Chapter 377: Finances, plans, and allies

After getting dressed and having brunch, Serena decided that it's time to talk with Fergus, the head butler. Fergus, she learned, has worked as Geoffrey's head butler in his own palace wing before taking over the position in Kensington house. She also realized while talking to him that he was very organized and competent. It was easy for him to answer all her inquiries.

Their first topic was the household. Kensington house was owned by the royal family thus the fund to maintain the house also comes from the royal's public fund. That practice doesn't change even when the crown prince marries and takes the house as his family's personal lodging. However, that doesn't mean that the prince gets to live there totally expense free.
