Chapter 199: Suspicion

But in this critical moment, Duke White was actually saying that he didn’t have any resources needed for the war.

No, he didn’t say that.

But these nobles were all acting that way one by one. Otherwise, they would not come to see him here.

It seemed to say that they were all so stupid and thoughtless that they never thought about preparing for rainy days.

What in the world they were doing over the years that they didn’t have any resources left for the Yellow Kingdom’s King?

Now, Duke White was coming here, the suspicion of the Yellow Kingdom’s King had reached the peak!

"Your Majesty..." Duke White opened his mouth but he didn’t know how to explain. Could he possibly say that he hadn’t truly managed his territory well?

If he dared to say that, he was sure that the Yellow Kingdom’s King would dare to take back the territory and handed it to someone else!

Duke White couldn’t say it.

Not even if he was beaten to death!

"I want you to figure out how to get the resources." the Yellow Kingdom’s King’s face was dark. "Even if you have to buy from other kingdoms, I don’t care as long as you can get the resources needed and then send them all to Duke Yelan. He’ll pay everything!"

These nobles looked at each other.

Well, if they were allowed to look for other sources, then there would definitely be some things that they could do.

But if the cost was not controlled well, they might fall into bankruptcy in the end. Since the Yellow Kingdom’s King had said that Duke Yelan would be the one paying, then it would be fine for them to do it, right?

However, the Yellow Kingdom’s King seemed to guess what they thought. "Prime Minister Lat will divide the budget you have to follow and the amount of resources needed. If you require more money to buy the resources, you have to pay on your own."

Even if the Yellow Kingdom’s King wanted them to get the resources, it couldn’t deplete the entire kingdom’s resources either. There should be a limit to how much they could bear.

And the Yellow Kingdom’s King definitely didn’t want to be the one losing in this war.

It would be better to let these nobles be the one to bear the brunt instead.

The nobles: "..." Damn!

Duke White’s face was also not very good. He knew very well that the prices of food was definitely not cheap and he already didn’t have enough money in his territory. If he had to pay for the resources on his own, then it was estimated that there would be nothing that he could do but to fell into debt.

Thinking about not having enough money to do anything, Duke White felt his heart and stomach hurt.

Because he knew that if he didn’t have enough money to keep up with his appearance in the future, his reputation would be at the stake. And as the duke in the Yellow Kingdom, how could he not care for his face?

So he had to handle this matter well.

"You may go now." the Yellow Kingdom’s King waved his hand and let these nobles out.

He had sent a letter to Prime Minister Lat to manage this matter, but he would need to increase the amount of money sent by Duke Yelan to these nobles. After all, it would be impossible to go by the normal prince considering that they might have to outsource or do other things to get the resources needed.

The Yellow Kingdom’s King sighed deeply.

He knew very well that this war was an important matter for the Yellow Kingdom because the resource that could be obtained rom the war would be able to recoup the losses.

But the premise was that they won.

If they lose, then everything he had done would be utterly useless.

"How could things fall to this point?" the Yellow Kingdom’s King mused to himself.

Everything has been going well for the Yellow Kingdom so far. They were doing well in the previous negotiations and no problem appeared. The other kingdoms were respectful and they earned a lot of money.

When he saw the large amount of money that Aurora won for them, the Yellow Kingdom’s King was so happy that he nearly unable to fall asleep that night.

He knew that this Aurora was really talented.

So he wished that she could work for them for a long time.

Anyway, the Yellow Kingdom’s King felt that Aurora would be the crown princess and in the future, she would also lead the Yellow Kingdom. There was no problem with her doing the work in advance.

But the perfect plan fell through.

His stupid son suddenly decided to change his fiancée and then staged a stupid and ridiculous scene during the graduation party.

When he thought about this, the Yellow Kingdom’s King really didn’t want to admit that Crown Prince Edward is his son. Because he felt that Crown Prince Edward was simply too stupid.

So stupid that there was simply no comparison.

If Crown Prince Edward was not his son, the Yellow Kingdom’s King would not have tolerated him and allowed him to enjoy the prince’s privilege. Unfortunately, that stupid boy didn’t seem to realize that he had responsibility that he had to fulfill.

If he was not his son, the Yellow Kingdom’s King would not be willing to take care of Crown Prince Edward in the slightest bit. Hopefully, that brat would grow up faster after this incident and learn how to manage many things well.

Otherwise, the Yellow Kingdom’s King would not step down from this throne and keep it for a much longer time.

*sigh*

After sighing for the nth time, the Yellow Kingdom’s King thought to himself that it would have been better if Aurora is still here.

Hmm?

If Aurora is still here?

As he repeated this question, the Yellow Kingdom’s King’s eyes narrowed slightly.
