The news of the Longjiu Family and the Paradise Sect signing a peace and cooperation memorandum quickly spread across the three cities of the Eastern Border.
For the residents of the City of Defense, this agreement had no impact; as a border city often forgotten, they had barely ever benefited from the Laurel Royal Family, and naturally held no affection or animosity towards Duke Longjiu, who had captured the Royal City. The public sentiment in Thistlefort, however, was quite clear—the Kingdom Army had once bullied their way through this city, and the wounds and hatred from just over a month ago had yet to dissipate. The Longjiu Family had beaten the Kingdom Army into disarray and actually enjoyed fairly good public opinion, with most people supporting the peace agreement.
As for Magnificent Castle… separated by a vast sea, the people there merely treated the matter as post-dinner conversation.
However, this did not mean everyone was indifferent.
