Chapter 6: Broken Dream _2

The representatives, deeply dismayed, had already realized that the situation was beyond salvage when facing the protests and demonstrations of the local merchants and farmers outside the Archduke's Mansion. The richness and bustle of the Galle Region, along with the glories of Gutenberg, made it hard for them to leave, but they dared not stay in an environment so hostile, where they and their families were constantly under threats to their lives and property. This scenario was scarcely better than taking the risk of remaining in their homeland; they could only depart in gloom, hoping that they might find another way to resettle here in the future.

Komer could understand the torment of the three representatives. Anyone would wish for themselves and their families to live in a better environment, especially when they were suddenly facing a fall from a relatively good one into a desolate and notorious land. This stark contrast was truly difficult to accept.
