Walker Of The Worlds

Qiao De's words were completely understandable by everyone and they knew what had happened was normal.

"So one party went back on their word and got snitched on by a third party." Ziran stated hearing it all.

"Yes." Qiao De nodded his head.

"And things got worse after that?" Lin Mu asked, wondering how it progressed.

"Well, upon learning that the conditions of the bargain were not held up the Great Wave Kingdom obviously demanded Huyun Chuan over so that they could punish him themselves. In addition to that, since the Purple Sparrow Kingdom had broken the deal, they also wanted additional compensation." Qiao De replied. "Until this point, things were still fine but it got complex once the Royal court of the Purple Sparrow Kingdom got involved. They quickly learned that the Huyun Clan had been behind the return of Huyun Chuan.

As such, they looked to push blame on the Huyun Clan and got them to pay out the compensation that the Great Wave Kingdom demanded. This was of course in addition to handing over Huyun Chuan. The Huyun Clan of course resisted, but had to yield under the threat of getting their titles removed and their property seized by a royal decree.

They decided to pay the Great Wave Kingdom and even hand over Huyun Chuan who had now been imprisoned in the Royal Prison. But before the Royal Court could get all the things sorted out, the Great Wave Kingdom seemed to have gotten impatient.

A day before the Royal Court was going to inform the Great Wave Kingdom about the new agreement and the payment of compensation, the kingdom took a drastic and rash decision." The merchant said before taking a pause, as if teasing them like he was selling some goods.

But he could see the hints of irritation on the faces of Lady Kang and her servants as such he decided it was best to continue speaking.

"The Great Wave Kingdom sent their experts to infiltrate and kill the people of the Huyun Clan. They were also told to search for Huyun Chuan but did not find him in his clan. Thinking that the royal court was actually hiding the man, they considered it an even greater offense.

Of course, the latter attempts of the Purple Sparrow Kingdom's ruler failed as the Great Wave Kingdom simply saw it as them trying to shift blame and give excuses. All communication fell through after that and the border between the two kingdoms was shut.

While the orders for war were not given out yet, cold tensions had already formed between the two kingdoms. The only reason they hadn't acted out was because both knew a war would be a tough choice as both kingdoms had strong experts that could keep each other in check." Qiao De explained, causing others to reach their conclusions from previous information by the Crown Prince.

"Afterwards the Great Wave Kingdom increased their forces along the border and showed all signs of an impending war.
