"Ann, what if we say Lord Sesar is creating flowers to decorate the garden? It should be part of the household management then."
"Oh! I never thought of it that way. Your Grace, when I succeed in making the roses, I will fill the mansion's garden with them. Please don't worry."
Sesar brightened up and agreed with Rubica. For a moment, Ann didn't know what to say.
"… but it will cost too much, Your Grace."
"Even if it is an investment? Ann, could you give me a document on how much budget we have left?"
"Yes, Your Grace."
Rubica took the document from Ann and checked how much money she could use. Sesar was asking for a lot of money. Investing on him was going to leave the household short in money for about a year.
Most noble mistresses would have stopped there, but Rubica was different.
She was an unstoppable train running toward bankruptcy.
'I must spend the entire budget by autumn.'
