174 Amber’s Talen (2/2)
Don asked
”Because King Don,you're going to compete with Royal dine, they were doing this business for decades, so you should have something they don't”
She paused for a moment and went on
”As you may or may not know, Royal dine branches have no accommodation for customers who travel from a distant land, the nobles might go to high-end taverns and more rich people prefer renting a manor”
The commoners were rarely able to afford the prices of Royal dine so Amber did not include them.
”You can set up the restaurant on the ground floor, then on the first floor, rooms for customers who wish to stay the night, you can charge them however you want, it's not my area of expertise ”
Don felt a little simple-minded realizing that he didnt think of this idea
”What's on the third floor?”
Arrora asked with a curious look
”For people who prefer renting a manor, you can set up more lavish rooms than the rooms on the first floor”
Don nodded and appreciated Amber's idea in his mind
”It's just a rushed plan, if I had more time, I can plan the exterior of the building, lawn, fountains and things like that attract people”
King Edward wanted to get her into Don's circle as Princess Amber had her own plans. She wanted to provide for herself rather than being a typical princess in the castle spending the royal treasury. When her father said about Don's plan, she wanted to use her talents to be more than a princess, she desired to be a designer, and Don's businesses were a good place to start her journey as one.
Looking at the impressed faces of the people in the hall, Princess Amber had faith that she would get the role. Don on the other hand knew that there are no free lunches in this world and guessed their intentions. And after seeing a glimpse of her talent, he wanted to see what she could really do.
”Alright, Princess Amber, how'd you like to show us what more you can do? of course, I won't use your skills for free”
Don said and turned to talk to King Edward but he Princess Amber quickly said
”Fifteen percent of the profits”
Everyone was shocked to see her transform from a naive charming princess to a professional. But Don wasn't surprised as he always guessed that there's another person hiding beneath the naive charming princess face and he liked this version of her more than the first.
”Five”
”Ten percent and I'll do the interior plus exterior designing for all your businesses”
”Deal”
Don held out his hand as Princess Amber shook it with a smile and closed the deal.
”King Edward, I hope you're not offended by this deal”
Don said as King Edward shook his head with a smile
”On the contrary, I'm happy for my daughter, King Don, she always wanted to be more independent and explore the world outside of Sigalla”
King Edward patted Amber on the back and continued
”This will give her the chance to do just that, plus, I'd be at peace knowing that she's under the care of you, King Don”
As long as Amber works for him without any funny ideas like becoming the queen, he would treat her and King Edward with respect and treat them as allies.
”What about the tea houses?”
Arrora suddenly asked as tea houses meant more for her than the restaurants
Amber pointed at the drawing beside the plans for the restaurants
”Father said you're targeting the commoners as your customer base rather than nobles, am I right?”
”Yes”
”I have a better idea, why don't you serve it in the restaurants too?”
”Rich people often avoid the things that commoners use, in our case drink ”
Don understood if the nobles knew that tea is served for the commoners in another place, they wouldn't drink it at the restaurants thinking that drinking a drink favored by the commoners is a shame.
”Then you simply need to change its name and recipe, for example, add more flavors and sell it at the restaurant”
When she mentioned the flavors, Arwen suddenly remembered that Amaryll gave him the tea with a touch of cinnamon because he always liked the smell of cinnamon.
”Adding flavor, I don't know about that”
Don showed a little skepticism when he heard Arwen's voice
”It might work, your majesty, not long ago, Amaryll gave me the tea with a touch of cinnamon and it was quite good”
Princess Amber grinned
”See, King Don, add more flavors, change the name, sell it at the restaurant, sell the original recipe at the tea houses”
”It's a good idea, King Don”
King Edward said as everyone waited for his response.
”I think I might have a better idea”
