Naturi's Offer

Rion and several high-ranking royals were sitting spread out on the side of a very wide square-shaped table.

"With this, the Panthera Kingdom's remaining debt to the Naturi Kingdom is three million gold coins," said a man around forty years old as he handed over a check and a file containing the total amount that Panthera owed, and the total amount already paid. That man was Lord Vincent, the royal treasurer of Panthera.

"Hm… actually you don't need to rush. We are friends, so take it easy," King Elbert said to Rion after reading the file.

"What does Your Majesty mean no need to rush? The debt has been in arrears for a dozen years. We will pay the remaining one million as soon as possible," Rion explained.

"I have a feeling you don't see Naturi as a friend."
