The Coming Sect Competition

Although someone like him wouldn't want to lower his head and thank someone like Karsha, what Karsha has just done for him is something he, a King, wouldn't mind lowering his head in thanks. 

Bottlenecks are hard to break free from, so for Karsha to have helped him, The King is indeed grateful. Karsha could tell, so in order not to make the King feel awkward for not lowering his head, Karsha decided to give her a way out

"Looks like I might need to start charging for these fish," Karsha said, leaning casually on June's shoulder, which sent waves of jealousy down the heart of June's suitors. 

"Not every day someone breaks through their bottleneck thanks to a grilled snack."

The King, who knew what Karsha was doing, grinned widely, eyes twinkling with mischief. 

"Oh, come now. Your fish might be divine but don't think you can make a fortune off me just yet. Though I must admit, I might need a few more of those magical morsels."
