"Hehe, these people don’t know you’re the leader of a noble household." Josephine smiled. ""You’re much more valuable than these old nobles by the streets."

"That’s true." Josephine’s smile disappeared. "I have once worked for an old noble who was in the same situation. He didn’t buy much into the industry in the kingdom and the wealth he brought along the way was lost. A few days later, we were separated as he could no longer support us. To see a household of a few hundred years collapsing just like that, sigh…"
Garen didn’t utter a single word as he listened to Josephine.
