@Cyoteblack I'm sorry but I don't agree with you, here the excuse of the workload is not contemplated.
The lord of the city has made a mistake as a beginner let's face it.
The first mistake is to accept gifts from the nobles without wondering what they want from him because nobody does anything for nothing.
The second mistake was to find out who is hiring, in this case that nobleman from what I understood was not the first attempt at fraud, moreover the lord would have had to check the support of the people he hires, if they have important friendships that can help them in these cases and if so who they are.
All these are basic things that a lord should already know after a certain period of time, a beginner's mistake that was costing the lives of innocent children.
If Yuna wasn't so strong and famous, do you really believe that the lord would have listened to his voice so easily?
Yuna did not go to the lord to complain because he had promised her to the director, but prevented him from buying eggs not only out of spite but also to lure him to her without breaking his promise. :/
