Louis spoke concisely, yet it was enough to gradually brighten the eyes of those marginalized nobility.
In the past, the great nobles would never give them such opportunities.
To vie for some resources, they could only rely on attachment, on showing devotion, on barely surviving.
But now, this Prefect personally opened a window for them.
Applause rang out again, and this time, it was not just perfunctory politeness, but genuine anticipation.
Louis was not trying to be a philanthropist.
On the surface, it seemed like an act of benefiting the weak and supporting the marginalized lesser nobility, benevolent and lofty.
But this was not charity; it was the art of distributing power.
The funds for the "Revitalization Fund" came from Red Tide Territory, but were not unconditional gifts.
