For Charleston Thorne, there aren't too many regrets.
If Rasco Shaw were still around, the position of governor wouldn't have much to do with him, and he might still be treading water.
Now Rasco Shaw has been forced out.
He's become the third in command, which is better than nothing.
Logically, after Charleston Thorne took over as the principal of the State Political School, he should have canceled the "Best Student" selection, since this so-called Best Student was Rasco Shaw's tool for using others to achieve his own ends.
After much deliberation, Charleston Thorne decided to carry out Rasco Shaw's decision at that time.
After all, Rasco Shaw's defeat at Harrow's Pass wasn't unrelated to him.
If he overturned Rasco Shaw's policy right after taking office, it might easily invite public criticism.
Doing so was also a way to clarify that his departure from Rasco Shaw was unrelated.
He could also gain a good reputation, so why not?
