After stirring up a scene, Hudson was left out of it. Despite ostensibly being a warlock, he was in over his head.
Even after cramming a bunch of magic knowledge, the allotted study time was too short for him to master it all.
A leopard birthing an egg, no matter how rare, is still less pressing than the letter Hudson was holding.
The debt crisis in the Moxi Duchy was about to explode, and his old friend, King George, wrote to him, pouring out his grievances.
While there was no explicit request for money, the desperation revealed in the letter was all due to financial drought.
The fact that George was writing to Hudson now appeared to be an exchange between old friends, but in reality, he was seeking advice.
The idea to issue bonds indeed came from Hudson. However, he also intentionally reminded the Moxi People to keep their debt under control.
Regrettably, debt, once instigated, is like an irresistible force, pushing one down a no-return path.
