Perhaps it was due to a lack of food security, or maybe it was a reluctance to feed their competitors. Either way, Baron Katelai pushed for the transaction as soon as the agreement was reached.
Given the complex situation in Layton County, neither Hudson nor Katelai wanted to be the first to act, making the deal particularly unusual.
People kept disappearing from the Maple Domain, which infuriated Baron Katelai to the point where he even formed a patrol team for protection.
Meanwhile, a rat plague broke out in the Mountain Domain. Countless large rats swarmed in and consumed a great deal of food, leading Baron Hudson to roar around the forest on his Earth Bear.
This strange situation continued until the population of the Maple Domain decreased by half, finally bringing peace to both domains.
