As expected, Orson still dotes on himself the most!

With this favor, Li Te can turn it into endless motivation.

Lit thought so, quickly finished the breakfast in front of him, wiped his mouth, and said anxiously:

"Then... without further ado, Orson, teach me now!"

"Ah."

Orson nodded.

The misunderstanding between the two caused by waking up in the morning was gradually forgotten.

At this time, the door of the room was opened and a servant stood at the door.

"Master Leeteuk, do you have any instructions for lunch?"

The moment they saw the servant, Orson and Litt were stunned.

Seeing the two standing there in a daze, the servant tilted his head and then said in confusion:

"Um...Excuse me, is there anything strange on my face?"

At this time, the two of them also reacted.

It seems that the servant did not see the demonic features in Orson?

Litt glanced at Orson and found that Orson's horns were so small that they were covered by his hair. A little bulge could be barely seen from the side, but it was basically invisible from the front.

Orson was facing the door at the moment, so the servant could not see anything. He only knew that the guest brought by Litt was also a handsome man.

Lit was the first to react, and then he spoke:

"Ahem... For lunch, prepare some food according to the specialties here. Remember to prepare portions for two people and send it to the door."

"Ok."

The servant heard this and nodded.

"By the way, remember to knock on the door next time you come in."

"Oh, okay, I'm sorry for being rude."

At this time, the servant finally understood why the two of them were stunned just now, and she kept bowing and apologizing. She had just started working here not long ago, and happened to take a day off yesterday because of something at home.

You know, for ordinary people like them who have no fighting ability, it is really hard to find a job like a maid which does not require much work, has comfortable and decent working conditions and high salary. She does not want to lose her job because of this mistake.

Therefore, she had to keep her job even if it meant giving up all her dignity.

"it's okay no problem."

Even Orson felt that the maid in front of him was overreacting, so he quickly spoke to comfort her.

"That's right, we won't fire you, so don't be so nervous." Li Te also spoke at this time.

"Really...really? Thank you, Lord Lit!" The maid said this, bowed to Lit again, and then prepared to leave the room.

"correct."

At this time, Lit called out to the other party.

"Ah...anything else?"

The maid asked timidly.

"Do you remember what I told you just now?"

"Well, remember to prepare a local lunch for two and send it to the room. Also, be sure to knock on the door before entering next time."

"Okay, you have a good memory. Go back." Litt nodded with satisfaction, and the maid left the room.

After the maid left, Orson looked at Lit with a smile on his face.

This made Litt a little confused.

"Orson...you, why are you laughing all of a sudden?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of you, Li Te, when you first came to our house, you were also like her, trembling with fear, right?"

As he said this, Orson showed a nostalgic look.

"But the two of them are in different positions after all."

As if she was afraid that Li Te would mistakenly think that she was comparing her to a maid, she quickly added.

"What's the big deal..." Li Te muttered softly after hearing that.

"It's not like I didn't wear a maid outfit during the school festival..."

"Huh?" Orson looked at Litt, curious about what she had just said.

"Nothing!" Li Te quickly ended the topic.

Chapter 76: Not an Outsider

It was noon when Orson handed the letter he wrote to Litt. After having lunch with Orson, Litt returned to Saint Laurent City with the letter.

It has to be said that the cabinet system prepared by Orson in advance, whether for the purpose of dividing power to avoid the emergence of tyrants or simply to reduce the pressure on the rulers, has been of great help to the current situation.

At least, Orson doesn't have to show up, and Chelinina can do everything in the cabinet.

Afternoon, Saint Laurent City, the Royal Palace.

In the garden, two girls were sitting at the tea table, enjoying exquisite afternoon tea.

"The Lison Chamber of Commerce made a great contribution to the Imperial City incident this time. I will naturally remember this favor in my heart."

Elsa, wearing a white dress, looked at Chelinina who was sitting opposite her and spoke with a smile.

During this period, she first won the hearts of the local nobles in Saint Laurent City, and then gradually re-established ties with other areas under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family and the army.

And today, she invited Chelinina alone to discuss the next issue.

"So, Your Majesty invited me here today as the president of the Lison Chamber of Commerce?"

Chelinina asked.

It’s no wonder that Chelinina chooses her words carefully. After all, Chelinina’s current status is extremely special.

Although politics and business have always been inseparable, there are few businessmen like Chelinina who can achieve such a large scale and at the same time control the political power of a duchy.

Before Celinina, most merchants in the empire wanted to stay away from politics as much as possible, but they also hoped that their families could obtain political benefits. Therefore, although the head of the family would not obtain a political status, he would seek various preferential treatments through marriages between family members and nobles.

It can be said that Celinina pioneered the commercial history of the empire.

Of course, she was not a noble yet, nor did she have a hereditary estate. Theoretically, once she resigned from her position as cabinet minister, she would be no different from an ordinary businessman.

But after all, he holds the power of a dukedom, and anyone would probably seek some benefits for himself.

"Of course." Elsa said with a smile.

"However, if you wish to add the identity of Chief Minister of the Napoli Cabinet, I would not mind."

"That's not necessary."

The distinction between public and private matters was something that Chelinina understood clearly.

It was because of this that Orson felt relieved to hand over Napoli to Celinina.

"Haha, as expected, Miss Chelinina is worthy of being valued by Duke Orson. She will not disappoint us."

Elsa's previous sentence was a half-joking test.

After all, all the political and business power of a dukedom is monopolized by one person. If that person has some corrupt intentions, then unfair competition will be a small matter, and all kinds of corruption may breed from it.

But judging from the conversation over the past few minutes, as well as the recovery of the Duchy of Naples, Celinina is not that kind of person.

She may have a hankering for power, but she is never intoxicated by it.

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point."

Elsa said as she took out a thick stack of documents.

"After this civil war, many cities directly under the royal family's jurisdiction were severely damaged, especially Saint Laurent City. The statistics of casualties have been released. The death toll may have reached more than 100,000 due to my brother's previous wrong move. Many buildings in the city were also damaged."

"So... Your Majesty, you want my Lison Chamber of Commerce to help clean up the ruins?"

"Do not."

Elsa shook her head.

"To be precise, I want your Lison Chamber of Commerce to rebuild a new urban area on top of the ruins according to the design ideas of the new urban area of ​​Antica City."

"Judging from the results and speed of the previous Antica City project, the Lison Chamber of Commerce is fully capable of this and has the efficiency to do so."

"Then you have found the right person."

Hearing this, Chelinina nodded.

"We can totally accept this condition."

"it is good."

Seeing that Chelinina agreed, Erza's mission was completed.

Demolition and reconstruction require a large sum of money. Handing this big order to the Lison Chamber of Commerce can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

It can not only benefit the Lison Chamber of Commerce, but also use the efficiency of the Lison Chamber of Commerce to quickly complete the post-war reconstruction work.

Looking at the future business giant of the empire in front of her, Elsa wanted to further strengthen the relationship between the two. In addition, she had heard about Chelinina's fortune before, so she asked:

"I heard, Miss Chelinina, that you have a very good relationship with Orson?"

"Ah."

Chelinina did not deny it, but added further:

"Orson is my great benefactor. Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today."

"At first, I was just the least prominent of the three children of the Bonaventura family. Facing the wheel of fate, my resistance seemed so powerless. If Orson hadn't helped me, I would probably have been unwillingly married to a strange noble family."

Elsa was deeply touched when she heard what Chelinina said, because she had also been through the same thing.

"Indeed, Orson also helped me a lot."

"I am at a disadvantage in the line of succession. If it weren't for Orson, I wouldn't be able to sit in my current position."

"It seems that we are actually quite similar. We have both been helped by Orson." Elsa said this and laughed.

Then her expression dimmed again.

Seeing this, Chelinina asked in confusion:

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

He was smiling one second and suddenly became unhappy the next.

Are all emperors so unpredictable?

"I... Chelinina, although you received a lot of help from Orson, you gave it back to Orson step by step, didn't you?"

Of course, in Celinina's heart, no matter how much she repays Orson, it is never too much. However, from the outside world's perspective, Celinina and Orson have given to each other.

But when it comes to Elsa, it seems that it is always Elsa who is asking Orson for help, troubling Orson, and asking Orson to help her.

"I also want to help Orson now, but I don't have the best way, alas..."

Having said this, she sighed again.

At this moment, Chelinina glanced outside the garden and saw a maid looking towards them.

When their eyes met, Chelinina knew something was going to happen.

So, she looked at Elsa opposite her and said:

"Your Majesty, it seems your maid has something to ask you?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Elsa turned around and saw the maid.

"Let's just chat here, is that okay?"

Erza asked for Chelinina's opinion.

"It doesn't matter." Chelinina shook her head, "As long as Your Majesty thinks it's appropriate."

After hearing what Chelinina said, Elsa waved to the maid, and the maid came over immediately.
