"What…?"
Tarevian stared at the couple in front of him in disbelief.
"…"
Kael and Lavinia kept their heads low and did not say anything. The rest of the Elders present in the room seemed taken aback as well, but none of them could say anything. There were more than fifteen people in the room, but even then, the room was dead silent.
Until…
"You…"
Until Aelindra, the Warden of Provisions, called out.
The woman stared at Kael with a desperate look on her face and—
"You said I wouldn't have to worry about food again! You said we'd never go hungry! What do you mean the Divine Rations won't appear!?"
She raised her voice.
"…I never promised anything. I told you this wasn't permanent."
Unlike how he would usually stay silent, this time, Kael answered.
