Yesterday at this time, the Governor Mansion was bustling with activity as everyone was busy packing their personal belongings for evacuation.
But now, the belongings had been packed, and the Governor Mansion was eerily quiet.
Li Hui sat in the main seat, expressionlessly looking at the newspaper in his hands. The news about various nations issuing declarations against Yu Country had been published. Although it occupied only an insignificant, tofu-block-sized space on the paper, it seemed incredibly important to the Yu Country people who truly cared about current affairs.
Officials from the Governor Mansion and Assistant Officers brought by Prince Yue also sat in the hall, either pretending to look at the newspapers or aimlessly writing something on paper.
Everyone's real attention was focused on the grandfather clock against the wall.
DONG, DONG, DONG—
As the hands moved to the top, a muted chime echoed from the clock.
