章 1236: A Talk With Grandpa

-----

There wasn't anything to celebrate other than our return, but that seemed to be already a big deal for the people of Agartha. Mother was their Duchess after all, so they were immensely happy to see their leader and guardian finally back. Compared to other places, the relationship that the governing family had with the commoners was much different here in Agartha.

We constantly interacted with people all the time, every day. They knew we were here protecting and helping them every day, and therefore, held a great amount of respect for all of us. When they saw Faylen coming back, they didn't saw her as just their governor, someone that just asked for taxes and only made their already hard lives difficult.

No, they saw her as their protector, their friend, and their leader. I suppose her reputation as the Saintess also helps a lot, right? Yeah, I should guess that's a big part of her respect.
