"We're all old friends, let's split it half-half!"
As Hudson's words fell, Baron Katelai felt like dying. But, it wasn't the suicidal kind, he had the desire to kill the vampire before his eyes.
Only, the unfamiliar surroundings made him let go of these tempting thoughts. To break a friendship on someone else's territory would undoubtedly invite a beating.
"That's impossible!
Baron Hudson, your appetite is too much! I just need a batch of food in an emergency, you're trying to ruin me!"
Having just stood up to leave, Baron Katelai regretted it. Half the population was not impossible to deal with, as long as the grain exchanged was enough, that was not a problem at all.
After all, losses could be passed on. Currently, all the nobles of the North were facing a food shortage, so exchanging population for food was not an impossible operation.
Should he leave or not?
