An Imperial Meister

"Welcome, my son!" A burly man roared in joy as he pulled Krune into a bear hug, cackling as he faced all the guests seated in the room. "Everyone, this is my pride, Liu Heng!"

"So, that's Young Master Liu!" Someone from the audience stood up and cupped his fists, taking a second glance at Krune. 

With a casual sweep, Krune noticed that the seated people consisted of many dignitaries from the Iron Peach County. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't just them that had arrived, but they had also brought in their respective daughters. 

It was apparent as to what they hoped for. 

It was a prospective marriage.

After all, Krune had displayed exemplary performance in the County Academy. So, everyone of respect had already heard about him. They wished to rope such an individual into their fold.
