223, Grand Duke Joseph's last estate

Dobin didn't get promoted.

Not long ago, it couldn't be blamed on Charles.

It wasn't that he hadn't reported it; it's just that the higher-ups had always failed to approve it.

But now, the responsibility fall squarely on Charles's shoulders.

With his continual promotions, he had long received the authority to approve the positions of many, including Dobin's, though it involved some bureaucratic wrangling and wasn't a direct promotion.

So, Charles had no problem providing Anatasiya with a compensation of a Level 41 Class 1 Clerk and Belisa with a Level 45 Class 1 Assistant.

Poor Dobin.

Charles could swear to the heavens that he had no intention of deliberately suppressing this loyal subordinate; he had simply forgotten about it.
