On the way to South Kingdom, the journey went smoothly for Matthew and everyone else. In fact, it was way beyond their
expectations. When the envoys arrived at the station of the Birch Pass, Luther, who was responsible for guarding the south
domain, personally led his soldiers to receive them.
"Your Highnesses, good day to you all. I'm Luther Lu." With thick and seemingly impenetrable armor, Luther looked like a mighty
general. The innocent face that he once had was nowhere to be seen. After strenuous training, he gave people the impression of
being steady and sophisticated.
Matthew lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Luther. The prince actually thought highly of the general. He got promoted
to this position solely because of his military prowess and didn't keep close relationships with the courtiers.
"You, are Luther?" Actually, a lot of people were surprised when the late emperor chose Luther to take over the south domain's
army. After all, he didn't attract much attention at the imperial court. If the late emperor hadn't suddenly promoted him as a
commander in chief, only a few people would have known his name.
"That's right, Your Highness. I am Luther, the commander in chief of the south domain's army," Luther plainly answered in a tone
that was neither humble nor rude. The army of the south domain had always been a headache for the imperial court. It was all

"Your Highness, in total, there are 200, 000 soldiers in the garrison. The troop of 100, 000 soldiers is directly under my
command. The other 100, 000 are being led by General Xu and General Wei." More than what Matthew was asking for, Luther

the former marquis Harrison had guarded the south domain for an awful lot of years. But the man used his influence over the people for their own selfish and avaricious gains. They robbed a lot of people's properties and assets. When everything that they owned was confiscated, all of the treasures almost filled half

As soon as Matthew and Harper entered the mansion, they noticed that the layout was very simple, other than the fact that the
estate was very large. With a slight change of the original layout, the magnificent mansion had become a simple and stunning
residence.
"You have good taste, General Luther," Harper praised.
"I'm flattered, Your Highness. I'm not particularly good at designs. It's just that I like it to be simple, so I tried my best to organize
the mansion in this way," Luther slowly replied with a small smile on his face.
"You're too modest, General. This place is indeed well arranged. Now I feel sorry as we'll have to trouble you in the following two
