Kapitel 68: Chapter 68: Control Public Opinion, Use It for My Benefit!

Robel continued, "Your Highness, if we forcibly shut down the newspaper office without the court's support, public opinion will be extremely unfavorable to the Royal Family..."

"As you know, a few years ago there was a fuss over something called 'freedom of the press'. The Royal Police arrested some people, and as a result, a large number of articles criticizing the Royal Family emerged. In the end, His Majesty had to release them."

This was the peculiar situation in France at the time.

Under the guidance of the nobility, novelists and tabloid journalists frequently fabricated 'little stories' about the Royal Family. And as long as these people weren't caught red-handed, they wouldn't encounter any trouble. For the common people, reading various scandalous anecdotes about the Royal Family had become a routine pastime.

On the contrary, any sign of dissatisfaction from the Royal Family would be seized upon and blown out of proportion, leading to all sorts of criticism.
