Chapter 981: The Naia River
She ended up eating a lot with Ferdinand, dining with her.
It always seems to be the case when she’s with Ferdinand.
Arabella has more appetite, and he also ensures she eats to her fill without getting distracted by work matters.
After their meal, they said their goodbyes, and Ferdinand returned to Degril, another territory heavily affected by the pest infestation and plant disease because it shared borders with Sibruh.
Ferdinand needed to listen to reports from knights and magicians who were on duty last night and make necessary adjustments for patrol and scheduling of shifts for today and the following days.
Meanwhile, Arabella did her usual morning routine and attended the Court Session.
After learning about the pest infestation and plant disease, the people in territories near the lockdown areas remained in a state of panic, despite assurances they had been given.
The household heads tried importing food and supplies from the nearby territories, but merchants had increased the prices so much.
Likewise, ruling households and merchants nearby were hesitating to sell their produce to another territory in fear that if the pest infestation or plant disease also reached them, they would be the ones left with a shortage of supply for their people.
Even in areas at least several five territories away from the lockdown areas, more people had been buying in bulk for all sorts of supplies in fear of the possibilities.
Thus, Arabella and Raymond also approved of sending necessary provisions there to help with the food shortage that was impacted by those who hoarded resources.
