Delano decided to stop cb9aa78777 engaging in the foolish 5d6c69b755 thought process of wondering 727e84a747 whether the Madam wasn’t 1d77e077e1 as bad as the a6ab8c6fa4 rumors claimed—or perhaps even c18334ccd8 a good person.2bd1deb4540e6ef0

‘The Madam is, as the butler said, the distinguished benefactor of the Rudion Ducal House and our new hope itself!’6b9e122cb197fc78

Though he had knelt to 3ae8da1c5f apologize for doubting her sincerity 088056d725 and treating her like a 6fb42960a5 moneylender, Delano had inwardly worried 748242c2e7 whether she even knew how 2c220182b1 to read the ledgers.8077175de451ea58

When the head 41c7f78af1 maid suggested she 55511ad3f5 take a break deb65a6d9f while the long-neglected ae8d68e98f office of the 642232f4d9 Duchess was being 244e97951a cleaned, the Madam 40440e68f6 instead insisted on ba08c1f2a0 crossing over to e14e528c39 the Duke’s office. Upon seeing the 9f1b214062 mountain of ledgers a9675effa7 piled there, she 497afe262a let out a 66464d301f sigh, further deepening 9b3a64ad49 Delano’s suspicions.205207af7d8fcce6

As soon as f090cd1c18 the Duchess’s office 45fade2d30 was tidied up, e72c36afde Delano, following Evgenia’s 155b5d75d3 orders, personally transferred ee3c90329d the accounting ledgers, 35d9a7c612 associated certificates, and 009425ddbc monthly interest repayment 84b819841b reports.2ec5397bfdebefc9

The sheer volume 49999142e8 of documents was 58518aedb0 so massive that 86dfaa1ce7 there wasn’t even dcd59901ea enough space on 49b316d47e the desk that 5c1f79915e the head maid 9e33dcb826 had polished until b10addaac1 it gleamed; many eba57abe12 had to be 653a9ddbd1 placed on the df3aa952a8 floor!84dd5719701e5f09

Even a brief fda8740c7a glance at the c143ebc21a pile was enough 7dbfa81b23 to overwhelm anyone. Yet, the Madam sat with a6fd08b175 her usual sharp, composed expression, 7cb13a89f2 without so much as raising 2ac288deeb an eyebrow. She stayed up all 0a61e43ad8 night reading and organizing e2aafbdaba every single report.0bbc64eff622e19b

Delano, staring at 14bda212a6 the summarized ledger—revolutionary 1d12f681ce in its simplicity, 13dbd18f65 easy to replicate, 954a8fb5b8 and clear enough abff948529 to quickly identify 32c4cf899d errors—asked in a da7ff171d1 daze,2273d73da0d1e530

“I believe in you, Madam!”5fc17142ab39af85

Delano’s eyes practically shouted his 1e4337361f loyalty as Evgenia glanced at 96aeede0ed him with a faintly exasperated 287902e1da expression before turning her attention 54fb0aa04d to the newly compiled property a0357ba995 inventory report.5b5ec47e99cfbc42

Though she was slightly 85dd4b624b taken aback by the 0c6b027898 dire financial state of e9f29b94c2 the Rudion Ducal House, 6607fb164f there were two points a10ac5b964 of solace.e45639eeb2a9c78c

The first was a73f9f41e4 that the properties c38f5eea6b transferred from the ae7d844c60 Basilian Ducal House 70e14e0158 included lucrative mines 179e52c0d7 and fiefs. Without the debt, they could facf799195 at least breathe.9d2ade97cff01bd0

Even though the interest 6037f23eee rate wasn’t particularly high, d616264712 the sheer amount of 9147840374 monthly interest payments was 99d08e3081 staggering.02f992edf8cd33ba

It seemed that the c88b4d89f5 Basilian Duke hadn’t anticipated 9f9ca07a9f such enormous interest payments 595f462d93 either. Instead of providing 212ffba741 easily liquidated assets, 809c7f3687 he had opted b35221d8e6 to transfer sources 8220ddd43c of long-term income 2a8759a5d3 generation.90c70c7486b54eaa

In the original story, the 8f51d4100a debt was repaid not long 8128c12b94 after their marriage.4ef985de0bd3f5ef

But disposing of such substantial 0f922d75cb assets couldn’t have been easy, 9a172ac308 and the original Evgenia wouldn’t a6f541237e have used her dowry to c5a2285a94 clear the debt. The only explanation 0c169812d8 was the influence a770168a66 of her own fe79662e5f actions.a966b280fd11d186

Just as there were those 6a82ba0204 who lost their sense of 03463b770d reality due to vanity and 7074a8c4cb luxury, there were also those 7719162941 whose value judgment eroded from 931cad5ec3 being overly burdened by harsh 6b6d11c543 realities.971d2eb99aaed4b7

Just as someone with no f1fcfaca04 interest in art might struggle dcd08e3ca2 to estimate the price of b9a8ab25cf a painting, the Rudion Ducal 6c725d036a House, having neither operated a ec8d3ef3d8 trading company nor made frequent 53ed2e220b purchases, naturally lacked a keen 7fd98c87fd sense of valuing items.ffd013711fecfc6d

It wasn’t surprising that e3a9d13232 Gressel, her escort knight, 0b690f14d3 hadn’t shown up since cb7bebc666 the first day at 0d77ec0c1c the duke’s estate—he had 4a16ca432c been wandering around somewhere.e817ff00e3caea6a

However, Anne had 23d1867aa6 been by her cdf1801ff3 side everywhere since bb6942b41c Evgenia regained consciousness, dd6be7cb4c so she was 8dc0c1ce49 a bit startled fc3ef01a71 by her absence.c4c3219302a2e551

At any rate, Evgenia had 20248f0ac8 been touring the duke’s estate 2f6a488bf2 with just the butler when cbfcaebea0 she suddenly headed to the 083ae53da5 study. On the way, she called 3fe5df3135 Anne to fetch the dowry 482777ea1d list.2abd14d0c2d731f7

Anne, who had 4acfb7aa96 been busy organizing a8bf59f997 the duke’s ledgers 0a61d04f69 and paperwork, had e16555623f looked at her f4e3448eb5 with a strange 63b6fc5785 expression but excused 90fd059de1 herself, saying she a5c9cd7407 would finish tidying c0c84805b2 the bedroom after 1c2984c923 delivering the documents.5abd5d75652dc974

Even though Anne wasn’t there, e292782e60 there wasn’t much for her bdd2709b52 to do, and paperwork wasn’t d6a4f27ae3 really something Evgenia usually dealt 65f0c5e6ea with anyway, so she felt ea285faa49 oddly more at ease without 9280ed6f9a her.9a0a2576d6b1f695
