"Father, I don't understand," Oba expressed his doubts, "This has nothing to do with that girl. How does killing an unrelated person have anything to do with our New Chamber of Commerce?"
"Son, let me ask you a question," Alande said, "How many obstacles do our new chamber of commerce still face in Coral?"
"Korol is almost under the control of the New Chamber of Commerce. The only hidden danger... should be the Cavendish family. They have a special status and a certain say, so it is difficult to deal with them directly."
"Yes, our new Chamber of Commerce has always wanted to cooperate with the Cavendish family. However, they have always had a negative attitude, but they have not shown much hostility towards the new Chamber of Commerce. We also don't take them seriously and carry out our own business. But in the end, the Cavendish family is not a member of our new Chamber of Commerce. If they want to obstruct us one day, will it become a problem?"
"Of course!"
"Even if we wanted to get rid of the Cavendish family, we have never been able to find a decisive excuse. After all, they have been recognized by the Dragon Clan Royal Family. Normally, there is really no way to punish them. However, they started to do stupid things and even handed the knife to us."
"What stupid thing?"
"Son, you need to think more deeply and use your brain more," Alande tapped his temple, "How many silver-haired dragons are there in our Dragon Kingdom?"
"The silver-haired dragon... could it be?!"
Obama was very surprised.
"Father, do you mean to say that the girl is from the Silver Dragon Clan? The Silver Dragon Queen?"
"The Silver Dragon Queen will not leave the North."
"So you mean, this is the daughter of the Silver Dragon Queen, the Silver Dragon Princess?"
Alande sighed, "I've already told you to use your brain to think. Do you think this is possible?"
"This... I'm not sure. We are too far away from the Dragon Palace and don't know much about the Dragon Royal Family."
In the area of Koror, the dragons here may not be able to see the Silver Dragon Queen in their lifetime, and they don't know much about her.
Therefore, the emperor is far away.
On the contrary, the people here have indeed seen the hero Frey.
"Do you remember something that happened several decades ago? A member of the Dragon Clan royal family appeared."
"Oh! I remember it now," Oba hammered his hand, "At that time, a silver-haired dragon appeared, claiming to be a member of the dragon royal family. He was active on the southern border, shocking many cities. But there was no news afterwards?"
"In fact, there was a follow-up, but it was concealed for special reasons. The man actually pretended to be a member of the dragon royal family. He used alchemical potions to temporarily change his appearance, disguised himself as a person with silver hair and silver eyes, and swindled people everywhere. He got a lot of money from the nobles, and ran away after being exposed," Alande said slowly. "That guy's methods were very clever, and he has not been caught yet. The nobles suppressed the news of this incident for the sake of face. Although it did not happen in Koror, I used some channels to get this information."
"Father, are you saying... that girl is the former royal pretender?"
"It may not be the same person, but that's not important. What's important is the behavior of the Cavendish family," Alande smiled. "They deliberately had someone impersonate the royal family of the Dragon Clan and come to Koror. Isn't it just to scare people?"
Oba frowned, "Father, is it possible that the girl is really a member of the Dragon Clan royal family?"
"That's impossible. When a member of the Dragon Clan Royal Family comes to Koror, they must make a big show. How could they be so low-key? Moreover, they would mingle with the heir of the Cavendish family in private. Why? Their family has long lost the trust of the Dragon Clan Royal Family."
Arend couldn't help laughing.
"It's true that their ancestors were recognized by the Dragon Clan Royal Family, but that was not the Silver Dragon Queen, but the Dragon King from an earlier time. They have no friendship with the Silver Dragon Queen. The most important thing is that the head of the Cavendish family was once expelled from the imperial capital. He made a mistake and angered the Silver Dragon Queen. It was lucky that the Dragon Clan Royal Family didn't kill him, but they let their daughter come here on purpose? Do you really think that the heir of the Cavendish family is something that the Silver Dragon Princess would look down on?"
Oba suddenly realized, "The Cavendish family is taking advantage of the fact that we, the new nobles, have never seen the Silver Dragon Queen. They deliberately have someone pretend to be the Silver Dragon Princess to emphasize their status as a traditional noble and gain the right to speak! Today is a deliberate demonstration, and when the time is right, they will let the imposter appear."
"Yes, I don't know whose bad advice the Cavendish family head got to do such a stupid thing. But it's normal. After all, Lucius is just a waste who only knows how to have fun. He has no ability at all."
"I understand, father, so this is what you mean, haha!"
Oba laughed.
"To impersonate a member of the Dragon Clan royal family is a capital crime! We can use that girl to kill her directly, and then hold the Cavendish family accountable. We can kill her first and report to the north later. If they want to investigate, it will be too late. In this way, the entire Koror will be our new chamber of commerce!"
"Yes, that's right, Oba, you are still sober. Think more about it in the future. It will be good for you."
The head of the Erwin family narrowed his eyes, picked up a knife, inserted it into the orange, and squeezed out the orange juice.
"For the future of the new chamber of commerce, she must die."
……
The night passed.
Last night, after a secret discussion, Xia Yi accepted Lucius's warm hospitality.
The Cavendish family's banquet gave her a new experience. She enjoyed many southern delicacies. After eating and drinking, she had a good sleep.
"Good morning, Your Highness." Sera entered Xia Yi's room.
"Good morning… Sierra?"
"what happened?"
"Nothing, why do you have to take care of me even in your home?"
"Maybe this is just a habit, Princess. I'm not sure if I can leave it to someone else. I can't let you sleep with such a cute face... Well, it's nothing, don't worry about it."
Sera smiled the perfect maid's smile.
This statement left Xia Yi a little confused.
……
Xia Yi changed into a new set of clothes, washed up, and went to the restaurant with Sera.
The little princess couldn't help but start to look forward to what breakfast in the south would be like.
Lucius also got up early, waited in the restaurant reading the newspaper, and asked the servants to prepare breakfast for Ellie, showing his hospitality.
But before Xia Yi could say good morning, the head of the Cavendish family put down the newspaper and his expression changed slightly.
"Your Highness, Koror's situation has changed..."
96 Apply to join the gang (4k)
Xia Yi's heart tightened.
The emerging nobles are taking action so quickly?
Could it be that the other party has already guessed her identity as the Silver Dragon Princess and started taking action.
So she decided to listen to the bad news from Lucius and then make plans.
"If you have any bad news, just tell me, Lucius."
Lucius looked solemn and frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Highness, the Grand Theater in Koror will be closed for rectification."
"……what?"
Xia Yi couldn’t understand it for a moment. So what?
She had seen the Grand Theater in Koror before when she accompanied Sera to the Ascend Casino. There were many stars there, and the traffic was very high. Both the nobles and the common people talked about it with great relish...
But why did Lucius look so miserable?
Could it be that there is actually a special organization behind the Grand Theater in Koror, with a very special role, which is closely related to the plan to eradicate the emerging nobles!
“Will something terrible happen if the big theater in Koror closes?”
"Yes," Lucius nodded seriously, "Your Highness, if the business is closed, then I will not be able to get along with the rising star actress in the name of inspecting work, even though I met her some time ago under the pretext of investing in a new movie."
"..."
"This is terrible. With the Coral Theatre closed, I can only contact her privately. This will be discovered by reporters and even make the headlines in newspapers, causing a huge impact on the Cavendish family's reputation!"
Lucius was so angry that his teeth itched.
"The closure of the Coral Theater was ordered by the New Chamber of Commerce. I think they are clearly targeting me! It must be the Erwin family who is interfering and starting revenge!"
Xia Yi was really speechless. She covered her face, feeling very helpless.
So this is the news...
This is a statement quite in Lucius' style.
Sera on the other side seemed to be trying her best to control her impulse and not to do anything shocking.
Lian Xia Yi sighed in her heart that it was really hard for Sera to stay in this family.
"Have the people in Koror known about what happened yesterday at the Ascend Casino?"
Xia Yi quickly skipped the topic of the Coral Theater to prevent Lucius from continuing and causing a drama of a loving father and a filial daughter to unfold.
"Your Highness, please read it yourself. It's all written here." Lucius handed over the newspaper.
Xia Yi started flipping through the newspaper. It was the Koror Daily Morning Post, which generally recorded what was happening in the city. She quickly flipped through it and found that the matter about the Denggao Casino was only recorded in a small corner, with only a few short sentences mentioning it.
It was probably that a criminal had appeared in the Denggao Casino and had been subdued by the security team. He was a member of the Cangqing Gang and had been thrown into prison. He would be tried on a later date, and the citizens were told not to panic.
"This...there is really no mention of anything about Sera and the Cavendish family. Instead, they shifted the blame onto the members of the Cangqing Gang and concealed the real situation." Xia Yi said.
"Your Highness, don't be surprised. The news media has been controlled by the New Chamber of Commerce. They have been using the news media to fool people," Lucius explained. "Any news that is unfavorable to the emerging nobles will not be accurately and truthfully published. Apart from gossip and scandals, it is basically unreliable... No, if it involves the New Chamber of Commerce, even these will not be spared."
"So the people of Koror have been kept in the dark?"
"Yes, they even thought that the amendment to Koror's laws was approved by the Dragon Royal Family, and that the Dragon Royal Family was very satisfied with Koror's situation. They were all misled."
"So that's how it is. Even the channels through which civilians obtain information are firmly controlled..." Xia Yi pinched her chin and fell into deep thought.
"Have breakfast, Princess."
Sera pulled out a chair and invited Xia Yi to sit down.
Xia Yi sat down.
Because they had some important things to discuss, Lucius asked the Cavendish family's servants to leave early, and now there were only three people in the restaurant.
While tasting the breakfast, Xia Yi felt it was somewhat novel, as these were things she had never eaten in the north.
"How does it taste, Princess?" Lucius asked.
"Well, it's very novel. I haven't had this kind of breakfast in the north. I feel that the taste is different from the chef's last night..." Xia Yi gave a positive evaluation.
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess. Actually, I did this."
"Hey, Lucius, you actually cooked this yourself?"
"Of course! After all, it is Her Royal Highness the Princess who is visiting the Cavendish family in person, so we must let Her Royal Highness experience the authentic southern breakfast!"
"Lucius's cooking skills are so good that he can be considered a professional chef."
"If you don't have any cooking skills, you can't win the recognition of the opposite sex just by relying on money and status. A man who can cook will definitely be more popular," Lucius said confidently. "Your Highness, do you know? Sera actually learned from me how to make breakfast."
"Hey, Sera, is that so?" Xia Yi looked at Sera beside her.
