A shard of crystal landed next to his cheek.

“Marquis, do you recall what you said when you first made me an offer to invest?”

“I apologize once again.”

He has no excuse for this.
When he first learned that the ship carrying spices was having a problem and would be delayed, he ignored it.

He didn’t expect the waves to sink all five of them.

It’s not only him who lost a fortune.
The marquis took the initiative in attracting investors, and more than ten nobles, including the king, staked their lives on it.

“What about the merchant, Ballint?”

Fearing that the king would change his mind, Marquis Devorsen exited the room without looking back.
He sat at his desk and performed numerous calculations to determine how much money was still in the treasury and how long it could last, but there was only one answer.

“Damn it.”
