In this situation, the conservative nobles simply couldn't stand up straight to oppose Laine's decision.
Speaking of which, Surya voluntarily said: "By the way, recently a lot of peasant women from Leonais have come to our side, especially many women, who often stay in bars and some inns."
Laine couldn't help but smile at hearing this. "Staying" is a euphemistic way to put it; surviving in Leonais is an incredibly difficult task now, while the Free People class is rising within the Laine Territory to the point where even peasants have a fair amount of spare money and food. It's not surprising that many female peasants from Leonais would seek a livelihood here.
"Humph~" The Chief Maid Sylvia behind Surya snorted scornfully, visibly displeased. "I think we should expel all of them!"
"Demand creates its own market." Laine wasn't bothered by it. "Even if we expel them, as long as there's a market, others will still come. There's no point in doing this."
