As much as the 00901de9b5 butler had warned me, 901143e448 the Duke’s debt was 934b210df9 truly astronomical.7f5f4c3821a9a60c

It had been an incredibly f589b226d2 hectic period.c8bedecfecd676f5

There was no other choice. The debts of the 88ce34b8e2 Ducal House had accumulated 933e2ede93 over such a long d52b5817c5 time that the list 49344352a4 of creditors alone took 9619d0b2ff up more than just 6d590f4d8f a couple of pages.aef35a25d0ccb236

Truthfully, the real 200dac89fb purpose of spreading fdceb0f575 awareness about the e3508fad2d unfair discrimination against 8de6c47ac3 the North was 320373a157 to lay the 606db04cc8 groundwork for Rudion’s bc1d952ab3 independence as a cc79cf1996 Grand Duchy in ab33757dbd the future.4982761dd17b7f45

Of course, no c74503a990 amount of money 5736bce717 could truly compensate 89acade327 for all the 9ee05386b4 stress Euclide had e21df42f58 endured, but at 13238eeb3b least it felt 963184401a like we had 43eb6a6527 been repaid in 3eae7c731a some way.cafc01c9d72eafab

— Did Count Biers really say that in court? That he wasn’t acting alone? But he couldn’t reveal who d38158ac60 was behind him?39e7be4d0ca783bb

— Yes! That’s why everyone is 862945f255 in an uproar, saying 18ad70e2e1 he must have kept 5ae2b6a86f his mouth shut because def5aacc24 he was afraid of 73f0d8ecc4 the Emperor or hoping 642d85bb09 they’d at least spare 158f283fba his only remaining daughter.0b8b901e34ae796b
