Lords go left, Emperors go right

"So it's Her Highness Carlo Flan. I was so disrespectful earlier. It seems that there are quite a few gentlemen in the Western Continent who have a special liking for the special goods of princesses."

"Please... stop joking. I... everything I said is true."

"Your Highness Carlofran, do you have a token that can prove your identity? If not, I cannot believe your one-sided statement."

"I..."

Aosta's handsome face showed a kind and sunny smile, but Princess Carlo Vran felt her heart sink to the bottom in an instant. The gentleman prince obviously asked this on purpose. With her current terrible appearance and posture, how could she have anything to prove her identity?

Princess Granelle from next door at least had a crown that belonged to a princess, which she could use as a token of her identity at critical moments. Princess Carlofran didn't like to wear a princess crown when she went out for activities, so at such special moments, she didn't have the key prop to prove her identity.

Now, Carolan regretted her previous daily habits. Her current equipment was only black silk gloves and pantyhose, a thin black lace hollow underwear on the upper body, and a thin white pantyhose under the pantyhose. In addition, her hands and feet were sealed by the red ribbons wrapped around them, which made her more passive. Her body center of gravity was forced to lean forward, maintaining a half-bowed kneeling posture.

If it weren't for the help of a certain gentleman lord, Carlo Vran's current ability to speak would still be sealed by the red ball with holes, and she would have no chance to communicate with Osta. Those equipment were only temporarily removed and could be put back at any time.

"How do you want me to prove it? Sir, I really didn't lie to you. Please believe me."

"It's not that there is no way. I can send someone to contact the Kalanilda Empire. That should prove your identity as a princess. Then, maybe you can get a good reward."

"Don't...don't send anyone to contact them. I...I escaped."

Princess Carlofran was completely unable to resist Aosta's relentless offensive, and soon followed the footsteps of Princess Granelle, who had slept with her before, and had to confess all her secrets to a gentleman prince. That was her last chance. If she didn't confess now, she probably wouldn't have the chance to confess in the future, as the gentleman lord was unlikely to give her another chance.

A certain gentleman looked at Carolan with a meaningful look, not hiding the special thoughts deep in his heart, as if examining a precious treasure. The other party's eyes swept around Princess Carolan, especially on the pair of round peaks and other special parts, staying longer, as if he was evaluating the goods. Carolan had a hot body, and in terms of the peak, it was even more majestic than the previous Granelle. The altitude was at least D above, and the ravines were obvious, making it difficult for people not to notice it.

"Don't rush to decide. Although I can't repay you right now, I can tell you about an opportunity to get rich quickly."

"Carolan, don't you still have a way to repay me now? Princess, you know what I mean."

"That kind of thing...that kind of thing is not...allowed..."

Osta didn't give Carlofran a chance to think. He walked forward and stretched out his hand to gently press on the elastic bulge, as if to assess the price. Although there were black silk pantyhose and thin white panties between them, Osta still felt the special elasticity and smoothness from his hands. After all, the fabric was too thin to block the penetration, but it added a lot of black interest.

Carolfran couldn't bear the fatal caress at all. Her snow-white body trembled, but she didn't dare to struggle too much, for fear of irritating the opponent and making him more aggressive. The gentleman prince's magic hand had already firmly locked the prey's buttocks, and it was almost impossible for the opponent to break free. Carolfran's current posture was the type that was quite convenient for breaking in from behind.

Carlo Vran was just like Princess Granelle before, her poses were extremely provocative. This made it easy for people to lose control, and under impulse, the body's primitive instincts exploded. It was impossible for Osta not to have those thoughts. Just now, he and Princess Granelle had very intimate physical contact.

Now, with Princess Carlofran, who was almost as beautiful and graceful as Princess Granelle, many bold ideas and plans flashed through the mind of this gentleman lord, and many indescribable and exciting scenes flashed through his mind.

Osta's silence made Princess Carlofran panic, thinking that the other party was going to proceed directly to the next step and skip the interrogation. At this time, Princess Carlofran no longer hesitated and confessed all her secrets to Osta without beating around the bush. The other party seemed to have no time to play Tai Chi with her, so the key was to be straightforward and get straight to the point.

It turned out that Carloflan was the former princess of the Karanilda Empire, who was expelled because of a domestic coup. Carloflan's father was the former emperor of the Karanilda Empire, Caldis V. After Caldis V ascended the throne, he ruled the Karanilda Empire for five years.

Over the past five years, Emperor Caldis V has worked hard to govern the country and introduced a series of reform measures to try to ease the increasingly serious class contradictions in the empire. The domestic environment of the Karanilda Empire is quite special, and the gap between the rich and the poor is greater than that of most human countries.

The great nobles who controlled the mining rights of the ice blue crystal minerals had the Council of Elders as their core of power. They were very powerful in the Kalanilda Empire and could even directly influence the appointment and dismissal of the emperor. The emperors of all dynasties had to give face to the Council of Elders.

When Emperor Caldis V started his reforms, his relationship with the Senate was good, and he even received the support of the Senate. However, as the reforms progressed, the contradictions between the two sides gradually emerged, leading to an increasingly tense situation in the Kalanilda Empire. Some of the emperor's reform measures had seriously violated the bottom line and fundamental interests of the Senate.

After negotiations and warnings failed, the Senate began to take covert or overt actions against Emperor Caldis V, plotting to change the emperor. Some members of the Senate who were more arrogant and conceited even publicly expressed their concerns about the future of the Calanilda Empire, and openly questioned the various reform measures introduced by Emperor Caldis V.

The conflict between the two sides broke out a month ago. Emperor Caldis V tried to dispatch troops to suppress the Senate and forcibly disband this old aristocratic power center that had existed for many years. However, the Senate had existed in the Karanilda Empire for many years, since the founding of the country. It had been operating until now, and its foundation was deeply rooted, far from being easily changed by an emperor who had just taken over the empire for a few years.

Most of the senior generals of the imperial army stood on the side of the Elders Council and chose to support the Elders Council at the last moment. A month ago, Emperor Caldis V was preempted by the Elders Council and expelled from power through a coup, claiming that the emperor was unwell and unfit to continue to handle state affairs. Caldis V's younger brother Calvos ascended the throne with the support of the Elders Council and became the new emperor of the Caranilda Empire, known as Calvos VII.

Calvos had always been at odds with his brother Caldis. The two brothers had serious conflicts over the issue of the empire's reform, and eventually parted ways. After the former emperor Caldis V was expelled from power, the elders placed the emperor Caldis's family under house arrest in a secret place in the name of "recuperation". Princess Carloflan happened to be away from the capital of the empire at that time, so she escaped.

However, after receiving the news of the coup in the capital of the empire, Carlo Flan was worried that she would be affected, so she escaped immediately and boarded the large merchant ship "Flying Bird". The princess originally planned to sneak to the mainland country for refuge, but she did not expect that the ship would be attacked by the Naga Siren.

Princess Carlofran escaped on a lifeboat, but encountered the Siren while floating in the sea of ​​Cebrus. After several twists and turns, she finally fell into the hands of the gentleman prince Aosta.

"Carlofran, I am just a humble businessman. You'd better ask someone else to help your father restore the throne! If this is the opportunity to get rich quickly you're talking about, then our conversation today ends here."

"Sir, you don't need to help my father restore his country. Caldis V is just... just my adoptive father. I was adopted by the royal family and was not welcomed or valued by them. I have always been arranged outside the capital of the empire. This time it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!"

"Sir, don't rush to make a decision. I have been working outside the empire. I have discovered a type of energy crystal with huge reserves and better development prospects than ice blue crystals. If we mine it, we will get greater profits."

"The Elders Council knows some of my research results. They want to eliminate the existence of new energy crystals and maintain the monopoly of ice blue crystals in the market."

"Although you are just a businessman, if you are willing to help me spread the news of this new energy crystal to the mainland countries, it will definitely attract the interest of many members of the imperial family. At that time, those emperors will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Carlofran, you have found the right person. You don't need to tell them. I can take care of this exclusive information on my own. Please tell me in detail!"

"Sir, you...you are the king of the Obelisk Empire...His Highness Osta! Didn't you just say that you are just an ordinary..."

"Carlo Fran, don't worry about these details, let's talk about business."

Chapter 210 The special fleet returns successfully with a full load

The Kalanilda Empire has become the richest country among the five island empires in the Atlandia Sea area due to its abundant production of "Ice Blue Crystals", a special energy crystal. However, the mining rights and foreign sales rights of Ice Blue Crystals have always been firmly controlled by the old aristocratic forces such as the Empire Elders Council, and the financial affairs are in their hands.

Whether it is the former Emperor Caltis V who was ousted by a coup, or the current Emperor Calvos VII who ascended to the throne after a coup, they cannot get involved in the control of the ice blue crystals, and the elders will not let go easily.

Prince Osta learned an astonishing secret from Princess Carlofran. One of the professions of this imperial princess was an alchemist. After investigation and research, she found that ice blue crystals were not the best energy crystals.

Carolan found a new energy crystal that has a wider distribution area, is easier to refine and transform, and contains energy concentration several times higher than the ice blue crystal. She named it "Deep Blue Crystal".

The deep blue crystals were widely distributed on the islands of the Atlantia Sea, unlike the ice blue crystals which were only found on the islands of the Karanilda Empire. This discovery brought disaster to Princess Carloflan.

Carolfran was originally an abandoned baby that the former Emperor Caldis V found by chance on an abandoned lifeboat on the beach when he was patrolling the island in his early years. The two parties were foster father and daughter, and the princess was just a nominal one. Carolfran was not comparable to the pure-blooded imperial princesses, so she was often looked down upon. Fortunately, she was strong and took the cold shoulder lightly.

When Emperor Caldis V first came to power, he wanted to show his generosity to the people so that he could implement a conciliatory reform policy. He adopted Princess Carlofran more for show.

The emperor himself was not very concerned about this adopted daughter. At the time of the coup, the elders wanted to let this foreign princess go. However, after learning that Carlofran had discovered the deep blue crystal, the elders changed their attitude and planned to kill her to silence her.

The deep blue crystals are so widely distributed that they are almost all over the islands in the Atlantia Sea. It is not certain whether other islands in the oceans will have similar energy crystal minerals. Once Princess Carloflan makes this research result and the refining method public and let a third party know about it, the fundamental interests of the Kalanilda Empire will be fatally impacted.

The ice blue crystals will be dominated by the dark blue crystals because of their poor cost performance. The worst thing is that the dark blue crystals are not like the ice blue crystals, which are a resource unique to the Kalanilda Empire. Not to mention the four neighbors next door, the islands of other island countries in the Atlandia Sea also have dark blue crystals. If they also mine, they will take away most of the overseas market of the Kalanilda Empire.

In order to avoid this situation, the elders of the Kalanilda Empire would spare no expense and intend to strangle the future of the Deep Blue Crystal in the cradle. As long as Princess Carloflan disappears forever, the development of the Deep Blue Crystal will be completely terminated.

Princess Carloflan was therefore wanted. In the name of the Karanilda Empire, the Senate announced that the former princess was a traitor and had taken away a lot of important imperial confidential information. They offered a reward of two million gold coins for her head, not alive, and it was obvious that they wanted to silence her completely.

"Two million gold coins, that's a lot... The Kalanilda Empire is really wealthy."

"Your Highness Osta, the bounty seems to have increased to three million gold coins. You...you are not planning to sell me out..."

"Carlofran, don't worry. It's only three million gold coins. It's not like I haven't seen gold coins before. If we develop deep blue crystals in the future, the value will definitely be more than this."

"Your Highness Aosta, what are you going to do with him...what are you going to do with him?"

In a high-end room on the "Bird", Princess Carlofran confessed all her secrets to Aosta, and with a shy blush on her face, she asked the gentleman prince questions in a gentle tone to see how he would arrange the follow-up. Princess Carlofran, like Princess Granelle next door, is a beautiful woman with a delicate mind.

After Carlofran arrived at the "Bird", she saw the special attitudes of the waiters on the ship. This beautiful woman with blond hair and emerald green eyes more or less guessed some of Prince Aosta's special interests and hobbies. The restrictive props on her body were not removed, and she still had a terrible attitude of letting people taste her at will and do whatever they want. It would be strange if this gentleman lord did not have bold ideas in that regard.

"Carolan, you are a smart lady. What do you think I should do with you?"

"Your Highness Aosta, you... you are really..."

Osta has long been a master in handling this kind of negotiation issues. With a gentle smile on his face, he "cunningly" kicked the ball back to Princess Carlofran and let the other party express her own position.

Although Osta was in a dominant position and did not need to ask for the other party's opinion, this gentleman prince liked to see the girl's shy face and say shameful words. The black sense of achievement was very much to Osta's liking, so he deliberately continued to whet the other party's appetite.

Carolan's face was flushed, like a ripe red apple. The prince looked very gentlemanly, but his movements never stopped. The claws that were stroking and groping her buttocks had no intention of stopping. Carolan had already guessed what he wanted.

Compared with wealth, a certain gentleman lord seemed to be more interested in supporting the girl's body. In Osta's view, the deep blue crystals and other energy crystals were just the girl's dowry. If he got the girl, he would naturally keep her as a gift.

"Your Highness Aosta, I...I am applying for political asylum from you. I hope you can take me in. In return, you...you can make any requests you want, and I will try my best to meet them."

"Carlofran, you should have met Princess Granelle who slept with you before. She just asked me for political asylum, and the price was everything she had. So, you should understand what I mean!"

"Your Highness Aosta, this... this is too despicable, I..."

"Carlofran, I'm a little short of money lately and need to exchange a large amount of gold coins urgently. It looks like I've found a way today."

"Your Highness Osta, I...I understand. I will...I will follow your instructions. Whatever Princess Granelle can do, I...I can do too."

Princess Carlofran had no choice but to obey. She had few cards to play, almost no trump cards. Anyway, Carlofran was in the Karanilda Empire. She had been listed as a traitor and was now homeless. She didn't feel too guilty about turning to Prince Aosta. She didn't feel like a traitor.

Even if she hadn't met Prince Osta, Carlo Vran would have to pay this special price sooner or later when she came into contact with other forces and sought cooperation. Meeting Osta now was just like fate making a choice for her in advance.

"Carlofran, you better stay by my side now. When you get to my territory, Bloomfield, no matter how powerful the elders of your Karanilda Empire are, they won't dare to come to my territory to cause trouble."

"If they come to snatch people, don't blame me for being rude. Carlo Flan, my father may not be very interested in island countries, but I am different."

"Your Highness Aosta, thank you for your protection. This... This is to..."

"Nothing, Carolan, just a simple job of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. I don't want this outfit that represents the past anymore."

A meaningful smile flashed across Osta's face. He made a gesture, and the exclusive attendants on the "Flying Bird" came over. Princess Carloflan didn't even know what was going on before the red ribbon covered everything in front of her, and her speech ability was resealed by the red spherical prop with holes. A moment later, Carloflan felt an unusual coolness all over her body, a chilly feeling.

Similar to Princess Grannelle before, Carlofran also received special services from the maids. All the unnecessary equipment on her body was removed, including the black silk gloves and pantyhose, and the thin pure white panties underneath, leaving only the red ribbon wrapped around her outfit to restrict her movements.

As the leader of all these special actions, Osta turned around and left the room in a gentlemanly manner. Next, the maids would help Princess Carlofran wipe her whole body. However, before turning around, Osta accidentally saw that there seemed to be a special magic mark on the elastic bulge behind Princess Carlofran.

This mark was not the seal of the royal family of the Karanilda Empire. Because Princess Carlovran was wearing black silk pantyhose, Osta had not seen the special mark on her buttocks. Considering that she was adopted by Emperor Caldis V, this magic mark was likely related to Princess Carlovran's origins and her true identity. Osta deliberately did not bring it up, intending to explore it slowly when he had the chance.

After dealing with Princess Granel and Princess Carlofran, Osta was in a very good mood. Accompanied by Chris and Sofia, he came to the deck of the "Flying Bird", admiring the sea and chatting with them. The fleet was waiting to land at the port of St. Louis after nightfall.

As long as he reaches the dock, steps onto his exclusive territory again, and arrives in the Bloomfield area, Osta will be truly relieved. This trip to the Cybrus Sea, Osta has gained a lot, even more than the slave traders who sailed and traded at sea all year round, such as the "Smiling Fat Man" Maxim. Although the amount of goods he bought may not be as good as the latter, the quality of the goods is likely to be far better than the latter.

The most shameless thing was that Osta directly robbed the goods from the Naga Siren and the Sirens, almost at zero cost, unlike Maxim and his friends who had to pay gold coins when purchasing goods. The other beauties who were rescued from the Sirens' lair and the Sirens' Queen's Palace in the center of Saipan found themselves on a pirate ship when they were settled on the "Flying Bird", but it was too late.

After a brief mental struggle, these latecomers also expressed their willingness to accept all the follow-up arrangements made by the gentleman prince, and the thin underwear, panties and silk stockings they were equipped with were quickly removed.

These beauties were captured by the Siren for some time, and they have long been listed as missing and dead in their place of origin. Going back would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, so starting a new life in a new place might be a better choice.

"Chris, where did Yulia go? Why can't I see her?"

"Lord Osta, Yulia has secretly returned to Port St. Louis, saying she is going to meet up with Miss Mirror."

"Lord Osta, I heard that Yulia planned to secretly investigate in advance to see if there are people from that mysterious organization lurking at the dock."

"I see. I almost forgot about these damn lurkers. Chris, we have to find a way to completely eliminate these malicious outsiders."

Aosta looked at the increasingly prosperous Port of St. Louis in the distance, and the thriving scene gave him a sense of accomplishment. More and more ships were coming and going from the Port of St. Louis. After the neighboring Port of Mager was destroyed by fire, the Port of St. Louis took advantage of the absence of its main competitor to expand in one fell swoop, becoming the largest commercial port in the area.

The ownership of the Port of Mager was also reassigned to Aosta. For quite a long time, there would be no other competitor to Aosta in the coastal port area.

The political changes in the five empires in the Atlantia Sea will affect the maritime trade routes of the Port of St. Louis, and Aosta cannot stay out of it completely. The most ideal way is to support one of the island empires, gradually unify this sea area, and conquer the other four island countries.

This method is quite difficult to implement. Among the five empires in the Atlantia Sea, there is no strong one. They have been evenly matched for many years, and it is too difficult for Osta to find a suitable agent to support him.

The Abigrans Empire is constantly fighting for the succession to the throne, and the situation is still unclear. The various factions within the Rafatilt Empire are seriously divided, and the various imperial naval fleets have become warlords who rule their own territories. The emperor is helpless against these dictatorial warlords, and the imperial power is seriously challenged.

The political system of the Kalanilda Empire is mainly a dictatorship of the Senate, and the emperor who holds the highest power in the country has little say. As for these three island countries, Aosta immediately removed them from the list of supported agents, and they could not be helped at all.

Of the remaining two island empires, the Cecilien Empire is a rare one where a queen and princess are in power. Its foreign policy has always been conservative, and it tends to be peaceful and closed. The country will basically not stand out and compete for the position of regional hegemony in the Atlandia Sea unless something major happens.

The only option, the Malgas Empire, also had problems. The royal nobles of this island empire were extremely warlike, not only wanting to annex other island countries, but also wanting to get their hands on the land of mainland countries. If they were really supported, it would be too difficult to control them, so Osta needed to consider and choose carefully.

Fortunately, the Malgas Empire had a civil war not long ago, and after a while of fighting, a lot of manpower was consumed, and now the foreign policy seems to be much more restrained. Otherwise, other island countries in the Atlantia Sea would definitely be attacked by the empire.

Most people don't like this kind of difficult-to-control agent, and Osta is no exception. After thinking for a while, he found awkwardly that none of the five empires in the Atlandia Sea was suitable to be supported to become the overlord of this sea area.

"Lord Osta, the port has been thoroughly checked. There are no lurkers. You can land safely."

"Yulia, please excuse me, Miss Mirror. By the way, the people from the Eye of Horus, that mysterious organization, have they been doing a lot of covert actions in our territory port recently?"

"Lord Osta, I just exchanged the latest information with Mirror. They have been conducting frequent reconnaissance activities here recently. There are also investigations in the territories of other princes. As for the purpose of their actions, it is not clear yet."

"Yulia, please step up surveillance and try to catch their high-level undercover members."

By midnight, the noisy Port of St. Louis finally welcomed a relative tranquility. Many places were much quieter and calmed down temporarily. Aosta's fleet finally had the opportunity to secretly dock at this relatively remote dock, and then secretly transferred the special cargo loaded on the ship to the lord's mansion, the luxurious villa.

Osta was a little helpless at this time. As a lord, he had to carry out such activities secretly in his own territory, which was like smuggling. It was a bit of black humor when he thought about it.

There are too many undercover personnel in the mysterious organization "Eye of Horus", who have been secretly monitoring every move on the lands of various lords. Osta does not want outsiders to see it easily and have a chance to catch him and use it to make a big fuss and criticize him.

Therefore, this operation can only be carried out in secret. Osta is waiting for a suitable opportunity, vowing to catch all the spies arranged by the "Eye of Horus" in his territory and eliminate all those lurking personnel.

Chapter 211 Business Partner Returning from Overseas

After returning from the Sea of ​​Cebrus, Osta's fleet finally docked at the Port of St. Louis, boarded the dock, and returned to his territory, the Bloomfield area. After returning to his sphere of influence, Osta was finally relieved and felt a lot more relaxed.

After Osta arrived at his territory, he didn't have to worry about any accidents or changes. When Osta returned to the lord's mansion, the luxurious villa, it was already midnight. This voyage gained a lot. Osta looked at the luxurious villa in front of him and had a new idea.

Although the villa is large and there is no problem now, it is not certain whether it can accommodate the special collections brought back by a certain gentleman in the future. It seems that the plan to build a new villa and a new lord's mansion needs to be put on the agenda and preparations need to be made in advance.

Before the super city Odyssey was completed and took shape, Aosta needed a spacious lord's mansion suitable for use during the transition period. Aosta had too many special collections that he didn't want the outside world to know about, especially since there might be many lurkers belonging to the mysterious organization "Eye of Horus" in Aosta's territory. A castle that could effectively prevent prying eyes and facilitate his golden house to hide his mistress became very important at this time.

The lord's mansion seemed very quiet at night. Chris and the other exclusive combat maids accompanying Osta had already helped Osta prepare the room for him to rest tonight. These people had a special position and status beside Prince Osta.

Chris and the others were the type who were not afraid at all and did not worry about being ambushed by a gentleman. With their strength, even if the gentleman prince really had any bold ideas, he would have to hide them in his heart.

"Your Highness Aosta, I...Is this where I will be working from now on?"

"Aishia, since the work location is not ready yet, you can stay in my mansion and work first. The room is very comfortable and the atmosphere is warm."

"I understand, Your Highness Aosta. I will work hard."

"Aishia, as long as you don't do what your old man did and try to discredit me, everything else will be easy for you."

"Your Highness Aosta, I...I will definitely not work under you..."
