Chapter 1
Sitting in a bland silver steel chair in front of an equally bland and undecorated wooden desk with multiple paperwork stacks covering the surface, I glanced down at the doc_u_ment detailing the revenue and expenditure of the Crownguard Household's third estate just outside of the Great City of Demacia.
The doc_u_ment detailed the weekly report of the estate's main source of income - sales of wheat, rent, taxes, and shares of profit in business ventures I invested in - and its expenditure - upkeep of the estate manor, farmhand wages, soldier wages, equipment upkeep, and the like.
After reading through it for a bit, I went down to the number for the total revenue. With a minor application in magic no one knew about simply because no one cared about an ink erasing spell, and wrote down a new number merely two hundred gold coins short of the actual total revenue. Then I moved up on the breakdown of revenue and fixed the numbers for the grain sale income.
This embezzlement was less than 1% of the total revenue of the third estate alone, but I was embezzling from all of the Crownguard estates.
It wasn't like they cared or noticed. Too stuck-up in their ”defense of the city” and training their bodies to overcome magic (with the help of the famous magic-resistant Demacia steel), the only thing they cared about was whether or not the personal retinue of the Crownguard was fit for ”service to the crown” at any given moment.
To me, my own house was archaic and entrenched in outdated concepts. They still believed in the idea of monarchy when nations like Zaun, Piltover, and Noxus (hell, even Ionia) showed the world that monarchy existed because of the power of the monarch and his followers, not its efficiency or validity.
So what if I was siphoning some money from one of the ric_h_e_s_t noble houses? It wasn't like we used it for anything useful.
F_u_c_k_i_n_g hell, my family's annual net income numbered in at over a hundred thousand gold coins from the numerous landed titles my family owned.
I considered this little skimming from the top payment for my job as the family's treasurer. Sniffing, I wrote down the adjusted numbers to the side on the yearly income sheet for the family.
