Dominic and Michael had arrived in the Barony of Crassus and were inspecting the harvest stored in the warehouses. Though the journey had been exhausting, the sight of the vast troves of goods piled high in the storage quickly banished their fatigue. The warehouse was packed with chests of gold ingots and a variety of valuable items.
"To simplify transport for the move to the new territory, I converted most of the funds into gold ingots. It's much easier to move that way," Dominic explained.
Michael nodded in agreement. "That was wise of you. The total was 280,000 gold, wasn't it?"
"Yes, and after conversion, it came out to five chests of ingots. I plan to assign guards to keep them secure," Dominic replied.
Michael, deep in thought for a moment, offered a suggestion. "Why not hide the gold under the seat of my carriage? If my sisters ride in my carriage, the added security won't seem unusual."
