Second Prince Edward sat in his own office, holding his head in his hands. Even though the academy had no classes on weekends, there was no end to a princes official duties.
Piled up on his desk were the investigation reports on food distributions by high-ranking aristocrats concerning the current situation in the slums that Emma Stuart made an appeal about during the Royal Family-hosted banquet the other day.
As Emma said, the content and quantity of food given out in the food distribution differed depending on which high-ranking aristocrat was in charge. And not so few nobles only provided poor quality meals with very few amounts that, no matter how you looked at it, seemed like it wouldnt be enough for one portion worth, let alone for a week. It wouldnt even be an exaggeration to call it leftover food.
How have they managed to live until now with this?
The report stated that the buildings in the slums were in a state of disrepair and were on the verge of collapse. Even though it was an area with poor public order, let alone being able to lock the doors, the doors themselves and the windows were rotting and falling off. Not a single building was still left with intact roofs, walls, and floors.
Arthur recalled the lament his younger sister, Marion, once uttered in pity.
How could I not know this They are also the Kingdoms, the Royal Familys subjects
The prince felt his chest tightened every time he went through the documents. His current cluelessness overlapped with his foolish act of cutting a slime without thinking out of ignorance during the local barrier hazard.
Even though it isnt even somewhere at the borderland
Even though the slums are a district within the Royal Capital, which can be seen by an hours carriage drive from the Royal Palace where I live, how could I have been unaware of this?
Ignorance is a sin.
-Theres nothing I can do-
I dont want to live a life where such a way of thinking is acceptable.
Nor I should.
