Migente Ivan entered the office with his fatherās medicine.
āCome here, Migente.ā
Lord Ivan, who was sitting in an armchair by the window with a tired face, called Migente.
āI brought you some medicine, Father.ā
āWell, yes, come here.ā
Migente looked at his father drinking medicine with a tired face.
The long-suffering chronic disease worsened and not long ago Lord Ivan was able to get up after he was bedridden. The family doctor said he shouldnāt overwork himself like this but the Lord didnāt listen.
Migente, who knows his fatherās sincerity that never turns back, decided, instead of stopping Lord Ivan, he shared the work by taking charge of the internal affairs of the territory.
However, that doesnāt mean the worry for his father is gone.
āYouāll be in big trouble, Father.ā
āThis is not a problem.ā
Lord Ivan said with a mixed face.
He hasnāt slept well a night since the landslide.
When he closed his eyes, the roar on the night of the landslide and the screams of people seemed to come back.
āThe people of the lands suffer more than I do.ā
It was Lord Ivan who felt more responsible for this than anyone else.
And because he knew how his father felt, he silently helped his father with his work, but today he was carefully gathering his courage.
āWhy donāt you get some relief money?ā
But Lord Ivan ignored the words.
He woke up from his seat, pouring all of the medicine left in the bottle into his mouth, and wiping the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
āIāll be back late tonight. Iāll deliver Triva wood to the Onyx estate. In the meantime, take care of the guests of the mansion.ā
āIsnāt this just wood, just send people instead. No, Iāll just go. Father, get some rest.ā
āNo, I, the owner of the household, should show my face to ease their resentment.ā
āIf you really want to help them, just accept the Imperialās relief.ā
āā¦Iām going to go now.ā
āFather!ā
āDonāt you know yet!ā
Eventually, there was an old story between him and Imperial Family.
āThereās nothing better involved with Durelliās Imperial Family! This happened because Ronchent brought the Imperial Family into Ivanās business!ā

Lord Ivan, who screamed until his veins stood on his wrinkled forehead, stumbled for a moment.
Hence in an instant, Migenteās eyes lit up.
āFather!ā
Migente quickly approached Lord Ivan and helped him sit back in the chair.
āWhoaā¦ā
Lord Ivan said with a deep sigh.
āItās all my fault. I shouldnāt have left the family to Ronchent.ā
āBut my brother had a point. There will be a battle for the throne soon. So there is no harm in cooperating with the Empressā family, Angenas. My brother says that the Crown Prince is the First Prince anyway.ā
āHa?ā
Lord Ivan asked Migente with a snort as if he was elated.
āNow youāve seen the Second Prince. How did he look? Do you still think the First Prince will be the Crown Prince, Migente?ā
Migente avoided answering.
Lord Ivan clicked his tongue as if he knew it would.
āOkay. I knew my eldest son was not bright, but I didnāt know he was blind.ā1
āMy brotherās judgment about His Majesty the Second Prince may have been wrong. If so, wouldnāt it be even more important to receive a subsidy from the Imperial Family? It is the Second Princeās first assignment, so we should cooperate well.ā

Lord Ivan was silent for a moment at Migenteās words.
Maybe heās changing his mind?
Migente waited anxiously.
But Lord Ivan shook his head soon.
āAngenasā money always has a tail. No matter how much the amercement is, you donāt know what youāll say later if you get it.ā
Lord Ivan, who said so, stood up.
āItās right to solve it without the help of the Imperial Family, Migente.ā
āFatherā¦ā
Lord Ivan walked out of the office, and Migente, who was left alone, sighed like a habit.
His father was originally more of a person who liked to help others than to get help.
However, at a critical time, the illness worsened and anger at himself and distrust of the Empress were mixed.
They are denying the reality that they should receive any help.
As time passes, his father will understand, but it is the Northern citizens who suffer in the meantime.
āIt canāt be like this.ā
Then, Migenteās eyes caught a piece of paper on the householderās desk.
It was an emergency report, seeing the red seal on it.
āHis Highness, the Second Prince, manages the relief money himself and distributes food to the people of Ivan and nearby landsā¦ā
Ivan was handing out relief supplies, but it was far from enough.
It was a problem that could be solved by leaving the North to buy food and manpower, but right away, Ivan ran out of money.
Looking down at the report for a moment, Migente folded it in half and put it in his arms.
āYou may not be able to hide it completely, but you can buy time.ā
Migente, who was leaving the office so quietly, happened to see Perez driving back to the mansion.
Itās already been five days since the Princeās party arrived in the North.+
In the meantime, Lady Lombardy and Sir Luman spent time leisurely in the mansion, but the Second Prince was so busy that he couldnāt even face each other properly.
So he wondered, is it because they distributed food themselves.
After watching Perez from the window for a moment, Migente returned to his office.
And this morning he left the office again, simply picking up some of the papers he was reading.
It was strange.
What heās doing right now was a great deal.
Although he is a son, he could have been convicted of disobedience to Lord Ivan.
