Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
No One Conscious of It
The Viscount Sera
while their people were starving, members of the Sera family were having a sizable feast for their families.Warm food was on their tables and cold drinks were ready at the dinner table. the Sera family also spent a lot of money to rent a music group to enliven this event.
of course, even though they labeled this as a family event, but in fact many other Nobles were invited.especially from the Duke Conrad Faction. Although due to the events that befell Gustave at that time because of recklessness against Issac, he was not, the relationship between Sera and Conrad became tenuous, but because of some things happened, Sera finally decided to re-alliance with Conrad. indeed a planless political attitude.
"Welcome, Mr. Gustave! I'm sorry if this is all we can provide." Louis welcomes Gustave.
"Don't think about it. Let's drink. Hey waitress, pour us a drink."
a man dressed in waitress clothes picked up two bottles of alcohol and a few glasses on a tray and took them to a table where Gustave, Louis, and his allies had poured their drinks, the statement said, Gustave raised his glass high.
"for the glory of Heinz's kingdom forever, toast!!"
the twang of glasses filled the room.they were allies of Gustave.each of them would inherit the title of nobility from their father and lead their respective territories.Of course, they were allies of the first prince. geitz is in it.
"Heinz's royal glory could not have been realized without our support as nobles." As a special guest, Gustave was given the opportunity to make a speech in front of other guests.For the sake of respect, they stopped their activities for a moment and listened to Gustave's speech.
"Hundreds of years of the kingdom of Heinz stood, hundreds of years we were attacked by the aggressors, hundreds of years also we survive. There is no denying that the survival of this kingdom from collapse is thanks to our role, the nobles, the royal family, the, as a form of our loyalty to the king.we give troops, provide for the king, and send our family to be married.it is proof that how valuable our role is.
gustave's speech was greeted by applause and cheers from other nobles.it was somehow important for them to let their status and position remain stable, they will do everything they can even if they have to reduce their population.

"Baduts can only be fought by other clowns." Issac watches the Sera family party from his room.he shares his vision with one of the agents he sent to watch over Viscount Sera's movements.
and as he thought, instead of channeling help to his residents, he preferred to use that help for himself.even borrowing a lot of money just to throw a useless party like this.
Besides of...Issac read a report.it was a debt agreement between Viscount Sera and one of the financial institutions integrated with his company. the debt was already huge and seeing from how Viscount Sera managed her territory and finances, they did not have the capacity to return the money they had borrowed.
"It doesn't matter even if they can't return the debt. In fact, right from the start, I don't think they'll be able to return it."
In exchange for not being able to pay for it, they would definitely pawn their various strategic assets to Issac.The asset he was referring to was the Mansion they lived in, the fertile land, was, as well as some production houses that become their main source of income.although now it is not too productive because of the short-term, things will certainly become very useful later.
also, Issac had been told that the La-Sa guild had managed to negotiate with the merchants and peasants of the Grand Aria empire so that they were willing to sell their abundant harvest to sell exclusively to his company. in this way, he could carry out his other plans.
without anyone noticing, Issac's palm had gripped the entire kingdom and no one could escape that grip.
