"Where is Minister Cornelius?"
"He's no longer the minister, and there's been no news of a new appointment. After Speaker Mayerhaus dissolved the Provisional Military Committee, Colonel Cornelius was likely sent home to retire." The swordsman standing in front of Winters shrugged, "Cornelius rose rapidly through a coup, which certainly made many people jealous. And he's not exactly likable. It's no surprise to me that Speaker Mayerhaus used him to calm public anger."
Winters pondered for a moment and asked his sparring partner, "Do you believe it?"
"Believe what?"
"Mayerhaus's promise."
"I..." The sparring swordsman fell silent and after a while, he said frustratingly, "I don't know either. Given the current situation, if I were a United Provincial, I could only hope that Speaker Mayerhaus would return the power to the state, right? After all, he did make a public commitment."
Upon hearing this, Winters sighed deeply, "Then we'll keep watching."
