章節 83: Chapter 83 - Past Connection

Count Ponsonby was the local noble with the largest territory around Etril. He always dreamed of becoming a succesful councilman but inherited more debts than properties alongside his titles.

As long as he serves them right, and listens to their command, the future will surely be brighter tomorrow.
