Anning left Paris, but everything in Paris remained the same, unaffected.
Lafayette still struggled to maintain his position, facing impeachments from all sides.
The Constitutional Assembly was still endlessly arguing over the details of various bills.
The people of Paris were still worried about their livelihoods, the only relief being that because of two consecutive years of good harvests, the price of bread remained at a barely acceptable level for most people.
In the Conte Region, Anning was busy inspecting his own estate.
Previously, he had seized church land but hadn't had time to examine it carefully because he was too busy; he had just swallowed all the deeds whole.
Now that Anning had some free time, he took the deeds every day to inspect the land he had confiscated, only to find out that at least a third of the land around Conte had come into his hands.
These lands were so vast that Anning could ride on horseback all day and still be within his own boundaries.
