I dont get what illegal thing that that chloe did? The had all the paper works and permits, the literally provided work for the masses, and gave a healthy alternative to drinking gin? Even though she didnt publicly announced thag she owns the store. Is it really that big of a deal?
I hope the prince saves everyone annurism and abdicate....(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

This is just my guess but if nobles do not put their name to their store it means whatever happen to the store will be not their responsibility.
While the nobles gain wealth from there, if something happen to the store (like being spies or such) they can say they don't know anything. They didn't have actual evidence to be included. And this nobles can also evade profit-tax from the said store because its not theirs.
From a kingdom/empire viewpoint, thus acts will be an illegal/law-breaking or even seen as treason..
