As I vaguely recall, the French Revolution. It was said that Queen Marie Antoinettes extravagance had caused Frances financial crisis, but in fact, the cause of the financial difficulties was military spending. Speaking of money-eating locusts, the military was the main culprit.

Yurimagna, with its Grand Knights, was in financial difficulties.

Big Brother told Ekaterina that Giorgie of Magna visited him frequently in those days.

Ekaterina looked up.

Big Brother, Mr. Kimberly. Was the missing treasurer introduced to our family from somewhere?

There is no letter of introduction or any other evidence of any kind. But we know they are from Magna.

Ekaterina involuntarily closed her eyes.

It hit her.

The former finance chief sent by Yurimagna funneled Yurinovas money over there. The old hag had allowed it to happen right under her nose.

Damn hagI knew she had no common sense or sense of right and wrong, but to let another family embezzle our money like that was just too good to be true! Were you so crazy that you couldnt even understand that it was wrong?

No, there was no connection between the old hag and embezzlement. Anyway, who would engage in such an act of embezzlement, sneaking around and skimming money from someone who believed herself to be noble and righteous? The self-proclaimed best lady who despised money accounts and embezzlement. It doesnt fit the image in any way. It doesnt feel right, but Yurimagna must have conspired with her in some way or form?

But we dont have any proof, but we know its from Magna? Missing no, I mustnt think about it.

Big Brother. This Imperial Ducal Palace, where you have been living since you succeeded the dukedom, has been set up to meet Big Brothers wishes, hasnt it? However, in the main residence of the dukes domain where we are going now, are the remnants of those doing such evil things still remaining, walking through these hallowed halls?

Clever one as always. Yes, some were complicit, although they may not be aware of Magnas involvement. We have eliminated the major players, but I am sure the little ones are still there. Many wicked thieves among the relatives and minor nobles in the fiefdom are willing to line their pockets whenever the opportunity arises. I asked you to see this so that you would understand this.

I will not let anything happen to you. They already know what will happen if they attempt to do so.

Big BrotherI love the wispy smile on your face, but it wasnt the magic that made me feel like the room temperature had dropped. It was the atmosphere of a beautiful ice demon king.

Come to think of it, that messenger who forcibly took out my bedridden mother and shortened her life. That must have been a pawn of the old hag. I am sure that the man got what he deserved.

What kind of retribution he gotI guess Im better off not knowing, just like the former treasurers disappearance.

Thank you for sharing, Big Brother, and as the Lady of Yurinova, I will oversee the main house expenses with all my heart.

My mind suddenly went back to the many beautiful but ill-fitting dresses that were made without my permission when I was living in the main residence of the dukes estate.

I felt a strange sense of satisfaction that this was the case.

It was like a remnant of the old hag to express her hostility in such a way, as if wrapped in cotton, while treating Big Brother politely out of fear. By the way, when Big Brother was praised by His Majesty the Emperor during his visit, he repeatedly said that he still had a long way to go. I guess he was not being modest, but was serious.

I was prepared to confront the remnants of the party, saying that the main residence had originally been the home of the old hag for a long time.

However, I could not have imagined that things had gone so far to be so tacky. I am so glad they told me.

And Yurimagna.

When was it that Big Brother said something like there was a constant struggle between aristocrats of the same class? But I didnt know that they would harm us in this way. How dare they commit such an outrageous thing, embezzling another familys funds?
