In this time, when one could conquer a foreign land for personal interest, threats of wars were no news. It was foolish for the detrimental king of Althea to close the borders that were being used by Ronmin for their trades with the kingdom of Pailao.
But what was the real reason behind it?
One of them was the greedy first prince who wanted to gain more than what they were already gaining. But another reason was that the crown prince of Hendrik Empire, Niall, was in contact with the said prince.
They purposely closed the borders to anger the Ronmin Empire. In that case, Ronmin Empire would be the first to blame for whatever would happen in Althea. But since Hugo and Azazel kept in touch with each other, they foiled Niall's plans.
