Charlotte's audit operation was inevitably met with opposition by the nobles, especially those among the Great Nobles.
Pressing the Legris Family too hard would only further intensify the situation and could even lead to the outbreak of war.
Charlotte's intent was not to exterminate the nobles, but rather to assure their loyalty and reclaim the various powers they had seized during the Castel family's absence.
War is a continuation of politics and the last resort, bound to cause destruction to the livelihood of the Castel Domain, it is best avoided if possible.
And if the Blood Demon Church had truly intervened in the affairs of the Legris Family...
Then the situation might take on another complexion entirely.
Thinking of this, Charlotte ordered,
"Sebastian, withdraw the guards to Silver Mining City and then secretly observe the Legris Family; call me immediately if there's any trouble."
"I shall obey your commands."
Sebastian bowed respectfully.
