Charlotte raised her eyebrows, her eyes passed over Quasimodo and Sebas, and she nodded slightly:

"Can."

…

One after another, Charlotte and Baron Chalon entered the manor study.

As soon as he entered the study, Baron Sharon couldn't help but ask:

"Lord Charlotte, do you know about the family affairs and the territory?"

"Quasimodo has sent a message to the territory and summoned several viscounts and barons to come to Boulder."

Charlotte replied.

As she said that, she glanced at Baron Chalon again:

"But... I haven't received a reply."

Baron Sharon's expression suddenly felt awkward.

He coughed lightly and explained:

"Lord Charlotte, you don't know something. Last month, there were several conflicts between the Castel Territory and the Principality of Vlad. The magic tower for communication was damaged and has not been repaired."

Principality of Vlad?

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

The Principality of Vlad is one of the twelve grand duchies of the Crescent Kingdom, and is also a neighbor of the Earl of Castells. The relationship with the Principality of Bold has always been delicate.

For a long time, the Count of Castells, an enclave of the Principality of Bold, has been in constant conflict with the Principality of Vlad due to commercial competition and territorial disputes.

"The magic tower that sent the message is broken? Are you saying that the territory may not have received the message?"

Charlotte asked with a frown.

"Probably."

Baron Chalon thought for a while and answered.

Such a coincidence?

Charlotte's frown deepened.

She thought for a moment and continued:

"Putting aside the summons in advance, what about the monthly funds Quasimodo mentioned? I heard that the territory's business has been booming in recent years, and the silver mines have continued to produce. Why is it so much better than before?

Your income is reduced instead?”

Looking at Charlotte's youthful appearance, Baron Sharon sighed and said:

"Lord Charlotte, you probably don't know much about the income structure of the territory, right?"

"I know something, 70% of the income comes from the Castel Silver Mine, 10% comes from vassal taxes, and 20% comes from direct tax and commercial income."

Charlotte said.

After hearing her answer, Baron Chalon sighed:

"Yes... 70% of the territory's income comes from the silver mine, especially the mithril mine associated with the silver mine, which accounts for the majority of the income."

"But the part of the associated mithril mine that the family has been allocated... is already on the verge of exhaustion."
