To be honest, 9685780ddb I never thought e1e59ca64f I would be 2d21751aca this emotional on 5adf616478 the day I c36a9a5be8 finally cleared all 1362b7296d of the Ducal 2bcebf8428 House’s debt.656e52fadd8e1b60

As much as the butler aa59c52e04 had warned me, the Duke’s f1028ed3ad debt was truly astronomical.7d27dc4911f2b514

However, even when I 11e247dc99 confirmed the amount, I 813b5105fc never worried about when aec67dab6a or how I would 5e9a0506c4 gather all that money.1f30909677d78e25

In fact, on 7c1e83ab62 the day the bff52b2b7b Gold Merchant Guild 2a9f4378ca visited the ducal cec65a1b1e estate, there was 8eee252357 enough cash to c59dea60dd pay off all 56e36a70d4 the debts immediately.b1eddd8916ebd8cc

It had been an 20682ad0f2 incredibly hectic period.224551ff9c1c3f04

There was no other choice. The debts of the Ducal 270f410288 House had accumulated over such c518fb3a95 a long time that the 42a9857a04 list of creditors alone took fcce641708 up more than just a 88b47831f9 couple of pages.19b725e1eb5af257

So, I prioritized them 45e0cb12ca based on the due 32fbe5623e date of interest payments, e3d9d93651 the amount owed, and 87b7cb54ad their significance.4aa8fd560aeb1662

Each creditor was invited to 216bbabd14 the ducal estate in turn, 5cfd3a79c7 where we reviewed the records 91fad47983 of interest payments, confirmed the 2d3699f78d remaining debt, and drafted proof 3e868ec3e9 of full repayment.839321d7ad8d99b5

Count Biers, who f35478b3df had been transferred da73d8fda1 to the capital, e3b2e161d1 underwent a remarkably db909a4b12 swift trial and 29da030690 was sentenced to adb69fe310 the maximum penalty.cc379be0a7f5348c

A verdict was issued stating 7ff137541a that all the wealth the ecb02d91f2 count’s household had illegally accumulated 8e444fbef0 over the years was to e0daba6916 be confiscated—not into the national 11bec7f855 treasury, but into the hands 25722c2bf8 of the Rudion Duchy.ffcb692a56915ac3

The decision was made 668ecab279 because the court acknowledged b9462e4909 the Rudion Duchy as 8c89594f96 the victim of the 63974a92ab funds Count Beers had 18e1552749 extorted under the guise 981877ca65 of distribution fees.f6eaeaa02ee3a371

Truthfully, the real purpose c1008693a3 of spreading awareness about 0d632bcb84 the unfair discrimination against 177f70c9c6 the North was to f2c14248c8 lay the groundwork for a7e88665a6 Rudion’s independence as a c17aedca17 Grand Duchy in the 80e852bfcc future.009899d94d978b68

However, for now, it d3e63894eb seemed to have been 7c18feb0c6 more effective in turning 565948f5f2 public opinion against the d2a33174c4 Emperor.47e43fbd8a64dcdf

‘That’s probably why no one dared to object to the decision to transfer Count Biers’ assets to Rudion instead of the imperial treasury.’728993045ad730ca

Of course, no amount of ee09fc2545 money could truly compensate for 559a3dc48d all the stress Euclide had e94cb96b27 endured, but at least it b9b6f22f68 felt like we had been 8165f49b05 repaid in some way.2de914547314c811

— Did Count Biers really say that in court? That he wasn’t acting alone? But he couldn’t reveal who a80ce39ffa was behind him?7ffc4dd95f0034eb

— Yes! That’s why everyone is in 30a40a8bcd an uproar, saying he must 663f76547e have kept his mouth shut 1d1edb3101 because he was afraid of 91271e026c the Emperor or hoping they’d 2083b06532 at least spare his only cc97bd9475 remaining daughter.a060fa8310a7d51a

Instead, he kept 34b063c66c making cryptic statements a0ab8043e2 that were easy 85e107ae4f to misinterpret—statements that, 8bd0076576 conveniently, aligned perfectly b23a343fcd with the rumors 104f6cac16 I had spread, 15373a6f7d leading the public 93d03afb91 to suspect the b166bbae64 Emperor as the ee97f4b92f mastermind.3d07431decaa516b
