After Fabio left, another man entered the room where the Emperor was.

The man spoke to the Emperor as if he were addressing a father, casually.

“I've been hearing a lot of rumors among the nobles that Your Majesty is showing too much favoritism toward Count Rothschild. This is being said not only by the faction of the Duke of Sforza, our rivals, but also by the faction of the Duke of Visconti.”

Among the nobles of the Toscana Empire, even those with titles of count or higher, very few have the privilege to meet the Emperor freely whenever they desire.

To be more precise, only a count who is the Emperor’s right or left hand, a noble of considerable stature, would be able to meet the Emperor regularly.

Other landed nobles (those with territories) need to go through various complicated procedures and wait for several days to meet the Emperor.

Fabio, however, is almost ignoring all of this.

“Does the Crown Prince think that I am favoring Count Rothschild too much?”

“I highly value his abilities, but I believe he could become a courtier who will ruin the Empire in the future.”

“The Crown Prince is very wise. However, that’s a half-truth and half-mistake.”

“... Are you saying that although he is talented, he will not become a courtier who will ruin the Empire?”@@novelbin@@
