THE POLITICIAN

Liam’s POV:

Paxton Guttenberg was a career politician. He had chosen this profession when he was still a teenager and ran for class president for the first time. The political climate caught his eye and he decided he would live for it.

Guttenberg was still young, newly married to the daughter of the governor of the province of Croftvalley, where the royal family spent their winters. It looked like a match made in heaven: he, with his political will to change the world and growing popularity; she, the daughter of a traditional governor whom Guttenberg could succeed in the future.

The couple appeared frequently on political news throughout Tresoria. The "Paxton Way" of governing was becoming popular as it fostered rapid growth in a place that was almost unknown except for harboring the leisure corner of royalty at its heart.

The province was growing rapidly, with new businesses expanding and an economy growing in what was almost like a virtuous cycle.
