Southeastern Province, Governor's Mansion.
Since learning that the Koslow Family's strategic focus had shifted eastward, Governor Piers had become much more relaxed, finding his meals twice as delicious and his sleep doubly sweet.
The sporadic skirmishes between two clans that used to take place in secret had also ceased recently. When a problem arose, everyone would discuss and solve it together.
For a time, the security of the Southeastern Province was better than ever before. Notorious mountain thieves and bandits seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Governor Piers asked, as was his routine.
Keeping an eye on Hudson's every move had become a part of his life. A habit that had lasted for several years was obviously not going to change overnight.
