After returning to Hesse Territory, Su Li's life became leisurely and serene.
The tumult of war finally came to a halt, and the familiar castle and manor offered him a sense of calm belonging. He temporarily cast aside the complex aftermath of the new territory and those intangible wealth, which were challenges Oliver needed to face.
For the next several cycles, Su Li's life rhythm became very gentle. He no longer needed to be constantly on edge, dealing with the uncertainties at the frontline. Most of the time, he stayed at his own manor or Ingrid's treehouse. In the morning, as sunlight slanted through the tall windows, he would open the heavy wooden windows, let the cool air flow in, and stand quietly for a while, overlooking the slowly awakening territory. The contour of fields in the distance, the servants' orderly movements in the nearby courtyard, all revealed a sense of stability.
