If I had my way, I would want to completely uproot the spice guild.

I have the position of tax collector, the full cooperation of Chief Judge Mancini from the High Court, and the absolute support of the Duke of Visconti.

“If I really wanted to, I could truly eliminate the spice guild.”

However, I have no intention of doing so.

Just as I wouldn’t murder the incompetent and constantly dismissive chief I can deal with, I also wouldn’t kill the guild outright.

The consequences would be too much for me to handle.

“It’s not easy, is it? Right, Sebastian?”
