This chapter's epigraph comes from a famous poem by the famous poet . In this poem, the poet says that he wishes that he were dead so that he could be buried with his soul. He also says that if he were still alive, he would like to be buried in the same place as his dead father. The poem is about to end when the poet realizes that the poem is not about him. It is about the new emperor of the Black Horn territory. The new emperor wants to auction off all the resources from the black alliance. The Black Horn territories are full of rich people, and the only way to get them is to sell them off to the highest bidder.
