Originally, Baron Haron was quite willing to concede some benefits, as that's the norm among nobility.
But recently, the cuts have become more painful, always like slicing flesh.
Even Baron Haron couldn't bear the continuous losses anymore.
Olaya patiently finished reading the letter, her delicate face showing a smile,
"I think this is a good thing. We must ransom this knight back in the name of the true Hawk Clan."
Olaya comforted Haron, saying, "Don't always think about how much others have gained; think about what we can gain."
"Since we've already chosen this path, we should be prepared to make such sacrifices."
"Perhaps, letting you use half of Eagle Ridge to gain back half of Eagle Ridge, would you be willing?"
Olaya asked.
Baron Haron took a deep breath, walked out of the study, stood by the window, gazing at the distant rolling hills.
"You're right, I shouldn't be too concerned with the immediate gains and losses."
