Although it hasn’t yet spread in society, what will happen once the society learns of them obtaining such large amount of money?
Since money is money, it is easy to imagine the even more troublesome things to happen.
In Erwin-kun’s case there is the possibility of inducing something at his home like forcing him into marriage for money.
Even for Ina-san and Luise-san, there is a potential of their families scheming something.
“As for my family, it will be better if they only tell me to lend or hand over some money.” (Erwin)
If things don’t go well, it’s not unlikely that his blood relatives dispatch an assassin to inherit the legacy after Erwin-kun’s death.
It such frightful amount of money that they would go to such an extent.
Particularly for Erwin-kun, whose relationship with his elder brothers didn’t appear to be on good terms.
“For me it’s the same, I think.” (Ina)
“In our case it’s even more grave since we are women.” (Luise)
Since women basically can’t succeed a household, they can’t even pick the worst choice of self-support as noble with the power of money, like Erwin-kun.
“Because our spearmanship dojo has spread all over the country, it’s not unthinkable that it will become a talk of handing over the money.” (Ina)
“Huh? If it’s Ina-san’s family’s spearmanship dojo, it seemed to be a fairly major school.” (Breithilde)
“The ancestors gained the dojo administration rights and the possession of full mastery in the combat art from the main office. But if it’s about money, the main office stands at the top…” (Ina)
“Us as well, probably…” (Luise)
I see, if it’s the standpoint of the top at the dojo headquarters of a school spread within the kingdom with authority over the money, the other dojo masters will have a position similar to repeatedly having to bow their heads, even if they are poor instructors.
As retainers, they also have ways to some kind of success in life.
As a result, it’s a matter about whether the parents of the two will be able to resist that temptation.
“I can’t feel there be nothing but demerits with such excessive amount of money.” (Erwin)
“I see. But it’s probably impossible to turn it down.” (Breithilde)
The kingdom has given them such a large amount of money as apology to having Baron Baumeister’s group exposed to such dangers.
No, it’s different.
I read the written report by Burkhart, but the kingdom isn’t particularly incurring a loss here.
They are certainly paying a large amount of money, but in exchange they are getting their hands on assets that are a lot more worth than the money paid.
If you look at it in long-term, they probably arranged their calculations to get back into a positive balance if it’s just that amount of money.
If it’s that Finance Minister, this much is in range of hypothesis.
“Eeh! Is it hopeless?” (Erwin)
Such things such as 『Rather than returning it to the kingdom, hand over all of it to me!』 or 『What rudeness to return it to His Majesty.』
