Wushan Castle had been bustling with activity recently. Nobles of all ranks from across the Wushan Territory had arrived one after another, including even Count Ossen Hyde, who had just celebrated his seventieth birthday.
However, the arriving nobles were all in a somber mood, a far cry from the usual smiling faces seen at banquets and celebrations. Upon entering the castle, they either clamored to see Lord Lurans or demanded to visit Wiggin's room to check on his injuries.
But Lurans had already announced that Wiggin had just woken up and was recovering, so it was not a good time for visitors. He promised to arrange a meeting in a couple of days.
At first, some people doubted the truth of this statement, worrying that the Marquis might be unwilling to announce Wiggin's death for some reason.
