Chapter 224
Leo Wanted Some Grape Juice As Well
And so I told Mr. Ekenhart about what happened before I returned from Range village. To be precise, what I talked to Mr. Hannes about while waiting for Phillip to arrive with the wagons.
It was a village that relied on its wine. But while it was doing well, the children were often neglected.
We were worried that once bad rumors of the wine started to spread, that people would stop buying it.
Furthermore, now that the relationship between the count and the duke could not be worse, they might not be able to buy grapes. Besides, they could hardly trust any merchants from that side now…
“I see… Yes, there will be some effect from it.”
“Indeed… There will be no way to stop the rumors. And once they spread, they will keep spreading. Besides, I think it will also be impossible to retrieve all of the wine that has already been sold.”
“Well, those with good intuition will realize that it’s the wine anyway…”
Aside from the rumors, it would also be difficult to retrieve the wine that was already out there.
Even if they were able to track down each bottle, most of it would have already been drunk or perhaps given to someone else.
In fact…I doubted they could even be tracked in the first place.
“It will be sad to lose this flavor… Sebastian. Is there anything that can be done about Range village’s wine?”
