Tangled by Fate

The goods were lost.      

The crews were dead.     

Those three sentences circled around Duke De la Pole's mind. He sat there in a daze.     

Albert wiped his face and looked at the Duke.     

The noblemen also looked at Duke De la Pole.      

"My condolences, Duke. I knew how important shipment was."     

"Duke, everything will be all right."     

Duke De la Pole couldn't hear their voices. That shipment was indeed very important.      

He started the business when his father was still alive and he had yet to take his father's title.      

He was a great strategic businessman. He also had a friend who would understand the weather.      

The two of them worked together and started the business. Thus, never before his ships were destroyed due to sea storms.     

Thus, he became bolder and sent more ships risking his wealth.      

While others worried about their wealth and risked less, he risked everything and became wealthier.      

That's why most of the noblemen look up to him and respect him.
