Arlanda, whose identity had been exposed, remained under the Eternal Domain's surveillance system and was serving her sentence through penal labor.
During this time, Arlanda was very well-behaved, even proactively completing her work. Using her knowledge and expertise, she solved several cases of external intelligence infiltration into the Eternal Domain.
The Eternal Domain lacked such specialized officials. The fact that Arlanda had managed to pose as a peasant for so long highlighted how weak the Domain's defenses were in this regard. Granting Arlanda more responsibilities was also a reluctant move on Yan Xing's part. For the rapidly developing Eternal Domain, having someone responsible for addressing issues was certainly better than having no one.
