Chapter 548 – Uncle

Krais was practically living under a mountain of work. He knew this hectic period would persist for some time and had a rough idea of what lay ahead. For instance: “Could I get by with just six more months of putting up with Aspen?”

If left unchecked, their relationship would likely stagnate indefinitely like an uneasy truce between strangers.

But Krais had already put measures in place to ease that tension. Things might not go as planned. So what? If nobody ends up dead, he figured it was worth trying.

The only real variables were the potential invasion of another country or a breach at the boundary of the Demonic Realm.

“But those are beyond my control.” The border near the Demonic Realm was something he couldn’t address even if he worried about it.

As for foreign invasion, Krang had already made his move. How effective Krang’s plan would be remained uncertain, but other nations would likely bide their time and observe for now.

Naurillia and Aspen had chosen to join forces instead of setting the continent ablaze.

“War? What war? We’ve reconciled!”

That’s essentially the message they sent to the entire continent. Handing over half of Green Pearl territory symbolized this union.

Furthermore, Border Guard had already proven its strength. While only a select few understood the full implications of Aspen losing all its knights, those who did grasped what it signified.
