174 Amber’s Talen (1/2)

”Speaking of construction works, here's the agreement for the dam, King Don”

King Edward gave the agreement scroll to Don.

Opening the scroll, he quickly read the contents on the scroll and nodded.

”I don't have a king's seal yet, but I'll sign with this”

Don held out his hand as Arrora stepped forward and made a small cut in his hand with her dagger.

Don put a drop of his blood where he needed to put his king's seal and wrote his name using the brush that Ken used to draw. The cut instantly healed and surprised King Edward.

After signing the scroll, Don introduced the ones standing behind him

”King Edward, meet Ken Ragnail, he's one of the heads of engineering in Everlight and will oversee the dam construction”

”King Edward, it's a pleasure to meet you”

”Likewise, Lord Ken”

They shook hands

”And this is Joel Berkfloth, head of intelligence”

Joel was excited to hear his title as he stepped forward and bowed slightly

”It's an honor to meet you again, King Edward, Princess Amber”

Knight already said that they don't need to address the other royalties using the usual honorifics as it would make their king look weak. Joel didn't understand Knight's logic but he had to follow him, besides King Edward didn't know that he's not a noble but a commoner.

”Yes, I remember seeing you in the gathering, Lord Joel”

King Edward knew that intelligence head means he's Don's spy as he shook Joel's hand

”This is Stodemar, he's the commander of the infantry and a skilled builder”

Don didn't tell Stodemar's last name since it would reveal his identity as a dwarf. Stodemar stepped forward and removed his black helmet and revealed his human-like face as Princess Amber doubted how'd he be an effective fighter when he's a little shorter than an average human.

”Honor to meet yeh...you”

Arrora giggled inside when she heard Stodemar's trying to hide his thick dwarven accent as he quickly shook Edward's hand and stepped back.

”you have met these two already, Arwen, commander of the long-ranged unit, Adria, my personal guard plus personal assistant”

King Edward shook their hands and smiled as Princess Amber noticed the ugly drawings on the table.

”King Don, if you don't mind me asking? what is that?”

Ken let out an embarrassed smile as everyone had a good chuckle

”Let me show you, come on”

King Edward and Princess Amber followed Don to the table

”This is the blueprints for the restaurants and tea houses”

King Edward brought Amber with him to get her a role in DOn's business empire. He realized that he didn't even have a single business up and running but he had faith in him, plus maintaining a close relationship with a grandmaster who could reach heavenly realm is nothing but a great strategy.

Until now Amber was painting and designing each room's interiors in the castle but it was time to put her talents to achieve something big.

”King Don, if you don't mind”

Princess Amber inspected the plans and took the brush in her hand

”Be my guest”

He wanted to see what she's planning to do as she nodded and flipped the blueprint to the blank side.

Everyone stared at Amber including Don with wonder as she started to draw without even using drawing instruments like caliper or divider that Ken used.

While she was drawing, Stodemar elbowed Ken and he chuckled signifying his previous ugly drawings. Unlike the paintings she showed him before, he could understand what she was drawing right now.

”And finished”

She put down the brush and surprised everyone with her version of the blueprint for the restaurants and tea houses.

”What do you think? King Don”

King Edward asked him with a proud smile

”Can you explain the plans? Princess Amber”

Don asked as everyone stepped closer to the table as she looked at Ken

”Don't mind me, Princess, we can only gain new knowledge and educate ourselves by being open-minded to learn from anyone ”

Princess Amber was pleased to see that he didn't get offended by her taking over his plans or altering them because most men wouldn't like it when they were being corrected by women, especially young ones.

She nodded with a smile and started to explain her plans

”Unlike the one big floor plan, I propose a three-floor plan for the restaurants”

”Three? Why?”
