The situation returned to what William had planned.

His original plan was to make a quick stop to dispel the corruptive curse and retrieve the Holy Spirit Disc at Ravenwood, then move on to his primary objective—negotiate a food trade agreement with the ruler for the second half of the year. The situation was dire—Viper Scar had contaminated the western part of the Blackwater Province, causing the spread of the blight, and the situation in Nakuland was becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

Camilla, that vicious b*tch, was most likely projecting more than half of Her influence on Currere in an attempt to disgust him.

But when William learned from Ebony that the Holy Tree Duke didn't care about the lives of the Forest Elves by changing the use of arable land to satisfy the empire's demand for wine exports from the Damon Continent's tribal alliance, causing the entire Emerald Province to be unable to make ends meet, he had to rethink his plan.
