Martell's of Ravenhurst, they were a prominent marquis family in the kingdom of Ravenhurst. Specifically, Airi Martell born into the prominent family she was raised with great care and luxury living a comfortable life as a noble daughter without any inconvenience.
However, it all came to ruin when the gold mines of Martells their main source of income dried up.
Airi was 8 at that time.
Just cause their mines dried up the Martells didn't fire the miners and other workers under them, using their assests they started a new bussiness.
However, lacking expertise in anything other than mining operations, all their endeavors ended in failure.
Their treasury ran dry, debts piled up, and the marquis's wife passed away from illness. Furthermore, riots erupted among the vassals, worsening the situation.
Distressed by this dire reality, the marquis turned to narcotics. He squandered all the family's possessions on drugs and eventually resorted to selling Airi's sister in an underground transaction to feed his addiction.
Learning of this situation, the Estromark Kingdom, unable to trust the governance of the incompetent marquis family, seized their assets, leaving Airi alone to fend for herself.
Every day, she scrounged for scraps in the unsafe back alleys, enduring beatings and kicks. In the midst of such a harsh life, Airi made a strong resolve.
If only she had money, she could have continued living a happy life. She vowed to learn how to earn money.
From then on, Airi became a servant in a merchant's house, gaining knowledge and eventually becoming independent.
Her business acumen flourished, and she grew to become a wealthy merchant, developing port towns, fostering foreign trade, and becoming the head of the most profitable commercial guild in the kingdom.
At the young age of 15, she assumed the position of leader of the commercial union, and a marriage alliance was arranged with the royal family, recognizing Airi's achievements and abilities. She was also declared as candidacy for the position of head of state.
Just like Saffron, so technically she is an enemy of my cousin sister Saffron. Well, that's Airi Martell's background.
By the way, I, Ryker, bought her sister in an underground transaction and turned her into a drug-addled slave and my personal sex relife. Therefore, as revenge against me, I will be captured and tortured before tossing me into space debri by Airi.
Remembering the scene where I was broken under the influence of drugs, foaming at the mouth and trembling naked. I felt chills.
"Sheeeshh..."
I definitely need to repay the favor.
In the game, Airi's life was disrupted by the failure of the business and the loss of money. Therefore, what I must do is provide funds to the Marquis family and support their business operations.
Well, I could just avoid buying her sister and turning her into my pet. However, better safe than sorry.
To achieve that, money is indeed necessary. And not just a small amount, but a staggering sum.
Yet...
"I don't have any money at all!!" I exclaimed as I read through the documents.
"Duke, all the memebers for the meeting have already arrivied."
Now, it's time to see the members I have in my pocket.
"I'm really just a humble person, but I've been serving as the mayor for generations. My name is Ron."
A humble man with a large build, Mayor Ron! Man, he has even greater physique than Genral Lorenzo.
"I used to be quite unruly in the past, but now I've mellowed out and, well, I'm serving as the head of the Merchant Guild. I'm Pond."
The head of the Merchant Guild, Pond, who boasts about his past misdeeds!
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late from fooling around in town. I'm Cheek, in charge of security and such."
A playboy and the head of security, Cheek!
"That replacement for the rotten magistrate is... such a cute little boy... Haa, haa, uhuhu."
Just barely an older sister in terms of age, around 20 maybe, Karen, in charge of judicial matters, tax collection, and administrative assistance as the assistant magistrate, with a Shotacon tendency!
'Shit, am I really going to become ELON MUSK with these people in my hand??'
"... Are you okay?"
I hear, General Lorenzo's concerned whisper as I sigh in low tune.
"Well, how should I put it, it seems there are no decent individuals here."
"Haha, what are you talking about? That's perfect!"
You guys, my lovely guys, I'll push all of you to death by work!
