The king was genuinely listening to Canna's plan until Canna mentioned "The Forever Weed." The king and his grand mage's eyes widened, and the warm, lively atmosphere in the room suddenly shifted.
The king eyed Canna suspiciously. "I don't know how you knew of that plant, but it is too dangerous. Those seeds almost caused our downfall during the reign of the third king."
Canna didn't back down from the king's stare. "Perfect, isn't it? I'll take it off your hands, and you won't have to worry about it anymore."
The king looked at his grand mage again, clearly questioning where Canna would use the seeds. Kael, who seemed unaware of what the Forever Weed was, had to ask Canna for an explanation. After he heard it, Kael turned to the king. "Don't worry, my king. The seeds will not be used in this kingdom nor in any other. It's just something that will aid in Canna's travels."
The king nodded to Kael. "Let's go after dinner, then. No need to prolong this."
