Chapter 106 - Abolishing The Councilmen

The very same day after meeting up with Moriyana and Serena, Haruki had arranged a meeting with the councilmen to finish tying up some loose ends. Sitting across them on the round table, he glanced around and noticed the concern conveyed through their strained expressions. The current state of the duchy was no secret, and thus their worried looks weren't that hard for him to decipher.
