A wave of unrestrained laughter echoed inside the room.

Dwayne also turned his head pretending to look away, but his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.

She saw that he was desperately holding back his laughter.

‘What’s so funny?’

Aria looked at the cards again but found nothing unusual.

The forest was filled with actual parasitic worms that could threaten one’s life.

“She means that those idiots suffered from parasites,” the grand duke said, rubbing his chin with his fingers.

Aria’s words really surprised him. She caught him off guard as he wasn’t ready to laugh this hard.

“If what she says is correct, then we can roughly predict the situation. How amusing.”

The Duchy of Valentine was known for its abundant natural resources. Among them, was the Diamante Mine.

‘The mine has ores that can be turned into mana stones.’

Although mines were found all around the world, most minerals didn’t have the same hardness, streak, and luster as those in the Diamante Mine. Thus, the price of minerals and ores from the Diamante Mine was far higher than those from other mines.

Viscount Cavendish also tried to obtain the rights to trade from the Diamante Mine. However, he unfortunately failed, and upon being restrained, the viscount shamelessly retaliated and tried extorting large sums of money from the grand duchy.

‘The problem is that the duchy is rich in natural resources.’

The living beings that resided in the grand duchy were strong as well.

Both humans and animals.

‘…Even the parasites.’

Once, Viscount Cavendish’s vassals accidentally found a peculiar snake.

The snake’s scales shone like a rainbow with vivid luster. It was considered a sacred creature and without having second thoughts, the vassals cooked and ate it on the spot.

The results were, of course, disastrous.

Some of them got paralyzed. Their whole body hardened like stone and they lost their sight forever.

In the end, they all died a gruesome death.

These were all words spoken by the viscount when he was spending his leisure time inside Count Cortez’s salon.

‘Ah, I see why they laughed.’

They invaded another man’s land without permission, carelessly ate wild animals, and now, they were fighting between life and death. On top of that, they even asked for compensation when in fact, their misfortunes were all due to their own negligent acts.

It was so ridiculous that you could only laugh.

“I heard that outsiders will suffer from stomach aches if they don’t boil the forest’s water before drinking it. Apparently, they also deem all living creatures in this land as monsters,” the grand duke explained as he shifted his gaze towards Aria.

“But how did you know that?”

[Diana said that I am weak because I am from outside the border. Betty said that if I eat raw food, I will get infected.]

“I am amazed. Did you deduce that conclusion after hearing that there was a forest fire?” The grand duke asked in admiration.

‘That’s not it… ’
