As Chester finished speaking, the banquet hall fell silent, and the atmosphere abruptly became extremely grave.
Not only the 20 Northern Territory Lords present, but also the other attending noble ladies and noblewomen, all looked startled and began to glance at each other.
Hadn't the kind and wise Princess Ariel and the respected Mr. Lane just recently provided a large amount of food aid to the Northern Territory? Were they now preparing to bring war, death, and wailing to the North again?
But wasn't Princess Ariel renowned for her kindness and goodness? Why would she want to reignite the flames of war on this once ravaged frozen land?
For a moment, a pair of shocked and incredulous eyes were cast upon Ariel and Leo Ray, seemingly accusing them.
"I didn't expect that Chester would target Ariel's kindness, now things have become a bit troublesome."
Caroline, who had been following the developments, frowned upon seeing this.
