Besides conducting a few small experiments with his spoils, Allen checked on his fief on the Calradia Continent as soon as he woke up. After all, it brought in several thousand denars a month. With the war between Swadia and the Rhodoks over, the border between the two kingdoms had gradually settled down, and trade had promptly begun to recover.
Wincord Castle overlooked a river, so its tax revenue had also gradually risen during this period.

There were some drawbacks, however. Allen needed to open the Simulator from time to time and check his fief for problems, especially wars between kingdoms. If an enemy wanted to attack Uxkhal, a castle like Wincord Castle would inevitably be among the first places besieged by its main army.

Of course, their meeting this time had been perfectly cordial. Still, it made Allen wonder whether, if he ran enough simulations and secured a place in every kingdom, he
