Chapter 163: CLXIII. Kidnapping
"Duke, this way please."
The organizer’s staff said to Mr. Sefer with utmost respect, for he was a Great Noble from the Southeast Province, and could not be neglected.
Mr. Sefer was not here to purchase anything; his home’s collection was vast, and it was necessary to clear some for business purposes.
He was not a person of extravagance from Duguli, dressing quite modestly in inexpensive casual clothes, and using a cane only lightly plated with silver. His hair was greying, showing he was middle-aged.
Beside him stood a pretty young woman, dressed much more lavishly; it was hard to tell if she was his wife or his daughter.
He was also followed by a fierce-looking confidant, serving as a bodyguard.
After the Lord’s Bill was enacted,
Sefer’s father was the most impacted.
With their family’s strength, they could have easily become a Feudal Official, wielding great power, and wealth was no issue. They owned nearly half the province; such things were merely numbers to them, enjoying the world’s top power.
Unfortunately, after the enactment of the Lord’s Bill, there was a power reshuffle—no one could compete with the Emperor.
His status plummeted, no longer able to levy taxes or keep troops—how could that still be called a Lord? He was merely a manager.
