Synopsis

Viscount Conrad apologizes to farmers he had previously harassed and pledges to leave them alone, with the farmers expressing gratitude and promising their support. Roman Dmitri then organizes a swordsmanship competition with substantial rewards, including wish fulfillment for winners. This action is intended to expose the weakness of other nobles. Meanwhile, the Northeastern Alliance tries to leverage their central government connections to undermine the Dmitri family, but their efforts are rejected due to the Dmitri family's influence and political connections, leaving the alliance in disarray.
