Gerard Mitchell has been in Maplestone City for almost half a month.
In the beginning, Mr. Old Mitchell could still experience some novelty.
He accompanied his wife to visit the church, watch plays at the theater, and tour the scenery along the Anya River, making up for many regrets of his youth.
However, as the days went by, this way of life made Gerard Mitchell increasingly uncomfortable.
He couldn't quite pinpoint what was wrong, but he just felt uneasy all over.
He even hoped that the Free Men's Assembly could be convened earlier, so he could go home sooner.
In contrast, other members of the Mitchell's were more adapted to life in the provincial capital than he was:
Scarlett, stepping into a "big city" for the first time, was curious about everything and wandered around the city every day;
Amelie Mitchell was also a bit unaccustomed, but the company of her newlywed husband clearly made her happier;
Ellen Mitchell was the least of their worries.
