In the distant Crancia, the capital city of Solander.

In a room in the palace, Pullman and several companions sat by a warm fireplace, taking advantage of the rare leisure time in winter to get together.

"Time flies so fast. It feels like I haven't done anything this year and it's already gone by." Tolan, wearing a white robe, was leaning on the sofa with a lazy posture. He didn't look like the highest official of the Ministry of Education at all.

"Education is much easier now than before, because everyone knows the benefits of going to school." He recalled the past with emotion. Those villagers in the mountains were like stubborn stones, unyielding and giving this former bard a headache.

It is difficult to explain profound truths to people who are not well educated. They are timid, cunning, and do not believe in any promises.

"So how was it resolved?" Ms. Fowler, the Chief Justice, pushed her glasses and put on her coat.

"In the end, we didn't come up with any particularly good solutions. We just fulfilled our promises step by step, let the facts speak for themselves, and finally slowly gained their trust." Tolan propped up his head and looked at the charcoal fire burning quietly in the stove.

“People need education. It allows a person to think about many issues from a more rational, objective, and even lofty perspective.”

“This is actually a very meaningful thing.”

"After those students graduated, they would occasionally write to me. What made me happiest in the letters I received wasn't when someone made a fortune again, but when they told me about the touching and meaningful things they had encountered in their lives."

"And such students, even if they appear ordinary, will ultimately find their own peace and happiness, and live their lives with openness and understanding."

"You might think this is absurd, but after receiving a lot of feedback, this is what ultimately emerged. This is the most moving part of my role."

"The development of events finally told me, years later, that my actions back then were right. And I no longer have to wake up in the middle of the night, ashamed to think of my dead companions."

"Yes, time will eventually prove that this is the right path. Even if it is bumpy and makes people cry and feel heartbroken."

The room quieted down a bit, and everyone looked at the quietly burning fire and couldn't help but recall the past.

The past anxiety and restlessness have finally subsided, and now they are confident and determined, because time has given the answer.

"I do miss it a little." Pullman's abrupt voice rang out in the room, breaking the silence and making the people around him want to beat him up. Although this guy was the boss, they had no scruples.

"I also received a letter recently. It was from my tutor."

"Your Highness Loranhill?" Everyone thought of the lovely silver-haired girl and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Tell me quickly, what letter did His Highness write to you? Did he come to reprimand you because you've become fat and lazy in middle age?"

"Ahem, how is that possible? Could you please not bring this up and save my face?"

"Okay, okay, our leader, do you have any interesting or fresh ideas to share with us recently?" A cheerful laughter rang out in the room.

"Actually, the teacher wanted to talk to me about her early experiences. She said she was asleep at the time and regretted missing out on that difficult period, which left a lot of gaps, so she wanted to fill in the gaps."

"Oh, so that's what it is. It's actually quite easy to explain. For example, one year our leader got lost in the mountains and couldn't find the way out. In the end, he could only scream in the trees like a monkey, attracting the attention of the mountain people."

“Or maybe one day, I went to buy food with my companions, but I made a mistake and bought expensive seeds.”

"There was also a time when we were marching in the snow. Because I didn't sleep well, I ended up rolling down the mountain road and scared the little girl in the village."

"You can say all this, and I think the wise man would be happy to see such an accident, so that His Highness can fully understand how difficult it is for everyone." A certain bard began to talk nonsense.

"Ahem, be quiet, everyone, please be serious. We are all grown-ups, how can we act like children?" Pullman looked seriously at his companions.

"I think this is a very good educational topic that can promote..." followed by a series of righteous and stern clichés.

"So, in pursuit of truth, I feel it's necessary to let the wise man know the various little things about our great leader, Pullman, in the past. This way, we can present a person truthfully and convincingly. What do you think?"

"Agree."

“I think it makes sense.”

"Good idea."

“Excellent!”

Several idle senior executives of Clancy's company decided to kick Pullman out of the ranks of writers.

"We have reason to believe that Lord Pullman has more important work to accomplish." The reason was also impeccable.

"Okay then." Pullman sat down angrily.

"I just hope that after you finish writing it, you can show it to me. After all, I am the teacher's top student, so I have the right to know."

"Of course, we will make Lord Pullman believe that this is how you are in everyone's mind." Everyone talked and laughed, revealing some hidden emotions.

Perhaps only by recalling the difficult years in the past can we realize how hard it is to have everything we have today.

At the same time, our wise girl has finally arrived at her first destination.

Georgetown, Long Point Province.

The town, which had just been occupied by the rebellious people, now faced a severe test.
