Desiring the Rhipa

"The Rhipa."

Upon hearing the name, Re'Kha immediately recalled the lie she had concocted against the scouts in the Burkurel Ju Clan's Western Settlement. There was a reason she had made such a lie back then.

It was because of the immenseness of the granary and the countless Aeki situated within. The quantity of food they stored was tremendous for a house in the Settlement. Even if they had been operating as a branch for the mysterious organisation, it didn't make sense to store so much food.

After all, their state never had a shortage of food. They always had enough to sustain themselves, and even had some excess every year that was stored in the thousands of Aeki in every city.

And, considering the tremendous stash of wealth they possessed, no matter what, they could simply buy any food at whatever quantity they needed. So, it didn't make sense to store as much food as they did.
