Chapter 548 I want you for myself
When this voice rang out, everyone suddenly turned to look in the direction that it came from.
The moment that they saw this person, they couldn't help being shocked.
That included me since I had no idea what this person was doing here.
Standing at the entrance of this room was a beautiful girl with blonde hair wearing a gorgeous dress.
This was a person that everyone recognized since she was famous in the kingdom.
Ever since her father sent her portrait to every part of the kingdom for her sixteenth birthday.
It was the princess, Angela.
She just ignored everyone that was staring at her and moved into the room.
As they watched her come in, they couldn't help standing up as if they were about to bow to her.
The princess just calmly waved her hand before saying to Rose, "This plan of yours, it really is something that I've never seen before. How did you come up with it?"
Rose shook her head before saying, "I can't take all the credit for coming up with it. If it wasn't for my husband giving me this idea, I wouldn't have been able to even begin coming up with this plan."
The princess' eyes seemed to twitch a bit when she heard this, but she still said with the same smile, "It seems like there are still quite a few unknown talented people in our kingdom."
After saying that, she walked over to Rose and said, "How about you come and work for me?"
When they heard this, all of the representatives couldn't help panicking.
While the princess was someone that they couldn't mess with, the fact of the matter was that the princess was now stealing this opportunity from them.
They had already been moved by Rose's proposal, but they had wanted to stall for more benefits.
Only when they realized that something was off and stopped did she finally say, "Hmm, but it seems like the princess' offer is more enticing. I wonder what I should do?"
All of them started to tremble when they heard this.
They looked at each other with worried looks before the first representative who had spoken before said, "Un, we're willing to donate a bit more to the granary."
Rose just put her finger on her chin and acted like she was thinking about it.
The representatives couldn't help gritting their teeth when they saw this.
They could tell that now, they were the ones that were being pressured. They were the ones that held the cards before, but now it was them that were being pressured by Rose.
After grinding their teeth over this situation for a bit, the representative then said, "We're willing to increase the fees for selling our goods across the kingdom."
The others gave slow nods of agreement, but the pained look on their faces made it clear that they weren't happy about this.
Rose just stood there in silence for a bit before turning to Viscountess Henry beside her.
Viscountess Henry took out a piece of paper that she took and placed on the table in front of these representatives without saying a word.
The smile on her face made it clear what this was.
They all crowded forward to see what the terms were, but the moment that they did...
"This is..."
All of them had shocked looks on their faces when they saw this, but their expressions also looked ugly.
The representative from before couldn't help asking, "Is this serious?"
Rose just looked at him and nodded with a smile on her face.
