Chapter 192 -One: A Visitor is Coming
The Letter from Cyprus, though filled with official jargon, still troubled Komer with its contents.
Prince Hoffman, Princess Renta, and Tracy are to visit the Caucasus, and it’s in the near term?!

What does that mean? Are they not aware that the chaotic situation in the Leon Region had already impacted the entire Homer region?
The road from Bruce Fortress is closed. If they are to come, they can only come by sea, landing at Mattdam, and then travel by land to Ugru. But to sail boldly from Cyprus to Mattdam, are they not afraid of being held to ransom by the Nether Sea Pirates, or have they seen through to the fact that an agreement has already been reached with the pirates?
However, this was not the main reason for Komer’s troubles; it all came down to one person’s arrival—Tracy!
Thinking of this woman, Komer, who thought he could remain as tranquil as a mirror, found the depths of his mind still involuntarily trembling.
The joys and pains this woman brought him, like a torment of both ice and fire, strained what seemed like his strong heart. Although Komer was confident that he no longer held any illusions about this woman, the thought of confronting her again made his heart burn with discomfort, especially at the thought of Prince Hoffman, her fiancé, being by her side.
Weighing this heavy Letter, Komer found it difficult to make a decision.
Unfortunately, this was not a letter seeking advice, but simply a notification. For a noble of low rank, the visit of a prince and princess, as well as a county master, seemed an unparalleled honor, although Komer saw this honor even as an insult. However, this could not change the decision.
At least for now, Komer had to tolerate many things he disliked. The support of the kingdom was still quite necessary for him, especially now as the situation became increasingly unstable.
Sitting at the desk beneath the windowsill, Komer carefully folded the Letter and placed it on the desk. His mood had slowly returned to normal. While the sensation of first love is unforgettable, after experiencing many more startling and perilous events, such feelings gradually become blurred and muted. Of course, when one reopens that particular scar, the pain could be as profound as ever.
At this moment, his attention had gradually shifted to the question of why Prince Hoffman and his party had chosen this time to visit Caucasus.
The acrimonious relationship between the Central Kingdom and Duke Philip of the Homer region was a well-known fact. Hoffman was naturally aware that standing on the same front with Philip might garner the full support of the Homer region for him, but the side effects were also significant.
The kingdom’s nobles would not let such a phenomenon go unchecked, especially with a marriage alliance implying that a woman from the Philip Family might become the new mistress of the Romanov Dynasty, something they could not accept. Under these circumstances, the nobles would surely oppose this marriage firmly.
If they couldn’t thwart the marriage, perhaps they would turn their support to other royal successors.
As for Princess Renta, every time she seemed to appear was behind her elder brother Hoffman. Yet, according to the intelligence Komer received, Princess Renta was not born of the same mother as Hoffman. The reason behind the close relationship between two royal successors remained a mystery.
If only Hoffman and Renta were visiting, Komer might be able to deduce something from it. But Tracy’s presence made things more peculiar. Could there be some hidden machinations at play?
Thinking this, Komer couldn’t help but feel like sighing.
He had hoped to quietly get through a few months until matters in the Caucasus were settled. But now it seemed the wind wouldn’t stop for a tree that yearned for peace.
The situation in the Leon Region was deteriorating. The private armies of the Aristocratic Mine Owners were losing control, and maybe it was time for Philip’s army to step in. What then does Tracy’s arrival signify?
And there was Vero still here, this young girl seemed to be aware of some of the matters between himself and Tracy, digging deep for answers, looking to unearth something. Even Ilot and Puber were being hounded by her, afraid to slip up, yet unable to refuse her angelic presence, a torment indeed hard to endure.
Rebry and the other two waited patiently as their friend measured something on the wall. The measurer looked more like a thin and dry patient from an asylum—untidy, disheveled hair, a face that always seems exhausted, and clothes that are worn but relatively clean. Only his wide sleeves appeared in good condition, perhaps to hide things, which makes them particularly well-cared for in the eyes of a mage.
The gaunt mage’s drawing board was filled with various lines and text, but he still seemed unsatisfied, continuing to measure carefully with a strange triangle ruler in his hand.
This routine had been carried out several times, almost every two days. The mage skilled in the art of mechanisms would come to watch for half a day, then spend two days calculating in his room. After much effort, he would have a result, but upon his return, it seemed that some problems were overlooked, forcing him to measure again for a new round of calculations.
