Lords go left, Emperors go right

There are a lot of sweat marks on the bodies of these two darling dancers, but from their expressions, they are already ready and can fight at any time. They are sitting on the bed waiting for that time to come. In this charming state, even if a certain gentleman prince acts roughly in the future, this group of dancers will accept it, and they may even be more excited. From the feeling, the two darlings are pure lust attributes, with hidden special hobbies. Just being looked at by the other party, their faces become more blushing. If a real fight and negative distance firefights happen, it may be more interesting at that time.
Professional dancers Camilla and Alice are well-known in Bridges as famous beauties. It is not easy for them to remain chaste until now. Osta has already made up his mind to give up everything. He did not refuse. He reached out and pushed these two alluring white babes onto the pink sheets, and then started a new round of negative distance contact.
After actual combat, the talent and performance of the dancers far surpassed the singers and musicians. If he hadn't seen the blood, Osta would have thought that Camilla and Alice had already given up their virginity. The two girls' natural beauty attributes made Osta unable to let go and became particularly greedy. They had close physical contact and negative distance communication until midnight that night. Simple kisses and caresses, as well as grabbing and kneading, were far from satisfying the dancers. The two sides played wildly afterwards. On the highest peaks on both sides of the peaks in front of the dancers, clear tooth marks could be seen, which were the result of several light bites not long ago.
Camilla and Alice were very active. When they kissed their new masters for the first time, they also kissed their new masters deeply. Their voices were also very charming. Camilla's voice was charming and attractive, while Alice's voice was tender and charming. They were both deliberately tempting people to commit crimes. If it weren't for the special support of the cheat code, Osta would have become particularly passive when facing the two beauties in the dancer group and would not have been able to conquer them so quickly.
"Cheshia, you've been watching for so long, it's time for you to..."
"Your Highness Aosta, you...your physique is too...an ordinary man can't hold on for so long."
"Aiko, people's physiques cannot be generalized. Rather than continue to act as exhibits, you should go to the comfortable big bed and lie down to have a good rest."
"Your Highness Aosta, I... let's think about it..."
"Chexia, Echo, what are you thinking about? It's obvious that this place is..."
"Your Highness Aosta, wait..."
Osta won a series of victories. By midnight, he had defeated and conquered the singers, musicians, and dancers. His pace of advancement reached the last group of treasures. The second group of gifts sent by Princess Kunina of the Kurusmante Empire were the famous scholars in the Bridges region, Cecia and Aiko. The scholars were obviously not completely conquered after being disciplined. They were wild and rebellious, which made people want to make their subordinates obey them completely. The conquest process itself was also good.
This group of treasures also have no equipment, all external belongings are completely emptied, shoes and socks and the most basic thin inner armor two-piece suit are gone, completely empty and original, to meet outsiders frankly. Their figures are slender, with healthy white skin, kneeling side by side, one on the left and one on the right, with their white legs closed and tightened in the middle, kneeling down, hands flat behind their backs, stacked on their backs, their whole bodies, wrapped and fixed with professional linen thick lines, their mobility is completely sealed, unable to move.
The baby has his hands behind his back, with two circles of thick linen threads wrapped around his arms, and above and below the peak, there are several parallel lines of thick linen threads that are wrapped horizontally, passing through the periphery of the northern and southern hemispheres. There is another circle of thick linen threads tightened around the peak, and a thick linen thread extends vertically upwards, like the shoulder strap of the upper inner armor.
The thick linen thread at the bottom of the baby is also wound in the classic "Y" shape. Several thick linen threads are connected in parallel and vertically pass through the special area of the front and back positions. It seems that they are in full deep contact, which brings a double special feeling after running-in. The thick linen thread is circled in the absolute area of the thigh and calf. It is fixed after several circles. It is impossible to separate and lift the legs, and basically can't stand up.
The snow-white necks of the babies were all equipped with a pair of black leather ring guards. A red traction wire was connected to the silver rectangular metal buckle in front of the neck guard. The other end of the wire was fixed to the iron ring on the wall of the room, limiting the opponent's maximum range of movement.
The scholar on the left is Cecia, who is estimated to be over 170cm tall, tall, with a standard model figure, and well-proportioned development, reaching the level of the golden ratio. Cecia has smooth golden hair, a ponytail hairstyle, and a medium-short ponytail braid on the back of her head. When we first met, on that heroic face, there was a pair of dark purple eyes, which were half-closed at this time, with the right eye open and the left one closed.
Cecia's body center of gravity, the upper body slightly tilted forward, has the visual sense of bending forward. The highest peak altitude in front of her is about C size, which is just right, not too big, and can be held in one hand, and the feel is not bad.
The scholar on the right is Aiko, who is estimated to be over 170cm tall, also tall and slender, with a model figure, well-proportioned, and slender, close to the golden ratio. Aiko has silky brown hair in a neat short hairstyle, which reaches the shoulders on both sides and no longer extends downwards.
On Echo's pretty face, a pair of deep green eyes tried to maintain a calm expression. Her body center of gravity and upper body were slightly tilted forward, giving the impression of bending forward and bowing. The peak elevation in front of her was about size D, which was much larger than her companion Cecia's. One hand could not grasp one side. The feel was also excellent. Under the special environment at the scene, this level of peak elevation was normal compared to other beauties, just reaching the average standard.
Cecia and Aiko only talked hard for a while before they compromised. Their location was rather special. They were placed side by side in the bathroom in the room, kneeling on the tile floor of the bathroom. The scene was too special. Princess Kunina had just said that she wanted to treat this pair of treasures as special ornaments and place them in the bathroom for a long time, but they immediately gave in. If they stayed in the bathroom in this state and were seen by other guests, the consequences were foreseeable.
Fortunately, it is currently only placed in a private room and has been moved to a public restroom. When a gentleman prince sees this set of treasures again, his beautiful eyes will most likely lose their luster, his expression will be ruined, and his body will be covered with various stains. People coming and going from the public restroom will basically take the opportunity to do other unspeakable things after seeing the special exhibits.
Cecia and Aiko were upright in character. They were famous scholars in the Bridges area and often publicly criticized the tyranny of Lord Randy. Due to their popularity, Lord Randy could not do anything and chose to play dead and not respond. The two beautiful scholars were originally eloquent, but when they met a gentleman prince, it was completely useless. The other party carried them like a princess in the bathroom, letting the two white babies complete their daily bathroom routine in his arms. Then he moved the battlefield to the spacious bed, and the first kiss and first time were handed over smoothly, leaving proof of growth on the pink and white sheets.
The next morning, when Kunina and Angels woke up, they heard a mixed and gentle music. They saw the gentleman prince lying on the big bed, surrounded by the gifts given to them. Each of them had a charming expression and interacted closely with each other like the moon surrounded by stars. All kinds of negative distance contact, fragrance, front and back defense areas were penetrated by the opposite side several times.
These white babies didn't care that it was daytime, they were completely subordinate to each other and obeyed their new masters. The whole room was a mess, the battlefield was from the bedroom to the bathroom, everywhere was a battlefield, the whole room was filled with a strong ambiguous atmosphere, only Chris and the other three still had their beautiful eyes slightly closed, sitting cross-legged there, looking calm and relaxed, as if they were out of the matter, and their faces did not change.
"Your Highness Aosta, can you please untie it so that we can go back first?"
"Kunina, you guys went to bed too early last night. Why don't you stay and continue your private chat today?"
"Your Highness Aosta, you...you are..."
"Angels, this is yesterday's juice. It's delicious."
"Your Highness Aosta, we want to change..."
"No need to change, Angelica, Kunina, please give me your guidance today."
Kunina and Angels blushed as they watched Aosta approach and bring them the delicious juice. They didn't have time to think or refuse. After the cup was handed to their mouths, they drank the delicious juice. It was still the familiar fruit wine. After a while, less than three cups, the two princesses were drunk again. At this time, Kunina and Angels probably guessed whether there was something wrong with the juice. However, they couldn't refuse it at this time. The fruit wine was indeed delicious.
The two princesses, Kunina and Angels, were absent from the banquet on the second day. It was not until the third day that Osta was willing to let them go. During the whole day, the two princesses, influenced by the ambiguous atmosphere on the scene, followed the needs of the special environment and joined in like the other snow-white babies. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, everything was held in the room. They did not get off the comfortable big bed and lay down directly.
Under Osta's arrangement, no one was left behind. Perhaps they had awakened some extraordinary hobbies. Those little cuties did not even ask to remove the special accessories on their bodies, and maintained a delicate state to communicate intimately with each other. Kunina and Angels were a little moved, and several times they almost followed the crowd and joined the others.
Except for the last step of penetration, all other possible activities have been basically played. From this time on, Angels and Kunina's loyalty to their country decreased significantly, and they began to favor a certain gentleman prince. As for what happened in the past two days, they kept it secret from the outside world and kept it secret in private. Osta gave the two princesses engagement rings representing their future status as princesses with ulterior motives. Angels and Kunina knew the meaning of the rings and accepted them happily.
There is no formal diplomatic relationship between the two countries, so it is difficult to go through the formal route and directly propose marriage. Osta secretly considered other ways to ask for the person. If the other party is willing to accept the ring, the rest of the things will be much easier.
"Your Highness Aosta, you are too greedy. It's fine if you just accept the gift, but you don't want to take the person who gave it away with him."
"Kunina, how about I go and ask your commander, Kumus, for the people tomorrow? The worst that can happen is that we will just go to war."
"Your Highness Aosta, don't be like this. We can talk it out. It's not worth starting a war. I...I didn't say I won't accept the ring. Don't make it public for now."
"Angels, what about you here? Do you need me to talk to Anthony?"
"Your Highness Aosta, please wait for a moment on my end. Please don't make it public for the time being."
"Okay, Kunina, Angelica, I understand. I'll give you a little more time, then..."
Faced with the overbearing attitude of the gentleman prince, Kunina and Angels could not find a reason to refuse. If they disagreed, the other party would most likely make it a done deal, and would most likely kidnap the person. The Kurusman Empire and the Antarkar Empire had something to ask of Osta. For the sake of two not-so-important imperial princesses, it would be more trouble than gain to go to war with the current overlord of the human race in the western continent, the Obelisk Empire, in the Central Continent.
As long as the other side is not kidnapping openly or secretly, the two nomadic empires will choose to pretend not to know. Thinking of this, Kunina and Angels lowered their heads, their faces flushed, looking at the rings in their hands, and did not raise any more objections. Osta currently has three fiancées from other countries, who are also princesses, from the countries of the Southern Continent, the Northern Continent and the Eastern Continent of the human race.
According to tradition, before the wedding is completed, this gentleman prince cannot publicly propose to the princess of another country. Aosta can only wait until the wedding of his fiancée is completed before he can publicly propose to the princess of another country. If he does not want to wait, there are still ways, either secretly kidnapping her, eloping directly, or declaring independence and becoming a king. After becoming an emperor from a prince, the marriage contract is completely decided by the prince.
Osta has not thought about independence. Among the other brothers, there are nine princes of the Obelisk Empire who want to be independent in the Central Continent and have armed separatist ideas. Once they lose the competition for succession, the throne will be obtained by other brothers. On the eve of the new emperor's accession to the throne, it is a good choice to flee to the Central Continent. At that time, across the sea, the new emperor is unlikely to send troops to attack his country's overseas colonies. As long as those brothers and sisters nominally recognize their own territories as overseas territories of the Obelisk Empire, the two sides will maintain a situation of not interfering with each other.
"Your Highness Aosta, if you...if you want to kidnap...if you want to take us away secretly, that's fine too."
"Kunina, this is a good suggestion, but I will make arrangements. I won't need this method for the time being."
"Your Highness Aosta, if you want to contact us in the future, you can do so through..."
Chapter 91 Return to Bloomfield Territory
The author is currently revising the content of this chapter. Please check back later.
Chapter 92: Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce's Low-Key Visit
St. Louis, an important port town in the coastal area of Bloomfield. Although the neighbors around the territory are not peaceful, this is not a big problem for the lord, Prince Aosta. This gentleman prince only needs to prioritize defending his own territory. There is still some time before the arrival of the three disasters.
The locust plague, which is currently the most affected, mainly affects the neighboring Bridges area. On the northwest border of the territory, the impact on Osta is not very large. The locust swarm mainly attacks the separatist forces in the Bloomfield area, the base camp of the Sarahanim people. In a sense, it can be regarded as one of Osta's potential allies, so he temporarily ignored these invading locust swarms.
The suspicious ships from the Coverdale area had no living creatures on board except for the mutant rats, and there were almost no clues of survivors. After searching, the secret police force under Osta, the San Diego Black Hawk, found a logbook in the captain's room of one of the ships. With the help of this logbook, things became clear.
The ships were not from the Coverdale area, but from the distant Lamfaso area. They were originally cargo ships transporting food and other supplies to the Coverdale area. After the transportation was completed, they encountered an accident on their way back. The captain's log did not clearly record what happened, but it mentioned that when they set sail, there seemed to be more big rats on the ship, which were much bigger than ordinary rats. The cats on the ship seemed to be very afraid of those big rats, and the records were cut off afterwards.
Osta finally ordered the destruction and burned it directly. The terrifying rats that were killed were also burned along with the ship. Due to some special reasons, the surrounding areas of Bloomfield area could not use any magical communication props. He could not remotely contact the lord of the neighboring Coverdale area to inquire about the relevant situation. He could only prepare for the worst.
There was no communication between the two sides, and the pigeon communication route was not established. The Lamfaso region was too far away, and it was difficult for Aosta to contact the other side. The lord of that area came from the northern continent of the human race. The countries on that continent generally had prejudices against the countries on the western continent of the human race, and it was impossible to communicate in a short time.
"Mirror, have your men burn all these ships to prevent future troubles."
"As you command, Your Highness Aosta, I will arrange it right away."
"Chris, we will draft a document and give it to Lianna and Belus later. From today on, all ships from the Coverdale area, no matter what kind of ship they are, will be refused entry to the port. Those who do not obey the advice will be treated as enemy ships and can be sunk on the spot."
"Lord Osta, the territory of these ships is not the Coverdale area."
"Sophia, the Ramfaso region has frequent foreign trade. We still allow their ships to enter the port, but they need to be closely monitored."
Without prior notification, Osta specifically commissioned his territory's navy, the pirate queen Lianna and the pirate fleet led by Belus, to temporarily block the coastline with warships. All ships from the Coverdale area were prohibited from docking, even near the offshore area. No matter what type of ship, merchant ships, cargo ships or even small fishing boats, were temporarily not allowed to approach.
Aosta unilaterally implemented targeted maritime ban measures on ships in the Coverdale area. Without finding out whether there is a source of infection on the other party's territory, the duration of the maritime ban measures will be determined based on the specific circumstances. It may end early or be extended. There is an option to turn it into a long-term measure.
The blockade and quarantine zone on land, Aosta needs to integrate the four primitive tribes in the border area before it can be blocked. Aosta currently gives priority to blocking the coastline. In order not to cause panic among the people, the gentleman prince did not announce the specific reasons for the blockade, but only publicly stated that due to the tariff negotiation between the two sides, the sea channel was temporarily closed and the land channel was restricted.
Aosta downplayed the incident. After evacuating the people, he also explained it to the overseas merchants who came to the St. Louis area to avoid misunderstanding. Merchants are sensitive to foreign policy changes such as maritime bans.
It just so happened that today there was a gathering of business celebrities on the Edward cruise ship docked at the Port of St. Louis. The organizer invited merchants from the Bloomfield area, and Osta, as the local lord, also received an invitation.
The gentleman prince had not arranged this kind of thing in his original schedule for the day. After considering various factors, Osta finally decided to attend this celebrity gathering. Before leaving to deal with the follow-up matters of the Sky Messenger Tribe and the Secret Realm Witch Tribe, he still had time to attend this event.
"Lord Osta, you have other activities scheduled in the Crystal Palace tonight. There is no need to attend this banquet."
"Chris, those businessmen need an official explanation. If it weren't for their investment, it wouldn't take up too much time anyway."
"Lord Osta, the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce has sent envoys to meet you several times before, but they were always late. This time it's a good opportunity for you to meet them."
"Yulia, is that party hosted by the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce?"
"Lord Osta, if you mind, we can arrange for someone else to attend the event on your behalf."
"Sophia, that Chamber of Commerce... forget it. It's not impossible to meet in person. I want to see what they are planning to do this time."
The event held on the Edward luxury cruise ship was hosted by the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce. Aosta was no stranger to this chamber of commerce. The Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce was a well-known chamber of commerce in the human race's western continent. They ran all kinds of businesses. As long as it was a profitable business, they would intervene, regardless of whether it was legal or not.
In addition to the nine empires, all principalities and kingdoms in the Western continent have cooperative relations with this chamber of commerce. The Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce secretly has close contacts with the dignitaries of various countries and can even influence the political changes in many countries.
Osta did not like this Chamber of Commerce. When the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce was operating in the Obelisk Empire, it had investments in several princes, including the eldest prince Osed, the second prince Osk, the fourth prince Osk, and many other princes who had received large amounts of money and property as gifts from this Chamber of Commerce.
In the world on Earth, the actions of the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce would be considered political donations. However, this speculative chamber of commerce had never given Aosta any gifts, not even the Third Prince.
The reason why the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce did not send gifts was because of Aosta's mother, Empress Margaret III. Margaret III used her personal influence to force her husband, Emperor Augustus VIII, to abandon many political projects that had been secretly approved, all of which were business projects related to the interests of the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce.
The money that the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce secretly bribed for these projects was directly wasted, and the conflict between the two sides was thus formed. Margaret III was quite disgusted with businessmen interfering in politics and did not accept the gifts from the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce. It was impossible to buy them off with money, and it was almost impossible for the two sides to improve their relationship.
The Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce has always followed the model of the emerging nobles in the northern continent of the human race. Those new business groups use money to influence politics and will not easily change this established policy. However, the social foundation of the human race's western continent is the feudal system, and the landlord class is the dominant class. Unlike the northern continent of the human race, the merchant class forms interest groups and enters the political arena. The environment and background are different, and the means of using money to influence politics are not very effective.
The background of the Imperial Queen Margaret III was too terrifying. The Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce could not use money to influence political changes like it did with ordinary kingdoms and principalities. They could only use some small tricks to save face in other occasions, such as not giving gifts to the Queen's son, which was one of the means of revenge.
Osta did not express it clearly on the surface, but he secretly remembered it and secretly bore a grudge. Osta decided to come after the other party's invitation this time after a compromise. He could have held a similar event in his own lord's mansion.
Considering that the mansion of a certain gentleman prince has many special private collections in those luxurious villas and manors, which are used to hide his mistresses. It is not suitable for holding a banquet open to the public, so this idea can only be abandoned. If it is a private party, it will not have any impact.
The Edward cruise ship is about three hundred meters long and can accommodate nearly one thousand members. Judging from the shipbuilding technology of this alien world, it is already at the top level. In terms of technology, it is only inferior to the shipbuilding technology of the human race's northern continent, which has inherited some technology from prehistoric civilizations. The two sides cannot compare.
When Aosta's carriage arrived at the dock where the Edward cruise ship was docked, the banquet on the ship had already begun. As the host, the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce held a free banquet here. Guests did not need to spend a copper coin to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes. Therefore, the invited guests basically attended.
This chamber of commerce is very wealthy, but unfortunately it is not in the Northern Continent. Merchants' activities in the Western Continent are subject to many policy restrictions. If it were in the Northern Continent, the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce might have developed into a large chaebol group. If the other party was doing business peacefully, Osta would not interfere. He was just afraid that the chamber of commerce was not honest and was always thinking about interfering in political affairs.
"Your Highness Aosta, you are finally here. I have sent many messengers to your lord's house to pay a visit, but I have never been able to get in touch with them."
"I'm usually busy, so I only have time recently. By the way, you are... I remember that when I was in the Empire, you were not the person in charge, right?"
"Your Highness Osta, the person in charge of the Obelisk Empire is my brother. I am only responsible for overseas business, that is, the business in the Central Continent. My name is Cairns, and I am an ordinary businessman."
"I see, Sir Cairns. My territory doesn't seem to have much to export right now, so you'll probably be disappointed this time. I'm mainly here to explain the future port restriction policy to the merchants."
"That's okay, Lord Osta. I'm not here for shopping."
At the entrance of the Edward cruise ship, Osta met Keynes, one of the leaders of the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce, who came to greet him in person. Keynes was about the same age as Osta, both were young men, with short blond hair, blue eyes, and a height of about 170cm, slightly shorter than Osta, a standard Western handsome guy.
Keynes wore a black suit with a tailcoat style, and he always had a gentle smile on his face, giving people a very sunny feeling. This gentleman was a senior figure in the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce, and he had a high status. As a member of the board of directors, he had a certain say. However, he was not the real helmsman. The president of the chamber of commerce had always been a mystery to the outside world, and outsiders did not know much information.
President Nathaniel is very low-key and rarely appears in public. The highest level of Chamber of Commerce personnel that the outside world has contact with is the board members like Keynes. So far, no one has ever seen the other side's Chamber of Commerce President. He is a mysterious existence.
Osta had a way of judging people and was not deceived by appearances. Out of courtesy, he extended his hand to shake hands with Keynes as a greeting, and then boarded the ship with Chris, Sophia and Julia, but did not bring the other guards with him.
The Edward cruise ship was docked at the Port of St. Louis, which belonged to Aosta's territory, so there was no need to worry about the other side cheating. Aosta didn't know much about Keynes' situation. According to the ranking of shares, this gentleman was a member of the board of directors in the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce. The board of directors was also nicknamed the Twelve Deacons. Keynes was one of the Twelve Deacons, and his rank was the same as that of his brother, the main person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce in the Obelisk Empire. Both of them were members of the Twelve Deacons.
So far, Keynes has not made a clear statement about which member of the Obelix Empire royal family he will support, and it is still unknown which prince he will support. Except for the third prince Osta, the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce has given gifts to several other princes. This is obviously the safest way of investment.
After Osta led his men aboard the Edward, Keynes finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the servants behind him immediately took out their handkerchiefs and handed them to Keynes so that the gentleman could wipe off his cold sweat.
Keynes's external identity is just an ordinary businessman. However, this gentleman is one of the few talented people with special skills in the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce, and he is not an ordinary businessman without self-defense skills.
Osta himself was not under pressure, as the gentleman prince had little fighting power. The main pressure came from the several exclusive female combat maids accompanying Osta. Chris and the other three were the only ones who had terrifying deterrent power. Just now, Yulia had been secretly watching Keynes, warning him not to act rashly.
With his special ability, Keynes quickly became a member of the Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce and one of the twelve deacons. When he met Osta this time, he wanted to use his special ability, but was seen through by Yulia and the others, so he had to give up.
"Lord Keynes, should we follow the original plan..."
"The people around Prince Osta are simply not... Never mind, let's confront him directly later! Use the second plan and prepare the gifts. I need his help this time."
"Lord Cairns, the gifts have been prepared a long time ago. However, considering the beauty of the maids around Prince Osta... the gifts we prepared don't seem to be good enough."
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. If the gift doesn't work, we can always change it. No one is a saint. There's always something that can impress people."
"Lord Keynes, this matter has not been agreed upon by other members of the Council. If they knew about it, I'm afraid they would..."
"Your vision is still too narrow. The old nobles in the Western Continent are deeply rooted in power and cannot be dealt with by gold coins. If they are suppressed by force in the future and the Chamber of Commerce is gone, we need an extra way out."
After Keynes finished talking with his entourage, he returned to the Edward. Near the dock, several pairs of eyes in the dark were staring at the Edward, preparing to launch a secret operation against this luxury cruise ship.
The enemy just waited until a certain gentleman prince left the lord's mansion, which was the best time to assassinate him. The assassins and assassins were not all targeting Prince Aosta, some of them had other targets, but they just happened to be in the same place.
When Osta went out this time, he did not ask Mirror to arrange for the secret police, the San Diego Black Hawks, to come, but asked them to continue to perform their usual tasks. The gentleman prince seemed to want to give the assassins a chance, or he might have other calculations and purposes in secret. After confirming that the target did not bring many guards with him, the assassins felt that their chance had come.
This banquet was held privately by Keynes, and he did not tell other members of the council in advance. He had other plans. The banquet party was relatively low-key and not publicized. Only guests who received invitations were eligible to attend the banquet. Keynes was very thoughtful. If the banquet was held too high-profile, it would be suspected of stealing the show, and it would most likely cause dissatisfaction from Lord Aosta. The current low-key way of holding it was the safest choice.
The business of Nathaniel Chamber of Commerce in the human race's western continent has been going smoothly so far. However, it is not a long-term solution. The ban system in the western continent is deeply rooted, especially in the nine empires, where the rule of the landlord class is absolute. In the eyes of the big landlords, the rich businessmen are just ATMs. Merchants are almost the same as farmers, and they are all leeks cut for others. The difference is that the former has more oil and water, and is a little fatter, while the latter cannot be pushed too hard every time, otherwise they may rebel.
In the Western Continent of the Human Race, the possibility of the merchant class rising is very low. Their Chamber of Commerce can only intervene in the politics of small countries until now. Relying on money, they can at most influence the political trends at the principality level. It is not possible to move up to the kingdom, not to mention the existence of the nine empires, which cannot be influenced by gold coins. Merchants in the Northern Continent can spend a lot of money to form their own armed forces, but the Western Continent does not allow it. Merchants who dare to do so will be found out. If they are found, the light punishment will be the confiscation of all personal property, and the whole family will be executed on the basis of the previous punishment.
Judging from the fact that Aosta opened a financial institution like the Blom Treasury, the other party was relatively open-minded. Unlike the royal nobles of other Western continents, they extremely despised businessmen. At least they supported the development of business. Keynes saw the possibility of cooperation and planned to take a gamble. This gentleman had the ambition to start his own business, but he had always suffered from the lack of opportunities.
Almost at the same time, in the center of Mesfilta Continent, the capital of the Obelisk Empire, the city of Onisret, deep inside the imperial palace, in the palace of Queen Margaret III, the Emerald Palace, Queen Margaret III was sitting at a gorgeous table, entertaining a mysterious visitor. On the table were various desserts and juices that looked exquisitely made and delicious, a luxurious afternoon tea.
The mysterious guest was wearing a black veil, and his true face was hidden. From the exposed white and tender hands and slender jade fingers, the gender of the mysterious guest could be confirmed. The owner of these hands should be a girl. Beside the Empress Margaret III, there stood several graceful ladies wearing masks. These were her personal guards. The mysterious beauty codenamed Mirror, who was sent to help Aosta before, was one of these guards.
"Your Highness Margaret, thank you for taking the time to accept my visit."
