Chapter 154: THE SCHEMING COUPLES
"We can’t buy food supply from black market, my king and we can’t get the merchant to sell for us, because Great Lunar kingdom has them lobbied and only allowed to sell the food supply to them."
One of the warriors reported back to the king. Dacre was not happy with the news, he almost threw the cup in his hand to his head, but instead, he crushed it.
The sharp shard stabbed his palms and blood dripped from the wound.
"You can leave," Rose said to the warrior, as she went to tend the king’s wound. She could see the anger in Dacre’s eyes and she was also scared to approach him, but she steeled her heart and did what she had to do. "Don’t be too mad, my king. We will find a way out of it."
"How?!" Dacre snapped at Rose, which he immediately regretted it, but he didn’t say anything.
Rose had been thinking of a way out of this situation and somehow, she was impressed by alpha Khaos, how he turned the table around and made Dacre unable to retort, neither the king could get away from the trap that was so obvious.
Dacre set himself to fail once he agreed that he would take the responsibility to find another source of the food supply, since he was the king and Khaos made sure to emphasize that.
If they could find a way out from this, people would remember Dacre as the king, who saved their winter crisis, but if he failed, he would be a failure in their eyes.
"The ships." Rose took Dacre’s hand and wiped the blood from his palm gently. "We know the location of the ships and we can do something about it."
