A moment later, Celestina finished reading the letter. The letter was personally written by Duke Serizawa.
In the letter written by Duke Serizawa, he painstakingly detailed the catastrophic aftermath of the flood that had ravaged his lands. The floodwaters, he explained, were merciless in their destruction, sweeping through the fields with such force and ferocity that not a single crop was spared. Acres upon acres of what had been lush, verdant farmland were now submerged or muddied beyond recognition.
Grains, vegetables, and fruits that the people of his territory had relied upon for sustenance were now rotting under the sun. This calamity led to a dire scarcity of food. The backbone of their daily sustenance set off a chain reaction that would deeply affect every household.
