It had been two days since the former crown prince led more than forty thousand soldiers to the eastern side of the empire.
For two days, Athenia had also been whispering hints of rebellion into the ears of several citizens. With the rising food prices due to Oz and his subordinates' actions, it wouldn't take long before the citizens began to demonstrate.
Today, Mariel once again accompanied Athenia in carrying out her mission. They walked through the city's slums, asking the citizens about their conditions. Occasionally, Athenia would take out platinum or gold coins to give them. And, of course, she never forgot to mention that she could do nothing because her father held all the power.
They spent time on the streets until late afternoon.
"You spent 840,000 escal today," Mariel said as they walked toward the former residence of Marquis Sergey. "Combined with the previous two days, you've spent exactly 2 million escal."
