Wu Heng could not say much. A wager was something the two of them had agreed on in private. A loss was a loss.

He continued, "Was the letter delivered to the Association?"

"It was. When I arrived, they took it and left right away, heading for headquarters," Philippa said.

"Did the elder say anything?"

"He did. He praised me for being decisive in battle today and having strong awareness. He also included my performance in the report," Philippa said happily.

"Mm, you really did well today."

"Then why aren't you praising me?"

"What is there to praise? Being capable is your talent, something you were born with. Do you need anyone else's approval?" Wu Heng said solemnly.

Philippa froze. "Damn, you really know how to talk."

Not long after, Brittany came downstairs and said the bathwater was ready.

Philippa got up and went upstairs, and only then did the master and servant let out a sigh of relief.

Wu Heng followed her upstairs as well. "She'll only be interested for two days. Once the novelty wears off, she won't even remember this."

Brittany said, "We did lose, and we nearly affected your judgment. We accept it."

"Get some rest early. Don't overthink it."

"Thank you, Island Lord!" Brittany gave a slight bow.

Wu Heng returned to the room he had chosen, while the master and servant headed to the floor where they were staying.

Night fell, and they began to rest.

The next morning.

After arranging Skeleton Attendants for the Fifth Princess, she officially began taking over the entire city.

Wu Heng, meanwhile, went to the Association and spent the entire morning in a meeting led by Elder Tapani.

The main topics were reopening the port and making more detailed arrangements for city defense and Patrol Team duties.
