(Florentia's POV)
"Remeasurement?"
Yovanes tilted his head.
Then the Emperor's aide, who handed the papers over, frowned and said to Duigi Angenas.
"If you are concerned that we made a mistake in the calculation now---."
"Calculation is not the problem!"
The Patriarch of Angenas shouted in frustration.
What is it then?
"Please re-measure the land itself to make sure the size of each estate is properly sized!"
"That makes no sense..."
"There's a limit to how you can force it even if you try!"
Most nobles shook their heads and clicked their tongues.
However, Duigi Angenas held his shameless face straight and looked only at Emperor Yovanes.
Probably by this point, he seemed to have no doubts, believing that the Emperor would side with him.
And I watched.
He took a glance at Perez in his side.
"Patriarch of Angenas."
I slowly clasped my fingers and called Duigi Angenas.
"What, Deputy Patriarch of Lombardi?"
Patriarch Angenas replied with displeasure when I called him.
"Are you saying that the difference is so small that you can't accept it?"
"That's right."
I nodded a couple of times and this time I asked Emperor Yovanes.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are you reluctant to make a judgement only because of the slight difference in size?"
"Well, that's right."
"So, is it still the same that the size of the estate should be the only standard for selecting a representative family?"
"It is."
"Then I'll help you decide, Your Majesty."
I said so and slowly got up from my seat.
There's nothing urgent.
It's just a board that goes the way I planned it.
As I moved step by step, countless eyes moved together.
My whole body was thrilled by the hot gaze from head to toe.
I presented the documents from the mansion to Emperor Yovanes.
That's what I cherished in my safe.
Rattle
Empress Lavigne was surprised and raised her body halfway which made the chair made a small noise.
"What's this?"
Emperor Yovanes asked me.
I looked back at Empress Lavigne and replied.
"That is the contract that the Angenas family made when they borrowed money from the Pellet Corporation."
Did you have a hard time finding this?
"Henforek's estate is held as collateral."
The day I attended the nobility conference, the identity of the bundle of papers Claryvan brought was the contract he wrote with Angenas.
