"what did you say!? Port's on fire!!"
Justright. The red jago had devoured almost half of the harbor. The guards rumored to have rushed there, trying to put out the fire.
In short, for whatever reason, the only port in the kingdom of Bucharest was burning. The fire that had spread everywhere became very difficult to extinguish.
Those who died from the burning were also not few. It is impossible to count now. But based on rough estimates, more than 100 people were killed.
The material losses caused by this tragedy were also enormous. The only shipyard in the kingdom of Bucharest burned down. The warehouses that became storage areas had become ashes, along with their contents.
The king of Bucharest immediately gathered the nobles. The ports are under their jurisdiction. The king intends to hold them accountable.
"So your Majesty blames us for what happened!?"
"Impossible! There is no benefit for us to burn the harbor!"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider your decision!"
But the king of Bucharest did not budge. He blamed two barons and one viscount for what had happened. They are forced to indemnify for the material loss that occurred.
Once the problem is solved, a new problem arises. How and with what should they rebuild the port?
Even if the king ordered all the nobles and rich people to drain their treasures, even if the king were to extort the treasures stored in the palace, all of that would not be enough!
But they finally found the light. Baron De Ruhr and the HuCas trading company offered to rebuild the port that had been badly damaged.
The two groups will lend the kingdom of Bucharest 10,000 Van gold coins that will be returned within 10 years at five percent interest.
That's a very promising offer. Even if the port was completed and more magnificent than the previous one, the money would still be left.
But Jean gave them a condition that they could accept the loan.
First, Jean must obtain the right to manage the port when it is completed and re-operated. At least 10 percent of the tributes taken from ships transiting there will go to the enclave.
Second, the shipyard operating in the kingdom of Bucharest had to build at least three ships for him. The ship will be used by HuCas for its business expansion into the Akkadian subcontinent. Furthermore, the ship should not be subjected to tribute by the royal authorities of Bucharest.
Lastly, the workers who built the port, half of them must be the men of John.
But do they have a choice? Of course not. As a result, they inevitably accepted these terms. Baron De Ruhr is still young. By all means, they could definitely trick this child.
What they don't know, they've fallen into the game that Jean made.

"So, the person behind the destruction of the harbor is you. Is that so, baby?"
Charlotte floated her tone of protest as Jean told her a few things. His cheeks bulged until it felt almost exploding. Jean was so anxious that she wanted to touch that cheek!
Beside her, Selena was standing with a satisfied expression on her face. Probably because of the night he spent with Jean.
Having not seen each other for a long time, Jean devoted her time to 'playing' with Selena. And well, they played from night to morning until the bed was completely wet and Jean sprayed her warm seedlings into Selena's womb many times.
Putting that aside, Jean understood Charlotte's dissatisfaction.
She is a very gentle and loving woman. This girl was the woman who could least see innocent people suffering. Thanks to him, the quality of life of the people of the Dublin kingdom improved.
Upon hearing the number of casualties, of course Charlotte became sad.
"Just calm down, I've evacuated the people who were there. As for those who were victims.well, they are a group of people that I judge must die."
Jean wasn't lying. Those who burned down along with the port were the criminal gangs that controlled the place.
He had ordered the White Wolf that was there to sabotage the port. Based on the information he got, the kingdom of Bucharest had a lot of powder that could explode if splashed with fire. And the majority of that powder is in the harbor.
Jean immediately made a plan based on that information. He's putting together a party in the biggest building in the harbor. Under the floor, he had placed three large sacks of the powder and set up a wick.
At the same time, Jean also instructed the White Wolf people to evacuate the citizens from there. What remains are bandits and bandits ready to be removed. The rest is history.
The destruction of those people made the foundation of the White Wolf even stronger. That way, Jean has achieved one of her goals.
He looked at Charlotte da Selena. Any minute. Soon his dream of taking control of the kingdom of Dublin and the kingdom of Bucharest will be realized.
