only by venturing deeper into remote and perilous regions might new discoveries be made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even if a new island is found, whether it holds valuable treasures remains uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is precisely why maritime adventurers have nearly vanished to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, however, in a tavern in Iron Wolf City, a middle-aged man claiming to be a maritime adventurer declared he had obtained a treasure map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It records the location of a treasure in the open sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The value of this treasure is no less than three thousand gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seeks patrons to fund his treasure-hunting expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As compensation, he will take only two-tenths of the treasure;

the Hernald family still arranged for its heirs to visit Violet Castle with young nobles from other houses, hoping to match Catherine with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catherine, bound by family courtesy, could not refuse too coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, under the escort of Catherine’s Hernald cousins, several heirs from other families arrived at Violet Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And upon seeing Catherine’s beauty, they immediately launched frantic courtships, presenting her with numerous gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catherine found this extremely distressing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Information Six: The orc raids along the Northern Frontier continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet prolonged small-scale attacks have lulled the Kingdom’s nobles and Northern Legion into complacency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They mistakenly believe this year’s orc incursions will remain limited to minor raids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they do not know: the orcs’ recent raids were merely probes of the defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, the Beastmen have assembled tens of thousands of elite troops and marched south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means the Northern unrest this year is inevitable—a full-scale Kingdom war is about to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Ding!
