Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Confounding the Nation, is this also within your calculations?
Olivia stammered, "What did you say?"
"Captain Jino thinks highly of His Highness Louis and praises Her Highness Beatrice for her unique insight..."
The little swan, previously feeling dizzy, suddenly became alert and sprang up from the spa bed.
"How is that possible, he’s the Hell Instructor!"
Lumi looked at Olivia, trying not to laugh, and said, "Your Highness, didn’t you say you saw the potential in His Highness Louis, which is why you brought in the best warrior instructor?"
"Ah~ this... I didn’t, OK-OK, you’re right, that’s exactly what I thought."
Realizing she was too agitated, Olivia painfully closed her eyes and tried to hypnotize herself.
"It’s fine, all the same, I intended to have him expose his true nature in the Tino City explosion case anyway."
"He just happened to gain some basic recognition from Captain Jino."
"There are quite a few in the personal guard who have gained recognition through perseverance like this."
So Olivia once again donned a calm and composed smile.
The advantage is mine!
"I actually guessed that guy would pass; Sister Wang is never vague when selecting people."
"No way she picked him just because, cough cough, that guy looks good."
"So passing the initial selection was expected, but as a prince, he has much more to learn."
"He still needs good grinding, even the newbies at the Imperial City Adventurer Guild have an average level of 3; at least get to level 3 to maintain the baseline!"
The head maid widened her eyes, was all of this in your plans, Your Highness!
"I was narrow-minded, I thought you just wanted to teach His Highness Louis a lesson because you didn’t like him."
The little swan coughed.
You see people accurately.
Yet she stood up, hands on hips, and said righteously:
"He needs a strict teacher, to endure harsher training, and with his current professional level, he might not even match an ordinary civilian."
Lumi looked a bit puzzled, with a subtle tone:
"The professional level isn’t a big issue, is it?"
"It is a big deal, the average professional level of new adventurers at the Imperial City Adventurer Guild is 3."
"Level 3 is easy for His Highness!"
"How is it easy? Just tell him to work hard and improve since he’s lacking."
Lumi reached out to touch Olivia’s head.
No fever, huh.
She looked even more puzzled.
"Has no one ever told you about His Highness Louis’s promotion speed?"
"Huh?"
Olivia seemed a bit bewildered.
Does someone need to tell her this?
At this time, Louis hadn’t started the ’Greedy Feast’ yet, how fast could his promotion speed be?
The head maid seemed to understand something, paused for a moment and then quietly reminded:
"When you started your therapy this morning, I mentioned that His Highness Louis had risen to level 2..."
Little swan: "Huh?"
Head maid: "Also, Lord Jino mentioned that the body forging method paired with the Nine Swords, the more standard his form, the faster his muscle group exercises, and it naturally boosts blood vitality.
He estimated the speed, as long as the recuperation follows, within a week, His Highness Louis could also be promoted to a level 3 warrior, and start formal attempts at learning the Nine Swords."
Little swan: "Huh?"
Olivia’s expression gradually became blank.
Is this the butterfly effect?
It shouldn’t be, in her past life memories, this never happened.
Her expression was a bit confused.
"Wait a minute, how did that rascal from the past life rise?"
She pondered for a moment.
In the past life, in the allure nation, it seemed he first practiced magic for a while and then found himself not well suited for it.
So he gave up switching to a demon swordsman, which focuses on magic as the main form and chose to become an arcane knight that uses magic as support.
Then, he unleashed his greed, under the blessing of the abyss ceremony [Greedy Feast], he began to splurge, sins spread, and his professional level started to increase explosively.
Wait, so that bastard grows so fast it wasn’t just because of the Greedy Feast, but because he was naturally talented?
Now she wanted him to expose his nature, but ended up developing his talent early?
So, did I ruin my own plan?
Allure nation! Was this also in your plans?
The little swan’s heart skipped a beat.
She said cautiously:
"So, for a warrior, this speed is considered quite fast?"
Lumi chuckled lightly, "I should say, it’s ridiculous. Your Highness, it’s only been three days since Louis started his job."
"Oh by the way, Captain Jino hopes we mention his talent to Louis sparingly."
"Once he truly matures, he’s supposed to bring a blow to those overly enthusiastic young lads in the group."
The head maid spoke these words full of joy.
With His Highness Louis’s talent, he would certainly meet Her Highness Olivia’s requirements for a brother-in-law soon.
Your Highness finally started thinking independently.
Lumi was feeling fulfilled about not disappointing the Princess Consort’s last wishes, full of joy.
The little swan, however, was not in the mood.
Who in the empire doesn’t know about Jino’s abilities?
Can’t say the strongest in the empire, but certainly a prominent force.
Getting such a strong commendation, how strong is this rascal’s talent in the field of a warrior!
No way, if I can’t suppress his combat power, then let’s see if I can suppress his intelligence!
Having him oversee the National Waste Disposal Plant can’t be delayed.
"Lumi, how’s the slime collection going?"
The head maid nodded, "It’s basically complete, 23,004 slimes, normal slimes average 50 copper coins each.
Among them, there are 104 special slimes, averaging 5 silver each.
Spread out, totaling 119 gold and 70 silver."
"How-how much?"
The little swan’s voice raised slightly, and the silk cloth covering her fell off.
"119 gold and 70 silver, less than I imagined by quite a bit."
Lumi chuckled, "I originally thought it would take 150 gold to settle this, now it’s much better than expected.
Seems like Your Highness thought it would be less than expected."
As she spoke, Lumi winked at Olivia.
Olivia only felt a bit hypoglycemic, her body swayed slightly.
This truly is... too much!
Two months’ pocket money gone!
In strict terms, Olivia’s monthly expenses are actually much more than this amount.
But those are necessary expenses for maintaining royal authority, which can be directly reimbursed.
In terms of cash she can use directly, Olivia doesn’t have that much gold coins.
To the point where she sat back on the spa bed, feeling her thighs a bit weak.
This is the first time she fully realized how prosperous her Tino City truly is.
Can anyone tell me, why are there 23,004 slimes, a creature that even blocks paths on the streets, still idly being captured and sold by merchants in the Imperial City?
Even noblewomen who like to comfort themselves with slimes aren’t this numerous!
Olivia only felt her heart bleeding, but she had to spend the money.
Because this could be the key to solving the disposal plant issues.
Sitting on the spa bed, like a salted fish that has lost its dreams, she looked dull and only trembled as she said a moment later:
"Reimburse! As long as the problem can be solved, go to Sister Wang for reimbursement then!"
As she spoke, a spark of determination ignited in her eyes.
Must meet with the allure nation soon and start work!
For the sake of my little money!
