How can you commit something that is considered a crime and get away with it?
We have to return to the concept of crime
If a person kills others, this is considered a crime
But if a soldier kills others in order to conquer land, obtain resources, or even for an honorable purpose such as protecting others, then this is considered heroism
Murder is wrong
For most, the problem is not the act itself, but rather the person committing it or his purpose for the act
Well...this is not our topic. There are actions that cannot be judged clearly and are ambiguous, especially if you do not know the exact details
This is what I rely on, that mystery is the shield that protects me
As long as no one knows what I use to make my sweets, I will be safe
But it was necessary to add additional protections.
And this shield are the people who will be involved with me in this
Then, if the authorities want to pursue me legally or arrest me, they will have to hold everyone involved with me accountable
The more important the people involved in this matter are, the better. That's why I brought Diana and Ner into this
Who would dare arrest the saint or even question the beloved princess about her actions?
George had brought a firing squad because he suspected I was flirting with Diana. I wonder what he would do if someone wanted to question her?
Will he execute that poor person on the field, or exterminate his family?
But I can't rely on just a few people
I need more people to use as shields when the moment of confrontation comes between me and the authorities
That's why I doubled workers' wages to attract as many students as possible
Although I consider this an extreme decision that will reduce my profits, this is the only way to survive in such a situation.
At least this is better than falling into the hands of others and waiting for their judgement

Leonora blinked in annoyance
She came to the Chemistry Club room to study. But the building designated for clubs has become full of noise and disturbances
And all of this is thanks to Alexander, who threatened the various clubs that were thinking of filing a complaint in this regard
Of course, he took advantage of the name of the Saint and the Imperial Princess to seize the club rooms and exploit them to his advantage
Leonora had nothing to do with this, but the noise they were making was unbearable
She can't focus on her studies with all this chaos
She got up and went out to look for Alexander
She searched everywhere but could not find a trace of him
She looked around in anger and despair, screaming. "Has anyone seen where Alexander is?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Leonora in confusion
The majority could tell who she was because of her distinctive hair color and captivating features, yet no one came forward to answer her
Leonora took a deep breath to calm herself. She had scared them away with her loud voice and angry tone, and with her strong background added to the mix, no one would dare utter a single word. "I'm looking for Alexander. Do you know where he is?"
Her words had a quick impact as a student came forward and pointed her finger at the ceiling. "I saw him go into the home economics club room upstairs with some students."
"Thank you..." After thanking that student, Leonora started moving quickly to find Alexander
The doors of the rooms were open, and she could see that everyone in them was working on making sweets
She felt like she was inside a giant factory instead of an educational institution
How has no one stopped him yet?
Leonora arrived at a corridor containing five doors
She approached one of the doors on which was written a small sign containing the name 'Home Economics Club'.
The door suddenly opened and Alexander came out with eight students
Leonora stopped walking and looked at those students. They were not strangers to her because she had met them at some social events
These students are heirs to families that run banks within the empire. Some of them control strong banks and some of them control small banks
She didn't understand what all these people were doing
After a few farewell words, these students began to leave
They noticed Leonora on their way, so they greeted her warmly and then quickly left
After she finished talking to these eight students, she approached Alexander and asked in confusion. "What were you discussing?"
Alexander looked at her with a look that said, 'What do you have to do with my private affairs?'
But he exhaled and answered. "I just want to preserve my new wealth by investing it."
Leonora raised an eyebrow. Alexander's move to invest his wealth instead of wasting it was the right thing to do.
But does he need to request the help of eight banks in this process?
Even if he wanted to diversify his investments, he could have sought the help of three or four banks at most
Ring! Ring!
Leonora heard a phone ringing
Alexander took out his phone. "Is there a problem, Larry?"
Leonora noticed that Alexander's calm face became frowning and he shouted. "Do they want me to come and work in their place too? I pay them twice as much as anyone else."
| But, Boss, they say that the working hours are long and may affect their studies.|
Alexander responded quickly. "If any of them has a complaint, they can put it in the employee complaints box."
| We do not have an employee complaints box.|
"Then buy one."
| What do we do with these complaints? Do you want me to form a committee to discuss their suggestions and work on implementing them?
"Who said I would respond to their demands?" Alexander rubbed his forehead because of the stupidity of his assistant, who could not read between the lines. "We will just listen and do nothing."
"In this case, what will I do with the complaints box?"
"You are my assistant and you are the one who should be thinking about this. Go and throw them in an oven to burn them or something like that."
Alexander hung up immediately
"..." Leonora looked at Alexander who was acting like a tyrannical boss
Just imagining working under such a man was making her sick, she was lucky she wasn't involved in that
"So..." Alexander returned his gaze to Leonora. " where were we?."
"Never mind…" Leonora shook her head and left immediately

A young man with short brown hair carrying a cardboard box entered a room containing a huge pastry oven
"Larry, what are you doing here?" Vinny waved her hand
Vinny was sitting with some girls having lunch at this place
Because they ran the manufacturing process, they had to eat here instead of in the cafeteria, so they could get back to work as soon as they finished.
Larry nodded and greeted them. " Hi..."
The girls looked at the box curiously
They saw Larry open the oven and throw the box into it.
After Larry finished his work, Vinny pointed at him in confusion. "What did this box contain?"
"This is a box for employee complaints and suggestions." Larry answered coldly as he headed for the door to leave
"..." The girls looked at each other in surprise
None of them doubted for a moment that this box truly contained employee complaints and opinions
