Eternal Domain.
The duchy's confidence in regaining control over the Wildwind Highlands was not a good sign for the Eternal Domain.
Under various pressures, Count Theodore, who held Nuta City, had no choice but to make many concessions to Yan Xing.
The business of the Eternal Commerce Guild was booming, and the issuance of Grain Tickets by the Eternal Grain Bank went smoothly, largely due to the policies provided by Count Theodore.
If Nuta City were retaken by the duchy, Yan Xing's bargaining power would become very weak.
Look at what Lady Karol did... Even when arranging political marriages with foreign dignitaries, she would dispatch her spies, showing no sincerity at all. If she were to control Nuta City, the chances of future wars would be very high.
