Reincarnation Monarch

"Sir, Lord Shester has sent me a message."

Nasri rushed over early enough to open the door to Lombardo's study and handed him the seal in his right hand quickly.

Lombardo also received it quickly and revealed the contents of the seal.

"... well. That's Shester. He suppressed most of the SS early."

"That's... amazing"

"Mm-hmm. Apparently a lot of the crew stayed in Audine, the Imperial Capital"

"... that again, why not?

"... either it was hard to get home... or I guess I don't have a job when I get home..."

"I see. Certainly not on my way home from jail to decorate my home town with brocade, and although the big country Lowenglin goes for it, it will be hard to find a job in some parts of the country that is recessionary and stable..."

"Mm-hmm. Valentin is a small country with a narrow national territory and small population, so he can get Social Security to go over the details, but if he's a big country, he'll do the same inside. When the national territory is that big, it is inevitable that the central eye will not be good enough. If you give too much authority to the provinces, it can also be a hotbed of corruption. It's really hard to balance around it."

"I see. So the state management of small and large countries is different?

"Mm-hmm. Clearly, I guess it's something like not even comparable. It is dangerous to think of things of different sizes as homogeneous. At least I see it as something completely different."

"Okay. I will also remember my liver as the one entrusted with the household of this honorable Schneider."

"Oh, I'm counting on you"

"Ha.... by the way, I mean I suppressed the majority of the crew, how did you convince them?

Lombardo then nodded lightly and again.

"... apparently gold... The crew had just been opened up from prison, and many were temporarily hired without being put on fixed-term duty," he said.

"I see. You won't be hiring an ex-con like that, even though you don't like the Empire."

"Mm-hmm. So it looks like they all rode Shester's invitation"

"By the way, how far? As someone entrusted with the Schneider family's livelihood, we don't know the rest of it..."

To Nasri's request, Lombardo offered a piece of paper at hand.

When Nasri received it, he quickly ran his gaze on paper and inserted the numbers written into the formula in his head.

"... very good. There is no such thing as a cost to the Schneider family at this level. Let's just say that if we hired all the rest of the crew in, we'd have absolutely no problem."

Nasri says no, he returned the piece of paper at hand to Lombardo.

Lombardo nodded satisfied when he received it in large part.

"Naturally. Chester's got nothing on him."

Lombardo said so, winking lightly toward Nasri.
