"Can I help him out?" The principal asked before Zach could be smuggled away to the Imperial Treasury.
"No way," the Empress Dowager was quick to shoot that down. If she let the principal into the Imperial Treasury, she would go down in history for bringing the Imperial Family into financial ruin.
The principal had the decency not to cross lines he shouldn't cross. Usually. But if he was allowed into the Treasury, there was no telling what he would or wouldn't do. That was not a risk she could take.
"...Alright." The principal harrumphed and crossed his arms in disappointment. This would have been a great opportunity to show off his knowledge to Zach and help him rob the Imperial Family blind.
The Empress Dowager ignored the principal and gestured toward Rienne.
"This is Rienne. She will keep all of you entertained while I assist Zacharia."
