They were now at the point of having to seek aid from the southern kingdoms.
Seeking aid was the polite term for it; in reality, it was begging.
"Your Majesty, the Barletto Duchy has agreed to provide aid, and the Algeria Kingdom is still helping us seek more support..." Minister of Foreign Affairs Earl Henry said from the side.
"If we could secure aid from the Tilia Kingdom, our situation might improve significantly," said Earl William.
