Cale knew it would be difficult. Cale knew about it because he had read about it in the novel, but it was not something any average noble could know about. Even so, Deruth would work as best as he could to figure it out.

�I will try to verify it as quickly as possible. If your father does not have what it takes to find any information out, I will choose to trust your words.�

Deruth got up and headed to his desk.

�Son, there is something I�ve come to realize as I started to touch money.�

The Henituse family has gathered money for generations. Of course, they spent money as well, but it was minimal compared to the money they gathered. It was to the point that Count Deruth has never thought that he has ever spent a lot of money.

He shared his findings with his son.

�What I learned is that if you find a place to use your money, you have to spend a ton of it.�

Money does not help much during wartime. However, the results made by money prior to war will become useful during the war.

�I will contact you soon.�

�Yes, that is good enough.�

Deruth called out to his son, who casually responded and headed toward the door.

�Cale.�

�Yes, father.�

Deruth recalled the conversation he had with Basen as Cale turned around.

�Have you ever thought about the issue of our successor?�

�Not at all.�

Cale answered seriously without a second of hesitation. Deruth started to laugh after hearing Cale have the same response as Basen.

�Yes, there is no need to think about it.�

�Yes, father.�

He was definitely not planning on thinking about it. If it came up in the future, he was planning on saying he declines the position. Most importantly, there was no need to think about it since Count Deruth should remain as the lord of this territory for at least the next fifteen years.

�Basen came to me and said he will not do anything to worry you.�

�Of course. Basen will be great for our territory.�

Basen was a perfect fit for the next lord of the territory.

�Sure. Go get some rest.� JrNovels.com
