Her assistants cheered and sighed in relief.
"We will soon reveal the truth about the plant disease after more detailed discussions. However, another pressing problem has occurred in the locked-down territories," Arabella revealed and intentionally paused to gauge their reaction.
"There's more?!"
Her assistants were wide-eyed and pondered what else could be happening.
"Yes. Due to the lockdown and the burning that had been going on incessantly, the people had grown frustrated and fearful…"
Arabella then informed them of the concerns Ivan pointed out in his letter.
She let them process the situation before she added, "For these concerns, we need both short-term and long-term solutions. For instance, I plan to pay them a short visit and get their attention away from the knights' activities even for a short time."
"Your Majesty will head there?!"
Her assistants gawked at her before they recalled it was rude and stopped it.
