This was the setting that princess Rose suggested. In the open area, where the people gathered and they could hear their conversation clearly.
Therefore, they had to be careful with what they said and the subtle meaning behind their words to stir people here.
Dacre already had bad reputation for his earlier move to send Silas and his royal warriors and started the battle against Khaos, in that case, they left Silas behind.
"I am sure there was a misunderstanding," Dacre said calmly. He managed to compose himself right away after the shock of how quick Khaos read the situation and turned the table against him in his monologue.
However, Dacre came prepared. Rose and he had discussed about it.
"Silas seemed to play both of us and now I am here to clear the air." Dacre gestured his hands to the people around him. "People has suffered enough because of this misunderstanding and because of that, I want to apologize."
This made people gasped, because they would never think a king like Dacre would even apologize for anything, even for his own mistake, therefore that simple word sent massive reaction. It managed to sway people’s opinion about him.
Zuri and Khaos could see this change clearly. This was not Dacre’s style. Someone was working behind him to create a new image and that person must be the princess. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Zuri stared at the princess and their eyes met. Princess Rose smiled politely at her. Her simple white dress made her looked more approachable, as if she was part of the commoner. It made her appeared down to earth and humble.
"Because of that, I want to apologize by distributing one golden ingot to everyone here."
Money. This was the easy way to solve the problem and Zuri knew that. She learned this from Rhett and many deals she had for this pack.
And the royal families had a lot of money indeed. A golden ingot for each people here was worth it to fix the king’s reputation and save his image in public.
People cheered when they saw a few trunks full of golden ingots. They thanked the king profusely and chanted his name in good song.
Princess Rose seemingly succeeded to explain to the king that public opinion was important, thus she approached the situation from that stand point. Smart. Zuri would give her that.
"We can work together to go through this winter, my brother," Dacre said. The way he addressed Khaos as his brother made the alpha wanted to scrunch his nose. It was too intimate for his liking.
"Luna Zuri, you are so kind to open your gates for these people. It really touched my heart to see your kindness." Princess Rose finally opened her mouth and talked directly to Zuri.
