nt, only focused on expanding and taking care of his military ’s upkeep.

The people ’s suffering and what the land needed was never Alec ’s concern.

And just from his sh**y way of doing things, all the ministers and accounting officers who aided in controlling funds had embezzled a sh** load of them for decades now.

William decided to randomly pick some account books from different months within the same year and take a look at them.

He opened the middle pages of each one, took out his calculator and was shocked.

Nothing added up!

He did the same for the following years and then looked at the accountants pitifully.

Every book he randomly touched had major problems…
all except those that were done within his grandfather ’s reign.

As for Alec ’s reign, the account books weren ’t properly balanced and the money taken for some projects were never accounted for.

The only thing that they could see was that money was that huge chunks of money constantly went into increasing Alec ’s army…
probably because Alec who was a young king at the time, felt threatened by all the old fogies around.

But since he took care of his issues and firmly stabilized himself years after, then why didn ’t he properly look after his people?

William opened the account books for these past months alone and almost felt like strangling Alec to death.

The man still carried on in the same manner all these years.

What the hell was he thinking?

What about his people?

This sort of thing could only make one ’s blood boil even more.

.

Needless to say that over the years, Arcadina ’s tax kept increasing more and more because of their greedy king.

And with such a ruler, of course…
his ministers would be the same too.

The ministers took advantage of Alec ’s constant focus on power and started sneaking money out in the name of doing new projects.

Alec didn ’t want to bother with other things, so he appointed some ministers to take over them instead.

Some took money out saying that they wanted to fix roads, expand trade, get more food for villages and towns in other territories and whatnot.

But for decades, those so-called projects had never been fulfilled.

Alec was too focused on getting his militia.

So provided he and his army had ample food, salaries and whatnot…
he didn ’t look too deep into what was going on behind the scenes.

Again, everytime he went to the royal vault and saw the massive hall that was filled with gold, gems, silver and treasure…
he just felt that he was too rich.

So he never bothered about anything else.

The treasure room was a massive hall which had treasures, money and all sorts of rare gems and stones that had been collected by his ancestors for thousands and thousands of years.

So everytime he walked into the hall and looked at the treasure that now belonged to him, he felt like he could never go broke!

So why should he worry about others?

And so he never bothered about the little things that the ministers did behind his back.

One should know that things in the royal treasury were kept there just in case the empire was in an emergency state.

As for the money used to actually run the empire, that was kept in another treasury and was basically from taxes, trade, donations and other sources of income.

Of course, the knights were paid off from the public money and not the royal treasury money.

So provided the ministers ensured that his army was properly fed, then he didn ’t care about the rest.

He was, after all, a greedy king.
