章節 110: Slow Progress

Urla Lavender rose from her seat with all eyes upon her, poised to deliver her long-awaited report. However, when she finally spoke, her words were few and lackluster.

The Lavender Marquisate had taken the lead in developing the eastern side of the Sabnock Plains, working alongside vassal nobles who contributed to the project. Initially, Lavender Marquisate hadn't been slated to receive any new lands; they had stayed neutral during the recent civil unrest, avoiding the conflicts that had shaken the kingdom. However, they had pledged substantial resources—funds, people, and supplies—to the development effort, and as a result, had been granted a portion of land on the eastern side of the plains.
