Chapter: 752

As long as there are no major problems, they lightly overlooked the tax issue.

In that way, the Duke earned much more than other nobles during the reign of the previous emperor.

All the money he had collected became his private fund.

Of course, when Kaizen ascended to the throne and the political world became unstable, all illegal activities were quickly sorted out as if it was when.

The Duke looked at the document for a moment, then looked at Astelle and asked, “Does Fritz know about this too?”

“Yes. Brother Fritz also wants Father to step down.”

That one sentence gave a greater effect than the document brought before his eyes.

His eyes trembled greatly in shock.

Duke Reston gritted his teeth and asked again, “Does Fritz agree to this?”

“It was Fritz who brought me this document, which was hidden in the estate.”

The Duke’s face turned pale.

He never imagined that Fritz would betray him and side with Astelle.

The Duke tossed the document in his hand and back to his seat.

“Are you asking me to give him a title just because of this?”

“I have work to do today.”

“What?”

“May I inform His Majesty the Emperor that Father framed the Minister of Home Affairs?”

Astelle added, “Oh, you also stole the seal of Marquis Croychen.”

It’s a felony to touch the seal of another family without permission.

“I did it for you and for the prince…..!”

The Duke of Reston, unable to bear it, raised his voice, but Astelle looked at him without shaking the slightest.

“Do you think you will be safe if this fact becomes known?” The Duke shouted like it was ridiculous.

“It’s not treason, and I won’t lose my position as the empress.”

If the plot to kill the emperor is revealed, it will endanger Astelle as well as Theor.

Only her father will be executed, but like the Croychen family, the Duke himself will stumble, so Astelle will also suffer a lot of damage.
