Chapter 149: Traitors

Riveras, the biggest city of the duchy of Barnes. After the duke Chrisfold who was probably killed in the battle or captured then executed, Rohan didn't know who had replaced him. Obviously, it was a close member of the royal family, and now this territory could be said to be completely under the king.

As Rohan entered the city without any difficulties, the first thing that shocked him was the atmosphere. The people seemed to be healthy and smiling. The famine that was supposed to hit the whole region had been restrained by the supply coming from the other duchies.

If the kingdom hadn't put an embargo for a couple of years, the situation would never have climbed up to such a level. The thousands of soldiers wouldn't be dead for no reason.

Rohan couldn't even fathom the reason for such foolishness, apart from if the king was mad enough to try everything to have a grip over another duchy.
