The newly appointed Imperial Parliament Advisors wasted no time in proposing a flurry of laws that catered to their own interests.

As advisors, their role should have been limited to offering guidance when consulted by the Empire.

But since there were no explicit guidelines defining whether they could propose legislation themselves, they seized the opportunity.

Flipping through the stack of documents detailing their proposals and justifications, I let out a dry chuckle.

"Well, well. These seasoned merchants are spouting absolute nonsense without even wetting their lips. Do they think the Imperial Parliament is a stock market?"

"They must, considering how much they invested just to secure their positions as advisors. And let’s not forget, most of them are ancient fossils who could drop dead any day now."

"Desperate to make back their money before they keel over—how admirable. Truly, these merchants are as shrewd as they are shameless."
