The Punishment for the Corrupt Baron

"Great! We only spent half of the budget!" Helena looked amazed as she received the financial report from Margaret.

Margaret smiled. "It's all thanks to the support of many parties, My Lady. The flour seller saw this as a good business opportunity for the future. He offered us a 50% discount if we promised to use his services in the future to supply flour. Also, the local residents refused the wages you offered. They were already thrilled with the long-awaited celebration. They just hope that such celebrations will be held more frequently in the future."

Helena couldn't be happier than she was at this moment. It turns out that doing business with commoners wasn't as bad as she thought. They were delighted to help without expecting any payment. They weren't the kind of people who enjoyed receiving free food without giving something in return. It was different from what Helena had imagined all this time.
