"Lord Viscount probably won't be returning to the territory this year, Milady. His Majesty the King is holding a grand wedding this year; Lord Viscount must stay in the royal capital to assist with some work and attend the wedding."
The Raymond territory and the Black Dragon territory were the same; both were located at the remote, desolate borders of the Winchester Kingdom. This place was too far from the royal capital, and travel was incredibly arduous. Therefore, even in normal years, the time Viscount Herbert stayed in the territory was merely a few short months. If it weren't for Viscount Herbert's ambition to turn his territory into a bustling commercial hub, with some major matters requiring him, as the lord, to personally oversee and handle, Viscount Herbert also wouldn't toil away traveling between the two places every year like that.
