Chapter 3376 Rumors
- Montiria, which had been gradually stabilizing under the combined authority of Mortimer and Matthew, was once again stirring with unrest. A rumor began circulating among the common folk, though no one knew exactly when or where it had started. The rumor claimed that Matthew had never truly destroyed the Night Vine and instead had only publicly banned its cultivation to secure control over its trade for personal profit. According to the whispers, Matthew had secretly been smuggling the plant out of Montiria, using his position to profit from it.
- On the bustling streets of Montiria, crowds filled every corner, and conversations buzzed with speculation.
- "I heard the Regent, Matthew Larson, and the Nation's Grandmaster are involved in smuggling Night Vine by deceiving Princess Fiorenna using their power. Do you think it's true?" one young woman whispered to her friend.
