Chapter 171: IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Rose was the epitome of a pretentious person. She spent the rest of her time, with the people, talked to them and gave them small gifts. Whether it was from her jewelry collection or simply a flower that she picked.
She would stay with children to tell them exciting story, where the children’s parents would come and sit around only to listen to her story.
What she did was good to distract them from the hunger, since the food supplies were running out so quickly and people from the other city still came to ask for their share.
However, story and kindness couldn’t be eaten and they needed something real to eat. Something that could stop the growling in their stomach.
The winter had come to end and at the very least, they needed to wait until a month, before ships from the other continent could dock in their port and their money could be useful to buy food.
Yet, today, they received a bitter news that the supplies from Khaos’s ship would only last for three days. After that, there was nothing else they could eat. They couldn’t hunt, since animal couldn’t live in this continent.
And as a shifter, they needed meat more than anything else.
People became restless. Rose’s story was no longer helpful. They wanted to be fed with food, not only story that couldn’t distract their aching stomach.
"Your majesty, have you found out where alpha Khaos and alpha Rhett are?" Rose asked Dacre. He had his back against her and his broad shoulders looked tensed. Rose had this urge to massage his shoulders, but she was afraid that he would reject her again.
The last rejection was a humiliation for her.
"No." The answer was curt. He crumpled the parchment in his hand. There was must be a bad news from the report he received, but Rose didn’t have any idea what was that about, which caused the king was very riled up like this.
