Ever since Karl arrived, Dale had been under extreme stress.
He could feel in his bones that Karl's recent actions were anything but ordinary.
Publicly showing off his and his women's magic skills.
Showering the townspeople with wealth.
Increasing the territory's assets and power should be good.
If only he and Karl weren't practically enemies.
'More and more people are starting to support that guy.'
Stupid commoners think simply.
They ignore motives and politics, easily swayed by immediate benefits.
This wealth distribution was the same.
To them Karl was just a good noble who gave them things.
'But dumping goods like that… it can't mean much.'
Obviously commoners don't significantly influence who becomes lord.
"Our lord was driven out—let's risk our lives fighting!"
Such things rarely happen.
At best it boosts public sentiment or preempts discontent.
Pouring out that much wealth just for that?
