However, there was someone that even Grand Chamberlain Sorel couldn’t hold a candle to—the Minister of Finance, Hooker. In the Kingdom, overseeing the Ministry of Finance was synonymous with holding the power to collect taxes. Tax was levied on income, but Sorel was, of course, evading taxes. How could he possibly declare the money obtained through bribery?

And Minister Hooker was aware of this. He knew, yet turned a blind eye. This was humiliating to Sorel. Still, he tried not to think about it. Thinking about it made him irritated, but as long as he didn’t, he could just think of it as something that didn’t concern him... That was how he came to terms with the situation. Since you couldn’t always get what you wanted, some sacrifices had to be made. Grand Chamberlain Sorel had experienced this necessity more than enough in his life thus far.

Before him stood said Minister of Finance. Behind him was the Minister of Domestic Affairs, Earl Harold Lawrence. Hooker had brought the other man along on this visit.

“Grand Chamberlain. There is something of which I must inform His Majesty as soon as possible. Might I be granted an audience with him now?”

Though Hooker posed it as a question, it was, naturally, an order designed to force the meeting with the king. Sorel had no choice but to comply.

“Of course, Your Excellencies. Please follow me.”

Sorel stood up first and knocked on the door of the king’s office.

“Your Majesty, Earls Hooker and Lawrence are here to request your permission on an urgent matter.”

“Let them in.”

Sorel did just that. His job ended here. He needed to withdraw from the room quickly. Hooker was especially strict on such matters of formality. Even so, Sorel heard the voices from behind him as he walked away.

“Your Majesty, it has come to light that we’ll need more funds than expected to repair the collapsed Lowe Bridge. As such, we would like to temporarily allocate some of the development funds for Vedra to the bridge’s repair...”

That was all Sorel heard before closing the door behind him.

“Vedra”? What in the world is that? I’ve never heard of it...

Being the grand chamberlain meant he was in charge of the king’s official duties. But this was something wholly unfamiliar to him, an unusual circumstance when it came to knowing what went on within the walls of this castle... It made him very curious.

However, Sorel chose to seal his curiosity away. There were many things in this world he was better off not knowing. This was especially true in the world of nobility. And even more so in the royal castle, where, in some cases, knowing certain things could put your life in danger.

Yes, best not to know about things like “Vedra.”
