Gendai Shakai de Otome Game no Akuyaku Reijou wo Suru no wa Chotto Taihen - Ch. 23 - The Little Knights

It's keiko, her nanny and pretty much mother figure

It was the female bodyguard, not Keiko. They have similar hairstyles, but aren't the same person.

Keiko is shown again on page 20, still in Runa's employ.

I went back to check, apparently she first appears in chapter 18 page 9? Runa barely had a relationship with her so she shouldn't be that broken up over it...

Ok, I'm mixing it up then. Thought it was her because she looked so betrayed by it and somehow glossed over the real one in the end panels

Runa and MLF's current worth is vastly greater than any Romanov treasure at this point.

Also, can't believe we got Runa talking about no-pan kissa.

The difference is a lot of MLF's worth, as how the stock market goes, is speculative and can crash hard if the economy crashes. The Romanov treasure would be, as one puts it, 'cold hard cash'. The best kind in fact, as gold and silver are considered valuable whatever country you go to. It's also harder to track, which makes it extremely valuable for theft.

It's her first time being betrayed by someone in her 'inner circle'. She's been distrustful of outside groups and individuals so far, but no one is going to be so jaded as to distrust everyone. As smart as she can be, she's never lived in this lifestyle yet, and also as a child she has to put immense trust on the few adults around her she can believe in to not fuck her over. I understand if people see her reaction mostly as being betrayed, but I was getting as read where the bigger thing for her is honestly just losing a major sense of safety by having it be confirmed one of the few people she felt she could trust betrayed her. She's said multiple times that any one of the adults around her she's seeking help from could easily screw her over at any moment and ruin all of her plans, so what does she do moving forward?
