Count Pablo looked around the village that he all but owned.
There was not a single person in this village who was not under his debt, yet they were all trying to defy him by letting someone else have his treasure.
'These ants refused to give me the rights to that mana mine no matter what I did to them. But they gave it to that kid just because she asked. How dare they discriminate against me!'
The Count felt annoyed and angry at the same time. But he plastered a smile and went to the mayor's office.
"Mayor, I am here to ask for payment once more. Would you not consider giving me those mines of yours? I will forgive all your debts if you do that-"
"There is no longer a need for that, Count Pablo. Here, I will repay all the debt and the interest we have accumulated over the years. Are you satisfied now?"
