Comment on ChapterFor My Derelict Beloved - Chapter 92
The royal family is not an insurance company. They wouldn't pay out anything.  The nobles invested of their own free will knowing the risks.  It's not like a natural disaster happened.  This would increase the power of the royal family and nobles would have to beg and plead to have a tax reduction.  Not sure how in the world people invested this much on one voyage. A year of the temple's budget they could make like ten of their own ships.  It makes no sense, there is a hard cap on how much a voyage could possibly make so investments wouldn't be unlimited that it would put out this many nobles and be a year of church funds.   
The Diana thing is a seperate issue, and so is the church.  Guess the church will have to sell some sacred relics to get by.  The commoners relying on the temple for medical care is real real rough though so something would have to be done there. 

Good news is our leads would now be the richest nobles in the country.
Read Cursed Princess Club, it's finished and fantastic.

@Mistress Maya   I'm pretty sure the reason the royal family has to pay is because Diana made suggestions to people to invest their own money. Thus, Diana would have to pay because of that
@Mistress Maya This was exactly my thoughts when I read the novel. It's not lk it was a Royal ship they were invested in. Moreover, I also find it wierd that the Baron is liable to pay the loss either. It's not lk he committed fraud and by their nature investments are risks that aren't guaranteed. Unless the Baron agreed to be legally liable for any losses he should not be forced to repay anybody
@The girl whose a nerd it was a bit fraudulent since he promised gains over the top, like those ponzi schemes that promise to multiply bybtens and thousands if you invest 1 dll
@B I think you may be onto something, but if im not mistaken I think he made those promises based on previous voyages? inda lk hey we've invested $10 and got back $50. So if we invest $50 we'll get 5x back.
