"The organization has decided that the Romani within the Empire will largely withdraw from the war zone. Naturally, the person in charge there will also be recalled. When that happens, the position will be yours."
"No, I'll stay here to handle communication between the organization and the Lord. My abilities aren't yet sufficient for more significant tasks."
An unexpected reply; Amanda had actually refused. One had to understand that a regional head was a high-ranking position with real power. Normally, she might not have attained it even with another ten years of hard work and accumulated merit.
The Elder, fearing Amanda didn't fully grasp the situation, continued to explain, "Hear me out. The main withdrawal is from the war zone. Several prosperous areas within the Empire unaffected by the war will remain untouched. Furthermore, after the war, the organization will restore its operations here. Once rebuilt, this region will be your solid backing."
