Meanwhile,
At the North Prince Mansion.
After returning to the North Prince Mansion, Lu Chen did not rush to seek out his woman for a romantic rendezvous. Instead, he sat on the stone bench in the pavilion of the outer courtyard, earnestly examining the new map of the North Land recently drawn up by the Brocade Guard.
Since he intended to bring the entirety of the North Land under his domain, making it thoroughly his territory, it was certainly necessary to understand the extent of the North Land and its terrain.
Just then, a young maid with flushed cheeks entered the outer courtyard. "Prince, a white-haired elder has arrived at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion; he says he wishes to see you," she reported.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was momentarily taken aback.
"A white-haired elder? Is he alone?"
Under normal circumstances, Lu Chen, the Prince, was not someone whom just anyone could meet on a whim.
