Hero of Darkness

So I couldn ’t dare to speak about it before you came. ” revealed the snakekin with honesty.

He too was one of Kahn ’s supporters and after hearing Kahn ’s moving speech yesterday..
He dared to come forth with the truth.

Kahn nodded and understood the situation.

”Mister Rotich! ” called out Kahn.

Soon, a green thrall dressed in aristocratic clothes ran towards them and stood straight in front of him.

This was one of the people who were in charge of informing Kahn about the happenings of the fiefdom since he was new.

”How much of our annual budget is spent on managing all the prisons in Verlassen? ” asked Kahn with a serious tone.

”My lord, more than 20% of the annual income is spent on the management of these prisons throughout the Verlassen mountain range in hundreds of cities.

If I ’m not wrong, it ’s nearly 200 billion gold coins every year. ” spoke the thrall.

”That much?..
Yet why aren ’t they receiving the funds? ” asked Kahn.

Because despite that much allotted money, the situation here seemed worse and didn ’t appear like the prison was well maintained given the sheer number of people it housed.

The prison labor wasn ’t enough to fill the cracks in the walls if they didn ’t have enough money to buy the construction materials at all.

”My lord..
That ’s..
That ’s..
In the hands of ministry of finance. ” he spoke with a shuddering voice.

”I see.
Those bastards not only sent the scums of society to live here..
They use these folks to swindle money in the name of managing these prisons.

If not for me taking charge here..
No one would ’ve found out either. ” spoke Kahn in an exasperated tone.

There seemed to be no end to the scams and money embezzling in this region of the empire.

”My lord..
The situation is even worse in other major prisons.
We receive at least that much because this prison is situated in the capital.

Compared to this..
Other places that house more criminals don ’t receive enough money.

Every year, there are plenty of cases when those prisoners escape because of worn down constructions and not enough men to stop them. ” revealed the snakekin again.

Kahn clenched his fist in anger after hearing this fact.
Because these prisoners were mostly filled with rapists, murderous and some who even did acts such as cannibalism.

Yet to risk the lives of common people because of their greed was something he found as crossing the limit.

”I see.
Well, I will soon take care of it.
But first..
Gather around all the prisoners in the main grounds and arrange a podium where I can speak with them all at once. ” commanded Kahn in his gray general-like attire.

”Yes, my lord. ” spoke the snakekin jailer and left to make the arrangements.

Kahn looked at the open ground with his eyes full of wrath and spoke in a grim voice.

”Let ’s see how many of these sinners are useful. ”
