Chapter 555: Taking Care of Yourself is Not Evil
Alwin only attended when he was required as the Master of the Magic Tower. And he still wore his cloak that hid his face. He did not want to have to dress up and all that; and maintain all the manners and etiquette necessary.
Especially since he had been living quite a free life doing what he wanted on Ferdinand’s Island.
"It is indeed tiring. So, we hire maids to do it for us. My maids do it all without me having to lift a finger. Most nobles do. In this manner, more work opportunities are created for those who are willing to do the job. Businesses also prosper due to the need for such."
Only when her maids could not be with her, did Arabella have to do it on her own.
"I see, it also helps the economy due to the work and business opportunities it creates from the production of the products to the services it creates. And through it, the nobles could maintain their appearance without much effort on doing everything themselves," Alwin nodded his head.
"Yes, but they also follow a strict diet and set aside their time for it despite having to do a lot of work. So, in the end, they have less sleep. They also must work hard to earn more money and assets to afford their servants."
In Arabella’s case, she had to perform well as the Empress so the people would not think the budget allotted to her was going to waste. Of course, she also had to ensure her husband remained enamored with her or she could be removed from her place if a third party appeared.
Nobles themselves knew how valuable money was since they were the ones who handled it a lot and ensured the market flowed well so they could keep earning in their business ventures and provide for their households and the people who served them.
When commoners began acquiring properties and became more and more progressive by providing services and selling products; and later some became big business owners, the nobles realized how valuable businesses were, so they also ensured their families maintained several progressive business ventures.
So that even in the worst case that their titles were revoked, they could rely on the business and investments they themselves put up.
