Regarding the cabinet decision, Perfikot was naturally the first to learn about it.
"Such naïve thinking." Perfikot's evaluation wasn't high, and there was even a hint of sarcasm: "Wanting to compromise, yet looking for a way to save face without fulfilling my demands—how could they think things would go so smoothly?
If every good thing in this world was taken by them, how would others survive? And thinking of things so ideally, do they think they are the chosen ones?"
Such attempts by the cabinet to seemingly compromise but still save face received Perfikot's disdain.
In fact, anyone with keen insight knew what the real intention behind this decision was.
But this didn't stop Northern Faction members from feeling excited and thrilled, believing it symbolized their lord's further progress and thinking it indicated the Northern Faction would soon control the entire Empire.
The cabinet had compromised to the Count, and likewise to the Northern Faction.
