It's up to the leader to show the meaning of a hard work

Finding out what room we wanted to take for ourselves was quite exhausting yet fulfilling at the same time. Yet, as much as I would want to just focus on fixing its state and introducing some basic improvements… 

I was the lord of all my time no longer. And if I wanted to keep the cohesion of my faction, I had to ensure everyone could see me working harder than they would ever do themselves. 

  'I will be able to get it easier after a few days… but the first few of them are crucial,' I thought, forcing myself to stand up from the sofa while prompting my dearest along. 

"We need to go back," I said in a small voice. 

Seeing Mia's peaceful face when I cuddled her on my lap… Doing anything that could harm this image of peace and happiness that Mia represented for me could only be called heresy. 

Yet, it was a heresy I had no other choice but to commit.
