2 days later, Yuan Boran's study.
Yuan Boran rubbed his temple gently as his silk store's steward read out the list of customers that had cancelled their orders and were requesting a refund.
it was worse than he had expected, they had lost more than half of their clientele in two days. 'Do none of these people have a single drop of loyalty in them', he thought sighing.
Most of them had done business with him for over a decade, yet they were easily swayed by the Duke. He had expected a few of his closest friends to stick by him but none of them did, they were all too scared of the Duke.
Yuan Boran glanced down at the letters sent over by the coast guards, just like the Duke had threatened.
His shipments were all seized, even with his documents being up to date. He glanced from the letter to his steward and with a pained expression instructed him to lock up the stores.
