Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't want to be pushed down by the players

"Forget it. The affairs of those great nobles are not something a caravan captain like me can get involved in."

When the caravan captain returned with the letter Bruce wrote to Marquis Lawrence, Bruce was already sitting in the reception room in the back hall of the town hall.

A handsome man who looked somewhat impressive respectfully served tea and snacks and then left the reception room.

It seems to be a nobleman?

Bruce sat in a strange-looking, but very comfortable soft chair.

His dark brown eyes surveyed the reception room with curiosity.

There was nothing expensive about it, and the artworks popular among the nobles in the royal capital looked rather simple and poor.

However, Bruce quite likes this simple decoration.

"Sorry, Viscount Bruce, I'm a little late."

While Bruce was looking at the decoration of the living room boredly, Yuni pushed open the door of the living room, and then Chris walked in hurriedly.

"Good day, Your Highness."

Bruce immediately put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and saluted respectfully.

"I just sat down here."

"That's good."

Under Bruce's curious gaze, Chris sat on the soft chair called a sofa with a completely different demeanor from when they met on the street a few days ago.

Then I saw the head maid named Yuni brought breakfast and placed it on the coffee table.

This made Bruce raise an eyebrow.

Although it’s not noon yet, it’s almost ten o’clock. Is Your Highness going to have breakfast at this time?

Then I thought about Chris's hurried footsteps when she walked into the reception room just now, and even her princess dress was a little messy because she was in a hurry to come here.

Bruce couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He now understood why foreigners were found in almost every corner of the continent.

But it just happened that Her Royal Highness the Princess was able to lead these strangers and, in just over two months, develop a territory that was once so remote and backward that it was not as good as some small towns in the mainland into its current thriving state.

Her Highness Chris has really used up all her energy and time to develop her territory and build this land.

I am so busy that I can only enjoy breakfast during this rare break.

"Lord Bruce, you don't mind, do you?"

Chris pointed at the breakfast in front of her and smiled sheepishly.

"of course not."

Bruce immediately waved his hand and said respectfully with emotion.

"Your Highness, you have worked so hard."

"what?"

Seeing that Bruce didn't mind, Chris, who was about to enjoy breakfast with little Isa, looked up with a confused look on her face.

She gave Bruce a strange look.

I don’t understand what I did to such an effort that I accidentally overslept and forgot I had to meet him.

However, since this was a compliment to herself, Chris smiled and nodded gracefully.

“Just doing what I have to do.”

"There are many nobles in the kingdom who cannot do such a thing."

Bruce sighed softly and stopped disturbing Chris from having breakfast.

He politely left his seat temporarily, walked to the other side of the reception room, picked up a book from the bookshelf and started reading.

"I'm truly sorry to have kept you waiting, Viscount Bruce."

After finishing her breakfast with satisfaction, Chris finally stood up and prepared to start the purpose of her meeting with Viscount Bruce Lawrence today.

Bruce put down the book in his hand and quickly returned to the sofa.

He looked at Chris seriously.

"Your Highness Princess Chris, I sincerely wish to join your territory."

"Can you tell me why?"

Although she had already read the intelligence, Chris still asked again in a serious tone.

She was shocked when the third son of Marquis Lawrence said he wanted to join her territory.

"Because, in your territory, Your Highness, I see many possibilities."

"Including, what you want in your heart?"

Chris raised her head, her big blue eyes fixed on Bruce.

Chapter 104:35 New scapegoat, I'm not talking about the subordinates joining

Bruce sat on the sofa and nodded slowly but seriously into Chris's big blue eyes.

He hated the fact that he and his two brothers were scheming against each other for the title of Marquis, although it would not completely wipe out their family ties.

But he still didn't like it.

Bruce believes in himself even more. He believes that with the knight sword in his hand and his own abilities, he can fight for a title and show his brilliance to the world.

Not because of the last name Lawrence, but because of his father.

Of course, Bruce is not so immature as to abandon his background, but he prefers to use his own abilities to prove himself and get what he wants.

"Your Highness, I am convinced that what I have seen and heard in your territory these past few days will provide me with a good stage to showcase myself."

Suddenly, Bruce, who had always maintained the elegance of a noble young man, showed in front of Chris the sharpness and boldness that a young man should have.

He looked at Chris confidently, not seeming to worry that the princess would reject him.

Because during these three days, Bruce had learned some basic information about Vader City.

He was convinced that the senior officials of Weide City were no longer able to keep up with the rapid development of this princess territory.

The shortage of manpower, mainly at the management level, is limiting the city's development speed.

Although Turner City is an important town in the north of the kingdom, it has many large families and is relatively developed in terms of economy, politics and culture.

But as the controller of Turner City and a direct descendant of the Lawrence family, Bruce also knew very well what was restricting Wade City.

Military nobles are more likely to emerge in border areas, but political nobles rarely stand out in border areas, and each one of them is a precious resource.

So Bruce knew why the princess in front of him had completely taken control of the territory, but why there was still only one assistant minister among the top leaders to help handle government affairs.

In this situation, Bruce was not worried about being rejected.

Sure enough, in the face of Bruce's confident yet slightly nervous mood, Chris nodded after just a slight hesitation.

“My favorite thing is to…”

Chris raised her little hand to her mouth, coughed lightly, and quickly changed her words.

"Lord Bliss, I am very happy and grateful that you are willing to join my territory when it is still weak."

No matter how confident he was, Bruce still felt relieved when he heard Chris accept his joining.

"Lord Bruce."

Chris shouted.

"Your Highness, since you have accepted my membership, just call me Bruce."

Bruce, who was sitting on the sofa, completed his identity transformation in the first time and bent down slightly to show his respect for Chris.

"Ok."

Chris readily changed the address and then smiled gently and elegantly.

"Since you have chosen to join me in leading the decline, there are some things I feel I need to make clear to you."

"Yes, Your Highness, I am very willing."

Bruce immediately sat up straight and looked at Chris seriously.

"Although I'm a little embarrassed, you should have noticed that although my territory is developing well, it is very short of government officials."

Bruce nodded slightly without any flattery. He firmly believed that he could join Chris's camp because of this.

"So, Bruce, you may have to take on a lot of important tasks in the future, and it will be quite hard."

Chris said this frankly without changing her expression, looking at Bruce seriously with her big blue eyes.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I won't find it hard. On the contrary, I will regard this pressure as a stage to showcase myself."

"Well, that's good."

Chris gently raised her hand and covered the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Also, the issue of treatment."

Speaking of this, Chris's cheeks suddenly felt hot.

Because she suddenly realized that after two months in Wade City, he seemed to have not yet paid his subordinates Donald, Rodlan and Caris.

I am not Zhou Paopi or Huang Shiren.

Chris defended herself in her heart, saying that she did not exploit her subordinates and not pay them wages.

"Bruce, as you can see, my territory is still developing. Basically, all the income from the City Lord's Mansion is invested in construction, so..."

"I understand." Bruce nodded nonchalantly.

This made Chris, who was originally a little embarrassed and ashamed, dilate her pupils slightly and look at Bruce in surprise.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I don't care about treatment."

Bruce raised the corners of his mouth elegantly and confidently.

As the son of a marquis, how could he care about such little treatment?

The reason he joined Chris's camp was because he saw the rapidly developing Wade City showed him huge potential and wanted to use it as a stage for himself to step onto the world stage.

If it was for money, Bruce believed that with his status, there would be plenty of people in Turner City willing to give him large amounts of gold coins.

"Since you don't care about the treatment, Bruce, let's skip this."

Chris's smile immediately became bright and friendly.

She said in a soft tone.

"Because Bruce, you have just joined my territory, and there are many things you don't know yet."

"So, I'll have to ask you to be the head of the secretarial team for the time being, assisting Donald in handling the government affairs of Weide City."

"Since you have led a caravan, Bruce, I would like to trouble you to temporarily serve as the Minister of Commerce of Weide City and handle some of Weide City's business affairs."

Under Bruce's surprised gaze, Chris reached out and took a document from Yuni behind her and handed it to him.

"This is your transfer document,"

"Ahem, I'm a little embarrassed, Bruce, you've just joined and you've already been given troublesome tasks."

"I don't care!"

Bruce's eyes widened, and he excitedly stretched out his hands to take the documents from Chris.

His bet was not wrong, but he did not expect that he would be given such an important position and job on his first day.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."

"Ah."

Chrissy tapped her chin slightly.

Bruce, who took on important work and responsibilities on his first day in office, couldn't wait to go on stage and show his abilities to the world.

He immediately stood up and left the reception room.

After Bruce left, Chris immediately smiled with ease.

She was very happy because she finally had a minister in her territory who could take the blame, ahem, and take charge of commercial and government affairs.
