Volume 2 Chapter 16 - Your highness queen (2/2)

“What is it? Young miss Seveni, seeing this scene in front of you, do you have more confidence in our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s agricultural magic machines?” Xu Yi asked with a smile.

“Un, it is indeed like this.” Seveni nodded with a faint smile, “But chairman Xu, I want to remind you that your Frestech Chamber of Commerce hasn’t finished our agricultural department’s high thirty thousand agricultural magic machine order yet. I hope that you can focus on our order first.”

Xu Yi looked back at Viscount Samuel and gave a shrug, “There is no way since our Frestech Chamber of Commerce is a Banta City company, so we can’t just ignore business in Banta City.”

“There is no problem doing business in Banta City, but it’s best if you don’t do business with other cities. This would also be very helpful to our agricultural department’s plan to promote the agricultural magic machines.” Seveni said, “Chairman Xu, I think that you should be very clear that if our agricultural department helps you promote the agricultural magic machines, it will be of great help to your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s development, so I hope that you can finish our agricultural department’s orders first. As for the other magic machines, can you stop producing them for now?”

Xu Yi knit his brows, “Young miss Seveni, your request is a bit overboard. Our agreement said that the order needed to be finished in two years and with our current efficiency, we can easily finish this order. You requesting us to finish the agricultural department’s order isn’t a problem, but for us to stop developing and producing magic machines, this really is forcing others into doing something they do not wish to do.”

Seveni thought about and turned to look at the farmland being harvested. After being in silence for a bit, she suddenly gave a soft sigh, “Alright chairman Xu, I admit I’m a bit anxious. Based on the current scene I was a bit excited. I was thinking that it would be great if every other place in the kingdom could be like this, so I gave you an excessive request, I’m quite sorry.”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “There’s no need to apologize. I understand your thoughts and your anxiety since as the ruler of the country, of course you want the country to become as strong as possible. Am I right, your highness queen?”

“Yes, I really hope that…..” Seveni was suddenly stunned. She turned to look at Xu Yi with bigger eyes and asked in surprise, “You…..When did you find out?”

“Not long ago.” Xu Yi replied, “Actually, I found it very strange as soon as I saw you. Why would a girl with such a noble aura be a normal official in the agricultural department? And you were this young. So when you came to Banta City, I found it even more surprising that a normal agricultural department official like you could contact the king and even act on the king’s behalf to negotiate with me. Of course, I just suspected that you didn’t have a simple identity, but I never thought that you would be our Lampuri Kingdom’s noble queen.”

Young miss Seveni, or rather queen Seveni was surprised for only a bit before she recovered. She said with a faint smile, “If my guesses aren’t wrong, it should be Viscount Leslie who told you? I clearly told him not to speak too much.”

“Honourable queen, this isn’t anything that needs to be hidden, right?” Xu Yi couldn’t help saying, “Although hiding your identity makes it a bit safer, it doesn’t really help for the work you’re currently doing. If I knew that you were the queen beforehand, it would have made our negotiations much more direct.”

“Direct? You’re talking about demanding for territory from me?” Seveni said without any politeness.

Xu Yi smiled, but didn’t say anything.

The so called queen was different from a normal princess.

The princess only meant she was the king’s daughter, but the queen meant that other than the identity, she also had the right to inherit the throne.

That’s right, as the Lampuri Kingdom’s king’s only daughter, queen Seveni had the same inheritance rights as her two brothers.

Because queen Seveni had been outstanding since she was young and she had high fame in the Lampuri Kingdom, many people even felt that she had more rights to inherit the throne than the other two princes.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she was a woman, the king would have already made her the only successor already.

Therefore compared to the princesses in other small kingdoms of the Sines Continent, queen Seveni had much more authority.

If Xu Yi knew that she was the queen, he would have directly asked her for territory.”

“You better give up on territory.” Seveni firmly said, “Other than special circumstances, the kingdom will definitely not confer any new territory and it is even more impossible for a normal merchant like you. Perhaps because of the contributions your Frestech Chamber of Commerce has made, royal father will consider making you a noble, but he definitely won’t give you territory.”

Xu Yi casually gave a shrug, “Noble queen, you’ve mistaken me. I actually don’t want territory, rather I just need some land to freely develop. Our Frestech Chamber of Commerce needs to develop and needs a large piece of land to build a factory. Since the king has already agreed to rent me a large piece of land, my request has already been satisfied and there’s no need for me to be granted land.”

Seveni looked at Xu Yi, “Chairman Xu, actually I’m very curious. What difference is there in land rented from the royal family and land rented from Viscount Leslie?”

“Of course there’s a difference, at least the royal family won’t take the land away if they suddenly become unhappy.” Xu Yi said.

Seveni narrowed her eyes before revealing a smile of profound meaning while saying, “Chairman Xu, you’ve obtained some news, right?”

Xu Yi revealed a bitter smile and looked at Viscount Leslie talking with Count Sean before saying with a sigh, “That’s right, there are some things that even Lord Viscount Leslie can’t control. I am just a small merchant, I am even more powerless.”

Seveni looked at the distant Viscount Leslie and thought about it before giving a sigh, “Viscount Leslie is a very good partner, but it’s a pity that he isn’t strong enough.”
