Chapter 1030 (1/2)
Meng Lang frowned and now looked at Ariel, who had completely closed her eyes and no longer looked at anyone here. Obviously, the crown prince's mood is also very complex. On the one hand, he really values the girl's courage and vision. But on the other hand, I never thought that her bet was to change the ancestral law! This is not something you can easily promise.
At that moment, he shook his head very upset and said, ”I'm not free now. Let the teachers come back later.”
The soldiers outside the door answered. But after a while, the soldier's voice sounded again and said, ”Your Highness, the head of the Department said it doesn't matter to wait, but if you want to come in and wait, it's a little... Cold outside.”
When this sentence came into the door, it suddenly made the fierce waves laugh. He nodded and agreed to the request.
The door opened, Connor pulled his cloak slightly and walked in slowly.
Along the way, his eyes fell silently on the girl standing here, looking at the determination and disappointment on her face
Just seeing this expression, the teacher knows what step has been taken now. Without asking, he skipped Ariel's side, saluted the two princes in front, then saluted the Duke of golden fruit, was given a seat, sat on a soft leather bench and waited.
”Your Highness! I... I've recalculated! ”
The tax official quickly looked at the accounts in his hand and said loudly——
”Obviously, although the introduction of flower goblins is a merit, the tax exemption limit is only 1% at most. And that strange car is nothing interesting at all! Overall, the tax amount of mermaid song should be 14%! Should pay 250 gold 7 Silver 5 copper 2 iron taxes! In other words, after the mermaid song has experienced the past three years, its current capital should be 956 Gold 3 silver 9 copper 2 iron! This data will never be wrong again! ”
Although Ariel had long known such a result.
But when she heard the figure coming out of the tax official's mouth, she couldn't help shivering.
956 Kim... In other words, this figure has proved her failure... Right?
Slowly, Ariel opened her eyes again.
What came into sight was the relaxed smile of Duke Jinguo, the gloating expression of the tidal prince, and the crown prince's slightly relieved look.
So
Why did you lose?
Hehe, should this reason be changed into why you can't win and shouldn't win?
”Oh, what a pity. 956 gold, which is still dozens of gold coins away from a thousand gold. Although the agreement failed, Ariel, you still worked very hard. ”
Meng Lang's face wore a relaxed smile and comforted Ariel here.
In this regard, the only thing Ariel can do is to continue to hang that smile on her face, then lift her skirt and salute slowly to the big people on the scene again, showing her humility and elegance as a maid.
Duke Jinguo clapped his hands and said with a smile, ”Ariel, you have done really well in the past three years. Quan Dang showed us a very wonderful and interesting play. I believe your story will be changed into an opera in the future, and it will be very popular at that time. ”
”Opera? I like this very much. ”
The tide also said——
”And recently I'm considering writing a wonderful song and dance play for the opera company. I think the maid's story is really very good! Well, let me see... ”
The second prince patted his forehead with his fingers, thought for a moment, and immediately smiled——
”Yes! That's it! The daughter of a noble family, this beautiful young lady is full of dreams and has a very excellent spirit of adventure. She didn't want to obey the established marriage contract arranged by the family to marry the royal family, hoping to break out of the sky alone, so she secretly ran away from home one day, left a letter with a sum of money, and vowed to use three years to prove that she didn't just have to marry the prince! ”
”Later, the young lady established a small guild by relying on her sword skills she had learned since childhood and operated silently. But what she didn't expect was that the prince she was originally scheduled to marry was also a prodigal son who loved romance and adventure. ”
