System vs Rebirth

"I want you to compensate the kingdom for the embezzlement you've done. The total is here."

"This…" The Count gulped down while making a weird smile. "Miss Anna. I don't know what you're talking about…"

"Embezzlement of Kingdom's funds, smuggling goods to another kingdom, and tax evasion. We have the evidence. If you don't pay…" Anna narrowed her eyes.

"This…" The Count scratched the back of his head before looking at the paper. The figure written on the paper was bigger than he originally thought.

Yes, this was the organization's job. If the royal family took action personally, they might be able to receive a full reward. However, they used the organization to take care of this situation so that they could extort the target.

For example, the figure written on the paper was actually 1.5 times the amount he had to pay legally.

Of course, any sane person would try to pay legally instead of getting extorted like this. However, paying this legally would mean they had revealed their own crimes.

Many people would know about it and they had no choice but to get prosecuted. That was why for the Count's crime, there was no other way. He had to accept the punishment and pay more.

Though, if the Royal Family was always this just, they would be hated by a lot of nobles. Even though the organization existed and got all sorts of information for them, they simply stored them and allowed the corrupt nobles to exist.

It was easier to control them this way. At the very least, they would focus on their corruption instead of thinking about a rebellion. And if they went out of line, the Royal Family would use all the information they had stored to weaken them or even take them out.
