Chapter 69. Another Attack and The Suspicious Man?

Advik and Lavanya's gaze was enough to tell Shwet about what was going on in their heads.

The man sighed looking at the hopeful faces of everyone. "I might be the demon emperor but that does not mean I have money."

Advik and Ghost General: "..."

Everyone's excitement dropped just like their shoulders.

Shwet explained, "All of the jewelry I have is actually just the replication of the real ones at the Demon Palace."

"What kind of emperor wears fake jewelry?" Girik said, clearing worrying about the financial situation of the demon palace which could not even afford some expensive adornments for their emperor.

"I think I can help." A voice came, it was Nitya. She smiled a little embarrassedly when everyone turned to look at her with twinkling eyes. "I was given some money by our Tribal Chief and also have some of my savings."

"I don't think it is going to be enough though," Girik said as a matter of fact.
