Although backed by Eldest Princess Annie, Perfikot's trust in O'Connor remained limited. After all, his tactics certainly did not endear him to her.
So in the end, O'Connor was thrown into the POW camp by Perfikot as well, though not as a prisoner of war, but as an administrator.
Perfikot's task for him was to manage and organize the groups of thugs detained, to have them build the POW camp themselves, and maintain its order.
This task was not difficult for someone like O'Connor, who was once a mercenary officer, it could only be considered cumbersome, not even bothersome.
Therefore, he accepted the task without any hesitation.
Of course, Perfikot did not intend to leave him in the POW camp forever, for she still needed O'Connor to provide security for the exploration team.
She made it clear to O'Connor that once he had completed the management of the POW camp without any problems, she would call for him to join when the exploration team set out.
