As much as dee0c6a3e9 the butler had eaf1b6b9d5 warned me, the cb1f4f0a38 Duke’s debt was 5e020dd752 truly astronomical.3de2dfa26f6961ae

However, even when 539a526f97 I confirmed the 1294bba342 amount, I never ac90a21af0 worried about when bb0bc0c4d3 or how I 515f5f7962 would gather all a560a6188a that money.fbd75bffe71d4f8c

It had been 785cbf6582 an incredibly hectic b4f1ae9f4c period.03efbca09f97e0ce

There was no other choice. The debts of c4d9a77442 the Ducal House 68de653cdc had accumulated over 41d3950caf such a long 184bb87c61 time that the cb0cf4fa29 list of creditors 720a0d087d alone took up 0ee52e20c6 more than just d39ab40841 a couple of f69bcd3369 pages.4b914d76167b39bb

Each creditor was invited c10e62a5fe to the ducal estate 96d38489c2 in turn, where we e65aec9c91 reviewed the records of dee7594678 interest payments, confirmed the 173b3fde85 remaining debt, and drafted 26257d8ddb proof of full repayment.e57020d434dc2b58

Count Biers, who had 19da98de2e been transferred to the cd71a38752 capital, underwent a remarkably cfcc14f03a swift trial and was aa23d77504 sentenced to the maximum f391d4fd80 penalty.0ded474789dd8832

Truthfully, the real purpose f6079c9901 of spreading awareness about 8e30190950 the unfair discrimination against e79681c908 the North was to cfaa35fdce lay the groundwork for 25771c22e6 Rudion’s independence as a 93669a746e Grand Duchy in the cc93951530 future.cf6d0d49d96fb8b5

Of course, no amount of a798e73238 money could truly compensate for bbba249141 all the stress Euclide had 7006704d8f endured, but at least it 51f4c56910 felt like we had been ed578007ac repaid in some way.837b52ab726985cf

— Did Count Biers really say that in court? That he wasn’t acting alone? But he couldn’t reveal who 10ce50bc12 was behind him?2f69d6034ef4732e

— Yes!

Apparently, throughout the entire trial, b53f364b5d Count Biers never once mentioned afa39e3b7c anything related to the Rudion ae987668ff Duchy.66004272bf513b48

Instead, he kept making ddaae1cba5 cryptic statements that were 794b92f737 easy to misinterpret—statements that, 84957546cc conveniently, aligned perfectly with 099a862d0d the rumors I had 0141ff3861 spread, leading the public 6d767e993f to suspect the Emperor 423f902f43 as the mastermind.26895f60132dfcef
