Chapter 50
A few months ago.
‘So they’re trading with the Tabanus Guild.’
The blizzards that had relentlessly battered the North all winter had only just subsided.
Viscount Rebous Kerata, who had come for a routine report, received an unexpected order.
‘Gradually reduce the delivery quantities.’
‘...Excuse me?’
‘And on the day I instruct you, release all the stockpiled goods you’ve set aside from the reduced deliveries to the Tabanus Guild in one go.’
Viscount Kerata had been visibly flustered by the inexplicable command.
Ferio usually never interfered with the affairs of other nobles unless a serious problem arose. He didn’t even show interest.
Among the northern nobles, the most famous example of this was the new etiquette tutor of House Voreoti.
Even for his beloved daughter, he had sent a separated couple as private tutors.
Ferio’s disinterest in others was practically legendary.
