Chapter 195: “...”

For now, though, Aurora wondered if Duke White had known about this problem and whether he had thought of a way to figure it out.

Because she was sure that the Yellow Kingdom’s King would never give Duke White a long time to solve this matter.

He had a lot of things to manage.

And Duke White’s problem was only one of them.

One that if Duke White didn’t solve, the Yellow Kingdom’s King would not hesitate to make sure he would not be able to live well.

Aurora couldn’t wait for the next report.

The corner of her lips curled up slightly. It might be evil, but she took pleasure in seeing these people brought ruins to themselves.

And it meant... her plans that she had piled up over the years were not for nothing.

She knew how to solve it.

After all, she had to leave a back door for herself.

But now that they have already kicked her out, they have to be prepared to face these problems by themselves.

How fun~.

...

The Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City, Duke White Residence

As Aurora had guessed, Duke White’s situation was not very good right now. After the engagement’s matter, which he had known in advance, happened, the butler came to him with the annual report as usual.

However, he was shocked when he found out that the number of gold he could use was les than half compared to last year.

"How come it’s so few this year?" Duke White asked, unable to accept what was written in the report in front of him.

The Head Butler was looking at Duke White with pained expression. He knew very well that Duke White was the one who manage the financial and technically everything in the White Family’s territory.

But...

He didn’t do anything that worth the nobility title in his hand in the past few years. Several times, the Head Butler felt disappointed. But as a servant, what could he do but to continue doing his work?

He didn’t want this either.

Now the situation was already so severe and there was no Aurora to help him recover some losses through some other methods. He could only come to Duke White and try to ask him to manage this.

Even if the chance was low, the butler didn’t have any other choices.

Moreover, he had to figure out a way to stop Duke White from squandering their already pitiful funds. Because if it was known that the dukedom have no money, it was estimated that there would be people who would come and question Duke White.

Such a large territory and the tax is not enough for them to live?

How could they believe it?

But with Duke White’s lavish spending coupled with his wife, the Butler knew that the money earned by Duke White’s territory could never last long.

When Aurora was still around, she could still figure out a way to earn more money through other sources. After all, she was not so stupid that she would do nothing and let her own family ruined the entire dukedom.

However, it was still limited.

And Aurora herself knew that there was no point in doing these all the time because if her father and mother didn’t change, the situation in White Dukedom would never improve.

Without Aurora..

The Head Butler was sure that the entire White Dukedom might be heading towards their own destruction.

The power that Aurora held before she was banished was a lot.

And there were not many people in White Dukedom who could replace her. Even if Duke White asked him to be the one to manage it...

The Head Butler had to respectfully admit that he was incapable.

"There’s no new source of income for White Family’s territory and there’s a lack of funds for development," The Head Butler said slowly. "The main reason why the funds are lacking is because there’s no Miss Aurora to help earning money through other sources and the emergency funds prepared by the previous duke has run out."

"Emergency funds?" Duke White was stunned.

This was the first time he heard about the emergency funds. After all, the head Butler had no intention of telling Duke White about this matter in the beginning.

The emergency funds was something that the previous duke prepared in case the territory suffered from bad weather and bad seasons. Since White Dukedom relied on farming, it was inevitable that they would have to rely on nature more than any other territory.

For this reason, they needed the emergency funds more.

But because of this Duke White, the funds were already run out.

If there was still Aurora present, the Head Butler would want to go to her and ask for some help. Aurora’s ideas so far had helped the White Family’s territory to a certain degree and the Head Butler was relieved with her help.

He hoped that he could influence Duke White slowly but surely to change.

But before he could ask Duke White to change and do more for the territory, it was Aurora who was being abandoned first.

The Head Butler: "..."

If it was possible, he really wanted to shake Duke White strongly and asked what was in his mind.

How could he do that kind of thing to his own daughter?

But in the end, the Head Butler had to focus on the problem on hand. He didn’t know what Duke White wanted to do with this situation.

"This..." Duke White frowned.

He could see that with this funds, he couldn’t even share anything with his wife because most of the funds would be used for the mansion’s operational cost.

The problem was, Duchess Isabella would never accept this.

She loved parties so much that she almost spent every single day partying whenever it was possible. If the funds were suddenly cut off, Duchess Isabella would never be willing to accept this.

"What should I do?" Duke White asked.

The Head Butler looked at Duke White and took a deep breath.
