Him saying that the boutique is raking in all the gold coins he could ever dream of, is what triggered me. Like what do you mean, a boutique’s profit is the maximum of what you could dream of? Seriously?!
If that’s the case, then why doesn’t he have a series of boutiques?
Or did he mean money he wants to acquire without running the business himself?
I really don’t get his reasoning and this is making him a ridiculous character rather than an evil one.
On chapter 57 so far and I’m wondering what’s duke Luther’s deal?? For someone with so much power and supposedly wealth, why is he salivating over every penny he hears of?
-he was so happy receiving only three gold bars as a bribe before. Three bars is not that much for a Duke who is this close to the king.
-and now he is salivating over the profits of a clothing boutique?! For someone dealing with mines, a clothing boutique is supposed to be nothing.
-the only thing that could make sense is the amount of money he keeps asking from the grand duke as a “dowry” as I imagine that would be a great load.
I can’t understand this, it doesn’t make any sense. Unless he’s a duke in name only and someone else is taking all of his money? But again, he just said on a previous chapter that thanks to the king’s laziness and absence from government meetings, he was able to make many decisions for his own benefit.
Other than that, his hunger for small money doesn’t meet the character he is supposed to be, a powerful wealthy rotten man.
