Release that Witch - Chapter 11
[Chapter 11 3 Princess]
“The sea breeze is getting colder,” Garcia Wimbledon said with a little regret as he stroked his hair disheveled by the wind, looking at the endless ocean.
“Because winter is coming soon,” replied a handsome man behind her. “Although this place belongs to the south, it is not the extreme south after all. Only sand people don’t understand what winter is.”
“Our fleet can’t leave the port in winter, and the ocean currents will make it difficult for them to move. So this time should be the last sailing.” The woman turned her head, “Farien, how long has Black Sail been out?”
“Two months and four days,” the man said without hesitation, “if there are no accidents, they will arrive at Clear Water Port in three days.”
Garcia laughed, “I hope they can bring me enough surprises.”
Farien Cobain looked at the flamboyant woman in front of him, feeling deeply moved.
Her long gray hair reflected silver light in the autumn sun; her eyes were light green with narrow and long corners, and she felt an indescribable sense of oppression when staring at people.
After staying by the sea for a long time, her skin was a little rough, not as fair as other women in the royal family, but Farien didn’t care at all.
In his eyes, Garcia’s temperament is enough to overshadow any beauty.
Unlike the idiots in Greycastle who were bred with inbreeding relatives, the third princess of Wimbledon was a true genius.
She has the wisdom and pride of a nobleman, but she does not abide by the rules like a nobleman. In this regard, she is even a bit like a commoner—full of expectations for breaking the ordinary, and full of adventurous spirit.
Of course, no commoner would have the height and vision like her, and even dukes and princes seemed short-sighted and short-sighted in front of her.
Being able to invest all the trade income of Clearwater Port on the construction of the fleet without leaving a single coin in their own treasury, this alone is far beyond the reach of those misers.
“There is no point in hiding these golden dragons in the cabinet. They are like stones when they are not in use. Only when you spend them can they reflect their own value. The key point is that spending them does not mean losing them. As long as you use them properly, you The rewards will be far greater than itself.”—Farien still deeply remembers the words she said to herself, almost breaking through the inherent concepts in his mind that have been formed for a long time.
Compared with those royal nobles who counted how much their savings had increased all day long, Farien felt that this was the demeanor of a ruler.
So he threw himself into Garcia’s command without hesitation, and followed her to Port of Clear Water.
After arriving here, Faruen realized that the third princess of hers was far more than that—she had not only ideas, but also actions.
She formulated the Black Sail Plan around this core, and carried it out step by step in an orderly manner.
As early as five years ago, the forces cultivated by Garcia had already infiltrated into Clearwater Port, preparing to form the Black Sail Fleet—and at that time, Wimbledon III had not yet proposed the kingship order.
In other words, she was already ahead of all the heirs.
“Go back to the house, the wind is getting stronger and stronger,” Garcia said with her head tilted.
Her palace is located at the southernmost tip of Clearwater Harbour, above Salmon Harbour.
This tower-like building is like a watchman stationed on the coast. The top of the tower is a circular terrace with a wide view, and you can have a bird’s-eye view of the entire harbor and the merchant ships passing here.
Now, after five years of operation, the trade in Clearwater Port has begun to take shape, and a three-masted sailing ship will be launched every six months in the dock, and he has also gained the initial trust of the other party.
Taking advantage of the fact that the third princess seemed to be in a good mood, Faruien hesitantly asked the biggest doubt in his heart in the past few months.
“Your Highness, I don’t understand something,” he said as he closed the door to block the howling sea breeze from the outside.
“You say,” she nodded with a smile.
“Why were you able to predict all this before the king issued the order to fight for the king?” He also wondered if Wimbledon III told her in advance, but after careful consideration, he knew that it was absolutely impossible.
Everyone knows that the second prince is the heir most valued by the king, and the order to fight for the king was made just for him. This can be seen from the second prince’s fief, Jinsui City.
Can you guess all this on your own and start planning five years ago?
By gods, she was only eighteen years old!
“Prediction?” She showed a funny look, “Did you take me for a witch? I don’t have the ability to play tricks.”
“Uh, but…”
“I didn’t know that my father would come up with the bad idea of fighting for the king to pave the way for his precious second son. In fact, what does it have to do with what I do?”
It doesn’t matter?
Faruen suddenly seemed to realize something, and opened his mouth in surprise.
Seeing the unbelievable expression on Farian Cobain’s face, Garcia smiled, “Do I have to wait for my father to say that I can fight for the throne before I am qualified to fight for it? For the same reason, to govern the city well Will the best one be able to sit on the throne of Graycastle? I thought you would understand when you saw the Black Sail Project.”
So that was the case, murmured Farian, her fleet was not formed purely for property.
This fleet belonging to the Three Princesses will put on black sails far away from the port after finishing the trade, and rob the merchant ships of other cities or countries.
Similarly, the Third Princess encourages her subjects to go out to sea and participate in the Black Sail Project.
She promises that any looted property will belong to the owner of the ship, and that Port Clearwater will never collect taxes on this profit.
This move brought her a huge fortune, so this time she simply ordered the Black Sail fleet to go straight south to plunder any ships that passed the Endless Cape, as well as the sand people in the south.
And these moves are not just for money.
Garcia didn’t use the plundered wealth to build cities or expand overland trade, she just put it back into the shipyard and continued to build more large ships.
In the past few years, she has gained a large number of experienced sailors, fierce fighters, and popular support – if she cannot continue to govern, the villains who participated in the plunder will all be sent to the gallows.
“The one who manages the city best will definitely be able to sit on the throne of Greycastle?” No, Farien knows now that the one who can sit on the throne has many ships and soldiers, and can travel along the Sanwan River. Up, directly to Garcia Wimbledon under Jinsui City.
“Then do you know that you will be assigned to Port of Clear Water?”
“This is an accident, it’s just an addition to a deal,” Garcia shrugged, “I thought the church was fooling me…”
Something to do with the church?
Seeing that the other party didn’t continue, Faruen didn’t dare to ask.
But he knew that UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Even if Garcia didn’t come to Clear Water Port, this place would follow her will and continue walking in the direction she wanted.
“Put these aside for now,” she poured herself a cup of black tea, “The previous trick seems to have failed.”
“Ah, yes,” Farien quickly withdrew his thoughts, and replied, “There is only news from Border Town, reporting that the pill has failed. There is no news from other places.”
“If there is no news, it should be killed by the brothers, as expected. It was originally a chess piece that was arranged randomly, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. It is just used to kill the waiting time. But…” She changed the subject, “The other chess pieces failed. It’s normal, but I didn’t expect that even my fourth brother would be safe and sound. To be honest, I’m a little disappointed.”
“Kingfisher said in the secret letter that the pill was indeed taken, but…”
“Failure is failure, I don’t want to hear an explanation,” Garcia interrupted, “It will be the Moon of Demons in a while, our lovely prince will go to Changsong Fortress to take refuge, right? When the evil beasts invade, the fortress may be in chaos It’s been a while. You write to her and let her seize the opportunity. I want to see if the goddess of luck will be on the side of the fourth brother this time?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Go down,” Garcia waved, and just as Farien was about to leave, the third princess stopped him again, “ah, that’s right. I remember I bought that pill from the alchemist Embiser, right?” ?”
Farien nodded.
“What did he say at the time? It is colorless, odorless, melts like water, ingests death, is incurable, or his latest alchemy achievement?” Garcia yawned, “Let’s hang him.”
