After conversing with his son, Yug turned to leave and returned to his own quarters.

He instructed his servants to guard the door and turn away any guests. Then he activated a magic crystal used for sending messages.

“The aristocrats and merchants may engage in battle very soon.”

“What role will the Yug family play in this?” a young female voice asked.

“Even if I want to retreat, I don’t think it’s possible.”

“Yes, that’s true. So, what do you plan to do?” The voice grew intense.

Marquis Yug sighed and said, “I’ll go with the flow. I just have two principles that I’m keeping in mind. Firstly, I will not oppose His Majesty. Secondly, I will try to reduce the damage done to the Yugs.”

“Things will not be that simple.”

“I know, but there is a limit to what I can do.” Marquis Yug was silent for a while before saying, “Can I ask a favor of you?”

“Speak.”

“My eldest son Antonio is deeply obsessed with the Noble Lady. If I die, he will use his position in the family to bring the entire family to her side. That is too dangerous, and I cannot accept it, but I cannot take any action myself… Can I trouble you to bring him to your side so that he cannot be found?”

On the other side of the crystal, there was a long period of silence before a reply came.

“Alright, don’t worry about it.”

Marquis Yug then relaxed, or at least he did on the surface. After this exchange, he appeared much more stable and relaxed and summoned all the servants in the household to assign roles.

Under his command, the Yug family was like a giant waking up from slumber, slowly stretching and rising up.

Following closely behind, the Gordon family also made similar preparations. The two of them came together to rule fourteen earls, or half of the Commonwealth.

One could say that the entire Commonwealth was really going to take action now.

…

The Republic of Northwest, Pyrotech City.

The leader of Pyrotech City, Great Governor Asner, slowly extinguished the glowing magic crystal and thought hard. In this surname plan, a few people had chosen to not adopt a surname, and Asner was one of them.

Of course, as a Legendary Master, her name was more important than any random surname. As long as one mentioned the name Asner, one did not need a surname to understand the reference. After a thousand years, those who had attained slight glory would probably be forgotten, but her name would still be alive and triumphant. This was why she was a Legendary Master; she could outlive “family” and “country” in reputation!

However, to Asner, the reason behind not choosing a surname did not stem from her own current status but was because of something else.

After thinking for a while, she rubbed the unassuming ring that she wore on her left hand. A magical glow was emitted, a light blue flash of light. If this ring was paired with a similar ring, it could be used as a satellite point for communication or send messages during emergencies and was extremely useful. People discovered their value after the rings became popularized as wedding rings. According to calculations, its biggest use was in being a surveillance tool to prevent spouses from cheating on each other. Of course, Asner did not care for this feature. However, it was still useful nevertheless, and she could use it anytime to communicate with her husband given her level of magic ability. Her minor occupation was a magician, and so using magic was not foreign to her at all.
