System vs Rebirth

"What? They have been defeated?"

"How come they are defeated so quickly?"

The king, Duke Raymond, and several nobles held a private meeting, discussing the trade ban.

"It's not important. The most important problem will be their current condition." Duke Raymond bit his lips. "They are in dire need of support. It's going to be hard to help them because the nobles around them will take action."

"Shouldn't we use the royal army? They won't be able to act that way."

"The royal army can't be used in this case. People will just think the royal family is abusing their power."

"Then, are we going to abandon them? There will be a lot of nobles that will think we'll do the same to them in the future."

Duke Raymond bit his lips. "I could think of several plans, but we have to wait for the winter.

"There's no way they can last that long. Some citizens are even reported to have fled to Marquis Ardagan's territory."

"Does that mean we can't do anything?"

The people were concerned. Even the king didn't say anything as if he were waiting for an answer from his retainers.

Due to how swiftly Noel finished it, they didn't have enough time to react. To get enough money to support them, they would have to gather them for a long period of time so that there wouldn't be any inflation or deflation. That was why Duke Raymond was confident in helping them after the winter.

But in this situation, they simply had no choice.

Their atmosphere was similar to the one in President Matthew's office. After getting hit by Maxwell, Theressa, and Zephyr, he was doing his best to stop his company from going out of the top ten.

However, people had become a bit skeptical about trading with them, afraid that they would anger Marquis Ardagan.

In addition to the promotion that the three presidents had done, they became even more popular.
