Mistress Of Enchanting Dragon
The diamonds used on both ornaments were real and expensive and thus in order to get those ornaments, Gwen has exchanged the expensive necklace she was wearing on top of the silver ingots.
But she didn't mind that because in front of her big dreams losing this small necklace was nothing and when she will become the princess of the eldest prince she can just purchase whatever she wanted.
And thus she was extremely satisfied with the results.
Gwen smiled shyly and then looked at Donovan who was sitting on the side.
He has his head resting on his fist and his eyes hidden in the shadows of the mask were closed. His head tilted to the side.
He wasn't interested in what they did all these days. He was looking forward to only one special girl's turn.
So Gwen, who thought she was giving a smile to the eldest prince, was totally unaware that the man wasn't even looking in her direction. And didn't bother to take Interest in her existence.
Soon a few more ladies gave their replies and one or two things were common between them. One was that they all had brought gifts for the Queen and king, some even also purchased something for sweet Genevieve.
After it was known that the eldest prince had a soft heart for his sister.
So how can they let go of that chance?
And the second thing was that instead of giving their own true opinion they all just kept praising the king and kept talking about how great the northern kingdom was and how happy were people living in it.
Soon it was Olivia's turn. Unlike other ladies the woman didn't just praise the king and the land of dragons.
"While roaming around the cities I observed something which made me think," Olivia said.
"Since the Northcrest much-fertilised land most of the traders export the grain from other duchies of the north. And in return, we pay them the regular prices. And few of foreign traders also come here for the trade. But all of them have to pay the tax when they enter the capital. I think we should make some changes in the taxation system here," Olivia said.
"What type of changes did you suggest, lady Olivia?" Zivan asked with interest. After hearing the same lines over and over in different pretentious voices he finally found Olivia's opinion and suggestions interesting.
"I think the implementation of taxes during that check post will burden the traders and thus they add the same amount in the prices of goods they sell in the capital which results in increasing the price of goods," Olivia added.
"So what can be the solution my lady?" Zivan asked.
"One solution can be that instead of charging higher pay we should charge less or no tax," Olivia replied.
"And what about the royal treasury? You may know that the most income of the Royal treasury comes from the taxpayers," Zivan said.
"Instead of imposing a tax on the locals, we should focus on increasing the tax on the goods which we export. Such as to other lands," Olivia replied.
"We do export out fruits and herbs to neighbouring countries. We can increase the taxes there plus North also has significantly larger coastlines which means a larger range of ocean products, we can impose a higher tax on the export of marine products," Olivia added.
Zivan pursued her lips in a thin line.
After pondering for a moment he smiled.
"I admire your observation skills and will definitely look into the problem you pointed out," Zivan said.
"One more thing, the money that I received from the royal treasury was used for travelling and food. Some of it is still saved," she added.
"Alright my lady," Zivan said.
After that Olivia went back to her seat. On her way back she saw her brother smiling meaningfully at her which she returned with her own proud smile.
The next was a daughter from one of the duchy. Her name was Cecilia. A pale brunette with a good figure and height.
"Lady Cecilia," Zivan greeted the woman as she stood in the middle.
She smiled at him and then slowly bowed her head in front of the king and queen.
"Tell me about your experience of the last three days in Northcrest," Zivan asked her.
"This is the third time I have been here in the capital but unlike the other two times, I get a chance to see the city's new lights. Northcrest has not only a strong footing in the trade but also it has large marketing for small traders. I'm surely admiring the policies and rules implemented to keep everything going smoothly," she praised.
"Thank you, my lady, but do you think there is a chance or need of improvement in any area?" Zivan asked.
Hearing various questions asked by the second prince Silja rolled her eyes.
It was more like a survey than a competition to choose a wife for the prince.
"There is. During the time when I was passing by some communities, I realised that the structure of buildings wasn't proper. Due to irregularities in the structure and space, they were occupying more space than it is needed. If we try to rebuild them the more space can be utilised," the woman replied.
"Very good my lady," Zivan praised.
After some more follow up suggestions the woman took her seat again. Satisfied with her own performance.
Jade greeted everyone politely. Her face was void of any emotions as she stood in the middle.
When Zivan asked, she gave a fleeting glance towards the man she thought was her best friend.
Don looked at the woman standing in front of him and smiled at her.
Jade took a deep breath and then smiled a little.
She, unlike others, didn't waste her time on singing praises of the king or kingdom.
"My observation during these three days says that we really need to find solutions about the low-lying area. The people who live near the bank of the river are facing flood problems every year. I wish you could take precautions for those," Jade completed her point very quickly and took her seat again.
Even though she didn't say much she made her point clearly.
Zivan smiled thoughtfully and glanced at his brother, wiggling his eyebrows. Which Donovan ignored.
"Lady Silja from Atlanea, please grace us with your presence over here," Zivan looked at the red-haired woman sitting at the back corner.
Mischief danced in his eyes as he gestured to her to come forward.
Silja took a deep breath as she walked over and stood in the middle.
Her hazel eyes looked around and then she bowed at the king.
"I hope princess Silja enjoyed the last three days very well," Zivan said and silja mentally rolled her eyes. Was she here to enjoy. From the day she left Atlanea, she hasn't spent any night without worry.
How can she be in the mood to enjoy this situation?
"I did," Silja kept her answer short.
"And did you have any suggestion?" Zivan asked.
Silja pursed her lips for a moment before she opened her mouth to speak.
"No," again just one word.
Zivan who has prepared himself for an outburst from her furrowed his eyebrows.
Nothing?
How can that be?
He has a whole report of what she did during the whole three days and thus he has thought that she was going to say something about the slave market or something but what he heard was beyond his expectations.
What was going on?
"He gave his brother a fleeting glance and then looked at Silja again.
"Then may lady, how did you use the money you received?" Zivan asked another question.
"I used them in eating and shopping," Silja answered rather quickly. As if she has already remembered all the answers.
Zivan pursed his lips and on the other side, Don also furrowed his brows.
He had already guessed that there is something wrong with the human princess but he just realised now that she maybe was right about not being interested in marrying him.
But why? Wasn't she here to take part in the competition? Donovan thought about that and then glanced at his father.
Surely there was something more about the deal with Atlanea and his father was definitely hiding something.
Zivan on the other hand couldn't understand why the woman wasn't speaking the truth.
She has definitely not used any penny on herself from the first day to the third.
He does not have much of an impartation of this foreign princess at first but when he got the report of what she did on the second day his Interest piqued. So he paid more attention to her.
And as he had thought, the girl didn't disappoint him.
