The situation was utterly terrible for the Light Parliament.
Just as Rhode predicted, the Light Parliament was strapped for cash without the Munn Kingdom's financial support in the upcoming year. Moreover, it wasn't only the shortage of budget that left them badly battered. They were also affected by the wave of refugees from the battlefront while their military budget increased and the homeless people also needed comfort. Furthermore, large amounts of pensions for the fallen soldiers were also required. The amount of funds needed to provide relief and support to several other economically underdeveloped areas had reached an unprecedented stage. The Light Parliament initially hoped to coax or receive some financial support from Lilian. But ever since she flew into a rage, she never showed them any kindness. Even though the Light Parliament had braced themselves when meeting her, they were all rejected.
