Before entering the town, I removed my earring and put on my blindfold to hide my golden eyes. I'm already far away from the confines of the Hedal Kingdom, I think it's safe to say that I'm safe here. Some mercenaries may recognize me and try to capture me or kill me for the bounty placed on my head, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. As long as Hedal Kingdom's authority has no power over here, which it doesn't, I'm fine.
The Sosite Dukedom is in a nutshell, the Switzerland of the far western nations in the Alumis continent. The Hedal and Venid kingdoms have been at war for many, many generations, and Sosite funds both of their war efforts to ensure a neutral position and not get caught up in the war. Sosite is really rich despite only being a dukedom compared to the two kingdoms.
