“How did that rumor get out?!” Drane shouted at the sales clerk who had brought him the news.

The sales clerk was just relaying information that was going around town, so there was no way to answer his question. Drane understood this, of course, but he couldn’t help but yell at someone after hearing the rumors:

“The second son of the Relinas Trade Company destroyed the branch he was appointed to in just one day.”

“He fired the previous branch manager and all of the rest of management as soon as he arrived and declared he would treat the employees like slaves. Then, most of the workers quit and he was unable to keep the business running.”

“The local lord, other merchants, and everyone else in the territory won’t even give him the time of day.”

“Every merchant that worked with that branch took their business to another shop.”

“Relinas Trade Company doesn’t receive local products from that city anymore.”

And sure enough, the shipments that had been regularly coming in from the Tavolas branch had stopped.

“Urgh...”

The damage and loss of credibility with Tavolas was one thing, but as it stood, there was no way his second son, Roderich, could be appointed as the successor of the business. Drane’s eldest son with his rightful wife, Russel, was an earnest and honest man, and the obvious choice as successor. In order to have Roderich, the son of his second wife (a concubine) become his successor over the objections of his first wife’s family, he had appointed him to the Tavolas branch, which was already on an upswing. It would have been easy to give all of the credit for the branch’s success to his second son, but rumors of the branch being run to the ground in just a day because of the second son’s idiotic actions had spread like wildfire.

“But Roderich only reported that he had arrived and hasn’t mentioned anything since! Just what is going on? And these rumors have spread far too quickly! It’s almost as if someone spread them on purpose... I can’t imagine Muno and his team would do this, judging by his demeanor. Besides, he’ll be looking for a new job, and he’s not foolish enough to make an enemy of me or to go around speaking ill of his previous employer. They were always a straitlaced bunch, after all... They were laid off by Roderich instead of quitting voluntarily, so they aren’t at fault for any problems that arise at that branch. Then...could this be the work of those who are trying to improve Russel’s status? But they wouldn’t do something that could damage Relinas’ reputation and trust... Maybe this was devised by a competitor, or some small-to-mid-sized company... Or did we fall victim to people who simply enjoy seeing major businesses fail? Damn it...”
