The sailboat cohold slowly docked at the pier of Border Town

After the gangas lowered, the people on the shi+p began to walk down the ganghile carrying all kinds of bags For most of thee land, so they appeared to be somewhat at a loss by what they saw, but the sailors behind theard their uneasy feelings

When the crowd began to push forward, a ed woman’s foot accidentally slipped Her body becaway However, another woed wo her fall

“Thank… thank you,” the rescued wo her lingering fear as she said thank you several times

The other wo that a thank you wasn’t necessary

Standing on the pier and waiting for the arriving travelers was Ferlin Eltek he i woman was Irene, his beloved wife She wore a white dress, and her long hair was coiled up on top of her head; she always looked beautiful and refined

The knight was no longer able to suppress his excitement The an to quickly approach her, forcing the poor wo on to her away fro the shouts of the people around hi approached so unexpectedly, Irene becanized that it was Ferlin who had hugged her, she fell into his arms

“When I heard the news of the Duke’s defeat, I got really scared And when I later tried to ot the chance,” Irene ian to speak, “Fortunately, you are safe now”

“I was ieon of the Lord ‘s castle, and it was iuards to let you in,” Ferlin explained as he let go of his wife “Hoas your ti the last half month, was it okay?

“…” For a ive him an answer but then she quietly said, “I left the theater”

Ferlin i behind his wife’s words During the tiht in the Western Territories, only the Duke dared to lay his hands on her body However, when he had becoroup no longer had to hide their ht opportunity to assault her So if she had still gone to the theater to work, it would be the saer’s den

“That does not ot a job here, and the salary also isn’t low” Ferlin tried to coo home There, we can talk in peace”

“Home?” Irene was clearly surprised, “We do not have to live separately?”

Usually, the prisoners eren’t killed during the fight and eren’t bought free were mostly used as coolies These prisoners were packed in bunches and had to live in tents or barracks, laying on the ground which was only covered with straw At the same time, the families of such prisoners weren’t treated any better The women had to live in special ca the time the men worked, the women had to clean up the men’s homes and wash their laundry

Thinking of this, Ferlin got a war Stronghold, Irene at least had her own spacious room with a comfortable and soft bed Yet, she still chose to coh she knew that she had to live with other women in a small house or tent and would have to do forced labor every day she didn’t flinch

“I ae and with the other he grabbed her hand They walked side by side in the direction of the “New Civilization” district, “As a teacher, I get my own house for free”

To tell the truth, when he had first heard the teachers’ treatment from the Prince, he hadn’t expected too ood Even if the rooh, it would still be a good living area after repairing it hi of this, the actual result was totally unexpected for hined houses for the teachers would be so… regular

Entering the new district, the streets suddenly becoravel The stones on the ground were s while, their feet wouldn’t hurt At first, Ferlin didn’t understand the reason for all of this; this was clearly a waste of manpower and the masons’ time He didn’t understand the reason for it until he saw rainwater flowing along the gaps in the stones sinking into the ground on a day with heavy rain The rainwater was lead into drainage ditches on both sides of the road In Longsong Stronghold, every time when it rained, the streets became muddy and were covered with puddles, so the new streets in Border Toere many times better

Irene, as taking in her surroundings, showed a puzzled expression and asked, “Here all the houses seeht way?”
