Two good things happened today. First, the perfect conclusion of trade with the merchant caravan left our funds much more abundant. If expenditures in the next quarter are normal, then we can also return to regular procurement and salary distribution next quarter.
The other matter is the lifting of the bounty.
As the Chief Governor who defected, Yila's bounty was rescinded by the Empire. Rumor has it that this was Isabella's doing, which seems to confirm the circulating rumors.
It seems that now both the Empire and other nations acknowledge that Yila's betrayal was done in collusion with the Empress—Yila Elkaras has become a blade wielded outside the Empire by Her Majesty.
"Yila... did you really betray? Or does Isabella want you to return? But she doesn't seem like someone who would back down."
