Before he was crowned king II

Wearing a black military coat, Tisifeng has fully restored to the "Queen of War" familiar to the soldiers of the military department.

She stepped on high-heeled leather boots and walked forward. At the end of the corridor, a door inlaid with gold was half closed. Executive Webb, who was rubbing his hands anxiously, opened his mouth at her, as if implying that behind this door What a terrible poisonous snake and beast is hidden.

The spacious living room was full of people. Except for the private mercenaries standing around with guns on their backs, there was only one vacant main seat among the twelve leather chairs. Middle-aged nobleman.

With thick stomachs, they stood up unevenly and bowed their heads to Princess Tisifeng. The golden armbands on their arms were engraved with a sailboat-shaped totem, which was the emblem of the Coleridge Chamber of Commerce.

The word "Coleridge" means "sincere" or "extroverted", and it refers to a business group among nobles in the Sanvia Empire.

In the past, the most famous person in this chamber of commerce was probably Queen Carina's younger brother, Grand Duke Henry, but now their leader is the Earl named Muriel.

"His Royal Highness Princess Tisifeng, thank you very much for allowing me to meet you in spite of your busy schedule."

The man with white curly hair was full of smiles, his back was hunched, and he was leaning on a dark red gentleman's cane, "I heard that after you returned to the capital, we have been waiting for a suitable opportunity to solemnly invite you to visit us Chamber of Commerce."

"Since the invitation is from the largest chamber of commerce in the empire, no matter how busy it is, I should take the time to listen to your thoughts."

Tisifeng walked to the chair and sat down, his eyes swept across the wrinkled faces, "It's just that your invitation is too solemn,? Just now I thought I went to the interrogation room of the military headquarters by mistake. gone."

"Your Highness Tisiphon, you are so humorous." Earl Muriel clapped his hands and laughed, "Please don't mind these insignificant people. You know that people in the capital are panicking recently. We have to do something for our own sake." All safety considerations."

"People are panicking?" Tisifeng slightly raised his eyebrows, "Count Muriel, as we all know, the city of San Via is the safest place in the world."

"Indeed..." Earl Muriel nodded, "The capital city is the heart of the empire, the center of blood supply, no matter how the land outside is full of wars, this place will always be the most stable ivory tower.

This is also an important reason why members of our chamber of commerce are willing to leave their respective inherited territories and travel thousands of miles to live within the gray walls. "

Earl Muriel sighed, "We regard the capital city as our first home and hope to live here forever, so the Coleridge Chamber of Commerce has never refused to pay any national taxes since its establishment. Our business is in Here it is."

"Her Majesty the Queen will be very pleased to hear your remarks." Tisifeng leaned back on the leather chair, "However, let's get back to business, you might as well talk about the purpose of meeting today so that we won't delay each other time."

"Actually, it's mainly about the latest tax law of the empire." Earl Muriel laughed a few times, "We understand the debt situation of the empire and are willing to support it. It's just that the part about land tax has always been enjoyed by nobles and clergy. Privileged, and at the time of Salfid III, we even had a tax system in vogue..."

"The tax package system has been abolished by Queen Karina's order." Tisifeng interrupted directly.

"I know..." Earl Muriel paused, "I just want to express that we have made concessions more than once."

"So, do you think there is a problem with the taxation clauses in the new tax law regarding noble territories?"

"Yes, we don't think it makes sense to levy a land tax on the nobility."

"Is it reasonable to steal money from the pockets of the common people of the empire to support you?" Tisifeng asked indifferently.

The nobles present looked at each other, their expressions becoming unnatural.They are very wary of this imperial princess who has been fighting abroad all year round, and they know that they cannot deal with it by ordinary means.

"Spear of the Empire", "Queen of the Battlefield", the supreme commander of the military department... The woman in front of her is a completely different species from the beautiful canary raised in their mansion. She is a bird of prey with a sharp beak and can kill her prey with one blow , quickly dismembered.

The biggest beneficiary of this "new tax law" reform is undoubtedly the military, and all of them are well aware of this.

As the highest command of the military department, their conversation with His Highness Tisifeng this time must be tit-for-tat, and the atmosphere is tense.

The nobles couldn't help looking at Earl Muriel. They were not lambs to be slaughtered. As the largest taxpaying guild in the empire, the Coleridge Chamber of Commerce still had a certain say in the capital.

"Your Highness Tisifeng, I'm afraid your words are biased. We pay a lot of taxes in the name of the chamber of commerce every year." A nobleman said.

"I don't deny your contributions, but I just hope that you can understand. Now the empire spends a lot on military affairs, and there are also a lot of borrowings on the border with the East."

"What we have done is not in vain, but in the end, it is for you to enjoy true and permanent peace," Tisiphon said.

"Can we see peace if we collect more money?" Some people questioned, "Just a few days after the new tax law was promulgated, several warehouses in our capital were involved in the war for no reason, and the losses were very heavy."

"The fire in the warehouse...it was really a mistake by the sheriffs," Tisiphon said. "I'm sorry for that."

"Then what should we do about the losses? We lost tens of thousands of gold coins just for the good silk! Not to mention precious things like medicinal materials, tea, and porcelain!"

"It's a serious loss. But I heard that someone sent the magician of the army to put out the fire in time that night..."

"Although Earl Muriel and I borrowed people from the military department that night, the goods in the warehouse have already—"

"Stop it, Martin." Earl Muriel's face suddenly turned pale, and he stopped the nobleman who was speaking.

"Martin... May I ask your identity?"

"Martin Sidney, a hereditary knight of the empire." The nobleman's eyes drifted a little.

"Oh, Knight Martin, it turned out that you and Earl Muriel were the ones who secretly transferred the army magician that night." Tisifeng stood up slowly with his hands on the table.

"No, this matter is actually..."

"I really want to know who gave you the power to change the order of the supreme commander and send soldiers who are ready to fight at will during the battle?"

While speaking, Tisifeng slowly drew out the saber from his waist, "I admire your courage, this is an unforgivable capital crime."

"Your Highness Tisifeng, please calm down, the situation is really urgent..." With a bang, Knight Mark let out a trembling scream.The sharp blade pierced his sleeve and pierced half an inch into the table.

"The nobles of Sanvia do enjoy a lot of privileges, such as getting something for nothing, monopolizing mining, special pardons and so on."

Tisiphon’s voice was clearly heard by everyone in the room, “But you should remember who gave you this gift. It is the supreme royal family, the glorious Queen Karina, if anyone wants to override the so-called privilege If you want more than the two, then you have to be conscious of being deprived of everything.”

Everyone was stunned, and the atmosphere eased a little until Executive Webb coughed a few times outside the door.

Tisifeng pulled out his sword calmly: "I have fully understood your opinions. The new tax law is the will of the empire, and no one is allowed to bargain.

But I can swear on my last name, what happened that night will never happen again.

Before the start of the war, I will arrange everything, and I can guarantee that the capital will always be a paradise for you to make money.Count Muriel. "

"Please tell me, Your Highness." Earl Muriel's hunchbacked body trembled.

"Give the list of the losses in the warehouse that night to Executive Webb, and I will personally make up for the cost for the Coleridge Chamber of Commerce."

Tisifeng put the saber back into its sheath, ignored all the eyes in the room and turned to leave.

"Roy, has that person been found?"

"Yes, sir, on the way," said Baron Roy. "Would you like to see him?"

"No, before that, I have to meet an old friend. Tell Princess Ornis that I may not be able to accompany her at night, and send someone to send her back to the palace."

Princess Tisifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, her time was not as relaxed as imagined.

St. Via Palace, the second prince's bedroom, the exquisite dinner was brought to the table one by one by the servants, Mars closed his eyes tiredly, and sighed softly.

"It's finally finished." Mars whispered. "It's hard to imagine how Fern did it before. While dealing with so many things, he still has time to watch the horse race."

"I think there were many people who were willing to share the worries for His Royal Highness Fern." Sheen said, "In fact, you should also let other people help you deal with these things. If you are doing it all by yourself, it would be too hard .”

"I understand what you mean, but I'm not always relieved." Mars' voice could not hide his tiredness.

"You can assign things to people you trust..." Sean paused, "such as President Lambert."

"I have already arranged some affairs for him." Mars picked up the aperitif and shook it, "but more things are beyond his ability to handle."

"Thinking too much is a sad thing," Sheehan said.

"Indeed, I remember that you are very good at playing chess and cards. I think we should all belong to the type who likes to think a lot before acting."

Mars suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Sometimes, I'm quite envious of your friend."

"What do you mean?"

"Eryx..." Mars shrugged, "He seems to do things based on his inner preferences, and he doesn't go into the interests behind it."

"He's just an ordinary idiot." Sean lowered his head and cut the steak on the plate.

"He is not an idiot, an idiot is not eligible to participate in the rating of "Senior Magician".Maybe after tomorrow, he will be promoted to be the youngest senior magician in the empire. Mars looked up and said, "Are you going to see it tomorrow?" "

"I have not been invited."

"It just so happens that, as the youngest "senior magician" in the empire, I have received an invitation to evaluate. Mars smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look together tomorrow." "
