Greed

Within one of the small houses near the dock of Lioness port, four figures seem to have met secretly.

"Lord Fantumar, my king demands to know your standing on this matter."

Right after an audience with the king, the Cantiaci emissary secretly met up with the second most powerful person in Lioness, the wealthy Lord Fantumar.

It was a secret meeting that was attended by only four people, the two of them and Sir Breunor the Dread knight and Fantumar's son, Abe.

Abe was quite surprised to see that his father was more silent than usual, as he was disrespected by the Cantiaci family. He had expected a more visceral reaction. 

"So, how will it be, Lord Fantumar? It has been 6 months and the Queen will not accept it! If this goes on any longer, she will not hesitate to break the agreement!"
