It was not enough to take away luxury goods that were monopolized by the Aristocratic Party, call procedures, and not give them new permits. He made some nobles bankrupt and now was about to crash into the market.

Perhaps they had been rushing to open a new account, and if the market would fall, they wouldn't be able to make a profit. It was likely that the deal might have been done at a price many times higher than the trade route the Crown Prince intercepted.

'And if I'm going to take the market down here...'

The aristocrats, who had suffered losses by purchasing luxury goods at exorbitant prices, would try to buy cheap ones at a glance. They would pretend not to be on the outside but buy something cheap. If the Aristocratic Party cut their prices accordingly, they would suffer losses as much as they sold.

'They won't sell it at a fair price, and if they lower the price and sell it, they'll lose money, so them losing is only a matter of time whichever option they choose.'

The Marquis of Vincent always thought that the Crown Prince had been being pushed by the Aristocratic Party, but he was doing pretty well. He was just before the adult ceremony and was doing an unstoppable attack. It was only the nobles that were harmed. When the marquis got his thoughts straightened out, he was quite pleased with what the Crown Prince was doing. Vincent smiled raising the corners of his mouth.

"I'll have to write a letter. Bring me a pen and paper."

There was no hesitation in writing back. The smooth-written letter was a total of two letters, one for Pinonua Lane, and the other for his man, who managed the luxury goods.

The marquis, under the direction of the Crown Prince, lowered the price of luxury goods, which led to the bankruptcy of several nobles of the Aristocratic Party again.

"Oh my gosh...! Miss, did you hear the news?" Annie called Aria, acting imprudently.

Aria was just reading a newspaper, so she could quickly see what she wanted to say.

"Are you talking about the casino case?"

"That's right! How can corruption occur at the casino again? Is it cursed? The curse on the casino owner!"

One of Aria's mouths was raised to a childlike concept that was not appropriate for her age.

Annie blushed and hurriedly made an excuse. "Oh, no, well... I mean... Is there really such a curse?"

"It may be."

It might be a curse. Certainly, it was the curse of the Crown Prince.

Two casino owners were severely punished by the Crown Prince. The former would have made a mistake on his own, but for the latter, she was not sure about. However, it was suspected that perhaps the latter had been played a fish in the hands of the Crown Prince.

"The Aristocratic Party who bought the casino that was originally owned by the Crown Prince is stupid."

"You're right! It wasn't a penny or two, but I think it was taken over too rashly. They were caught in a string of wires, but it was stupid. I doubt if they're really a nobleman!"

'Even the working class don't trade in such a short time when they take over stores.' But the time had been too short for Viscount Vigue. It was doubtful that he had even looked at the documents related to the casino.
