Chapter 356: Enlightenment (3)
Visconti's young Duke, Alfred, was lost in a happy dilemma.
If he were to compare his current state of mind, it would be akin to having one billion won in his bank account but being unable to decide how to spend it, seriously contemplating the best way to use it.
“How much should I educate the common people?”
No matter how much education he provided, if he followed the direction Fabio instructed...
He would undoubtedly earn the sincere respect of all the serfs and laborers, and his power would become immeasurably stronger than it was now.
Previously, he had to watch his back around the other nobles, but now, just as the emperor could strip titles with the slightest pretext, Alfred was no longer bound by their influence.
‘Duke Sforza also reduced someone to a country bumpkin with just a few words.’
Although he had not been born an emperor, and thus could not wield such authority, at least within his own territory, he would be able to control everything as he wished.
“But I can’t just stop here and be satisfied.”
Power, honor, lust, money... these were things one could never be satisfied with by taking just one bite.
There might be people who had never tasted these things, but once they did, they would continuously crave them.
To obtain them, a person would even sell their soul to the devil.
