Asher simply stood there for a few minutes, staring up at the statue. For commoners to admire a noble, the noble must have done numerous things to win them over. In most cases, commoners in a territory didn't even like the nobles ruling over them... or so he had read.
'Well... if Father isn't a cultist, I guess he's just a good ruler,' Asher thought with mild amusement.
He didn't dwell much on the gold coins his father had distributed. The man was already absurdly rich. The only expenses within the Wargrave family were probably salaries paid to maids, workers, and the taxes owed to the Emperor, virtually nothing else.
After all, no one really lived permanently at the Wargrave estate, certainly not enough for them to splurge lavishly on meals or festivals.
Asher began to wonder how long a commoner would have to work just to earn fifty gold coins. Based on his estimation, it would likely take them several years, if not longer.
