In the evening of the same day, Duke Cassius and Rachel returned from a business trip to the northern capital. This visit was the result of recent news.
It turned out that one of the minor nobles living on the northern border had been robbing grain storage and other food warehouses all this time. For a lot of money, he resold resources to the Southerners, thereby causing his own people to suffer. This problem has become especially acute in the current winter period, when ordinary people were forced to starve because of the actions of the baron. To solve this, they were not even afraid to complain to Duke Cassius.
The duke, who suppressed any manifestation of corruption on his land, immediately took action and treated the guilty nobleman harshly. Having deprived him of all his acquired property, he drove him away from the northern capital, before forcing him to pay huge compensation to the peasants. Needless to say, after that his life was completely destroyed?
