Chapter 323
Day 76 Late Night, The Capital
In the end, not even 30% of noble families remained. And the remaining decent noble families had their strength reduced, leaving them with little spare strength to create branch families.
However, those that were connected to the corrupted nobles, wouldnt ever be allowed to assume a public post, enter into the service of some noble house, or be restored in rank. We lack both noble houses and personnel, but the black-haired boy and his associates flat out refused becoming nobility.
Handing over all of the achievements to the Royal Family without taking any rewards and refusing to accept a rank, and having no interest in fame and honor.
The only thing he wants is apparently Affection Rating, as I understood, it an important item which prevents one from being scolded despite doing nothing wrong, but after checking the palaces vaults and records, just in case, I found nothing of the sort I wouldve been shocked if there was such a thing there.
Well, allowing him to quietly carry off some stuff from the Royal Treasure, can be considered a sort of a gratitude, even if in form only, but considering that its a treasure of a broke Royal Family without anything of value left there, it wouldve hardly been enough to make up to him even if he took everything.
Mellotosam, we dont have enough noble families. Its going to hinder proper administration, do you have any capable individuals who can be given a title? Im sure you have lots of such people in the Frontier, so gimme some.
Nope. Also, nobility has low popularity in the Frontier, you know? Our house, for once, is quite poor, and the overall image of nobility is Dangerous, Arduous, Will be teased by the boy, so there hardly would be anyone interested in becoming one.

It was an unpopular profession! No, thats actually the correct outlook. If people look with envy at nobility who are supposed to work and fight for their sake, then there is something very wrong going on. But to think there is such an opposition to receiving a title, is Omui doing alright?
But thats the Count of the Frontier, so this much is expected.
House Omuis history is a series of endless fights and death against the strongest monsters without any assistance or support. Thats why no one wants to become a noble themselves. And thats why everyone admires and idolizes them. A great difference from the Royal Family.
But to think that being teased by the boy is a part of nobilitys image
Reporting, they took the bait. End of report.
What do you mean, end of report! Are the boy and his companions safe, is probably a silly question, they obviously are But what about the numbers?
A message from Terrysel arrived. The boy and his companions became bait, luring in all of the rebellious nobles by flaunting such a last chance to them.
If they go out defenseless and unarmed, bringing the Princess and the young lady of the Frontier, then surely, the nobles would rush to abduct them, and if they are that stupid, then they would have no one to blame for their downfall but themselves.
In fact, the letter that previously came from the Frontier is the perfect answer to that.
For what reason the nobles of the country awaiting its destruction at the hands of dungeon masters are picking a fight with a person capable of slaying those dungeon masters? If this is a suicide attempt then please dont come here and die on your own. By Omui.
that letter marked the breakdown of negotiations, which led to the split in the Kingdom. The culprit responsible for that letter is currently sitting next to me, monopolizing a massage chair.
But that is the answer. All those things that made the nobles go blind with greed, be it the maidens beauty, the enormous wealth, or royal blood, are nothing more than a nice extra, while their true nature is that of Dungeon Slayers.
Trying to abduct the strongest combat unit on the continent If they were capable of pulling off such a feat, they wouldve been able to kill a dungeon master on their own, dont they understand that?
The beauty of the maidens and two royal coins that he purposely flashed in their faces, overwhelmed the nobles with greed. And with them underestimating him due to the effect of the theater play, they ended up completely duped.
Who moved money where under what pretext and how it was hidden is written down in great detail As expected, there were accomplices, huh.
First provincial officials would embezzle, and report falsified numbers to their local lord, then, the lord of the domain would embezzled themselves and only then pay their share of tax to the Kingdom, which is then embezzled by the Kingdoms bureaucracy before it makes its way into the treasury.
The money that reached us was pocketed multiple times and all of the numbers falsified. Everything was rotten to the very core.
With this 70% of the officials are going to disappear too. The entire administration will have to be rebuilt from zero. But its possible with this book.
The entire structure of the pointless rights, interests, and concessions is already written down here without any need to investigate it, so everything can be handled with just a third of the initial budget and manpower. In the end, 70% were simply embezzling money without doing any work anyway.
And that is on top of being paid a large salary.
The suggestions are listed with the descriptions of procedures that have to be followed to carry them out, potential issues that might arise, and ways to counter them. With this book not only government officials, but even regional lords and even the King might as well be mere decorations.
Simply following this is enough. But even if we follow this book to the letter, there is no future for the country unless we obtain a proper understanding of it. To govern this Kingdom for the ages to come we have to develop the ability on par with this book.
Not to mention that the Kingdom was saved.
The writings are perfectly compiled and backed up by thorough research. In other words, everything was settled from the beginning. It means that it was already decided that the Kingdom is to die and be established anew.
Just how much time it took to carry out such a meticulous investigation, and then compile, understand, and calculate all of the vast information involved? Such a terrific amount of survey and reports would require several years of work from an entire country.
Moreover, not only does it mention what should be done, but also what action will lead to which result, a blueprint for the Kingdoms future.
So this is the power that gave the Frontier a new life Im just being handed everything on a silver platter.
The same goes for the Frontier. And the Frontiers version is even more detailed than this. Its alright.
So something even more amazing than this exists?! From what I heard, there are all sorts of books, from those on specific industrial and agricultural policies to public works schedules and budget plans, from mine development plans to new crops, city plans, flood control, and even defense plans.
Makes sense that the territory will be reborn. Its enough to found a new country.
In other words, they couldve abandoned the Kingdom, propping up Omui as a new state, while leaving the Kingdom to its demise.
Thats what it must mean. Thats how far we have driven the Frontier into the corner.
Reporting, all of the nobles troops were captured and taken into custody. The noble district was devastated and collapsed in the process. Its currently being converted into an empty lot. End of report.
So thats why they went outside to lure them out. Now, even if the nobles wont be executed, they will have nothing left, losing their rank, mansions, and assets. Yes, just like those orphans.
In other words, they were outraged for the orphans. The Kingdom and the nobles are just a little something that happened along the way.
Those that bullied the children were bullied out of everything in turn, while we ended up getting saved for the sake of creating the future for them, getting handed those books for that purpose. As if saying, follow through with your Royal Family for the People(children) properly.
We were entrusted with the future of the children that we once failed. We have to carry this through. The thing we were entrusted with is way too great after all.
