First Prince Alf, who had been sent as a hostage to the Empire, returned home to take charge of national affairs due to his ailing father. There he found a poor, weak nation.

The nation's finances were in dire straits due to large amounts of wasteful spending and unaccounted funds, while corrupt nobles extorted money from commoners to line their own pockets.

If things continued this way, the country would collapse under his rule.

I won't let that happen! I'm going to make a fortune and live a life of lavish indulgence!

To make money, I'll empower competent individuals. I don't care even if they're demons.

Moreover, correcting corruption should lead to increased tax revenue.

This guarantees a future of boundless luxury for me.

...So why am I being showered with such high praise?

The greatest prince in history? The kingdom's savior? They'd do anything for me?

But all I'm doing is making money for myself—.

To be published as a book by Futabasha M Novels.

Releasing September 30th.

A manga adaptation has also been decided.
