Chapter 523 - 523 523 The Royal Family's Trade Team

523: Chapter 523: The Royal Family’s Trade Team 523: Chapter 523: The Royal Family’s Trade Team Although he didn’t know when the people from the Royal Family would return, Zhao Guang still visited everyday.

He had no choice; some orders had arrived, and he needed to personally go and take them back.

For instance, those Horse-slaying Sabers he purchased, as well as the game coins that were to be processed further, these items needed to be retrieved.

Once the Horse-slaying Sabers arrived, Zhao Guang immediately notified Elena.

“Lord, are you always this quick?” she asked.

“No, I’m not quick at all, but the production speed of the Horse-slaying Sabers is indeed not slow.

Anyway, take them all back, and let everyone switch to the new equipment.

For the few whose military merits are insufficient, we’ll have them make up for it later.”

“I understand, I will inform them,” Elena replied with great joy.

With suitable weapons, their overall strength was bound to become stronger.

In the past, their pursuit of weapons was not about suitability but craftsmanship.

Now that the weapons had become well-crafted, they started to seek ones more suitable for themselves.

As for the original axes, they had to be sent back to Zhao Guang; he wouldn’t allow them to just be taken away.

After all, even those axes did represent some amount of military merits.

On Earth, people would have criticized him for being greedy if they knew about this.

But, that’s just how things are calculated in this world.

He was simply following local customs.

It couldn’t be helped—he found the rules quite agreeable.

Never mind that, he distributed the items and continued his research.

Zhao Guang felt that he was getting closer and closer to perfection.

The next Talent Magic was ready and in planning.

After his breakthrough, his strength was undoubtedly going to undergo a qualitative change.

Two days later, the people from the Royal Family finally arrived.

“Why so suddenly?

Didn’t anyone inform us on the road?” Zhao Guang asked in surprise.

Royal family outings were generally grand occasions, with much fanfare.

One reason was the royal splendor, and the other was to inform people about who was arriving.

This also served as protection, prompting nearby nobles to safeguard the visitors.

At the same time, it deterred some people; if they didn’t want trouble, they would stay away.

Wherever they passed, nobles would come out to greet them and send people to guard.

However, this time, there was no such movement.

It was quite unexpected.

But it was also precisely because of no such movement that their arrival was so rapid; otherwise, they would have wasted much time on the road.

Zhao Guang did not know when they departed, but he only found out about their arrival upon reaching his territory.

“Where are they now?” Zhao Guang simply asked.

“They have already entered the range of Xuanwu Territory.

Considering the distance from here, and judging by their speed, they should arrive within an hour at most.”

“I see.

Call Qiao Miya over and let him arrange the welcome,” Zhao Guang instructed.

Suddenly, Zhao Guang remembered something, “Right, who are the visitors, and do they have any other purpose?”

“We don’t know the specifics, but after some investigation, among the visitors, there seems to be a court noble, and a noble lady.” This was deduced from decorations on the carriage, which differed depending on the status of those riding within.

“A noble lady?

I understand.

Have Xi Fei come over to prepare accommodations for the noble ladies.”

There was no helping it; the highest-ranking females on his side were only Xi Fei and Aleya.

However, Aleya was the Beastman ambassador and wouldn’t be appropriate for such tasks, leaving only Xi Fei to handle it.

Whether the other side would feel offended because of Xi Fei’s bloodline, he couldn’t do anything about that.

The other females under him neither understood these matters nor had sufficient status.

Well, since they had come to his domain, they would have to follow his arrangements completely.

After waiting a while, the caravan appeared in the distance and Zhao Guang went out to greet them.

Since he knew in advance, it was only natural for him to go out and welcome them.

However, seeing the person who alighted from the carriage, Zhao Guang was somewhat surprised.

“Greetings, Princess Caris.

What brings you to this place?” he inquired.

Unexpectedly, it was the Royal Family’s Third Princess, the one with the most normal appearance.

Yet, this princess was only six—no, seven now; he recalled meeting her last year.

Due to her young age, she was not very prominent.

On the contrary, the most prominent last year was Princess, whose formidable combat ability left a deep impression.

The little princess curtsied slightly: “Hello, Viscount Zhao Guang.

I didn’t expect you to remember me.

This trade is quite important, so my father sent me to handle it fully.”

So that was it.

Both princes had been dispatched, and the Princess was busy with many matters.

As to what the Second Princess was doing, Zhao Guang was clueless, but it seemed she too must have been tied up, or else she wouldn’t have let such a young princess come.

However, it was reasonable.

If it had been one of the other princesses, it might have sent a strange signal.

For instance, the Royal Family might be looking to forge an alliance through marriage.

That was quite plausible.

But it was different for the little princess.

Being only seven years old, she wasn’t at the age for such considerations.

Moreover, upon interaction, Zhao Guang found that this little princess was very smart, and her conduct was impeccable.

And there, beside her, wasn’t that Baron Babaza, the court etiquette housekeeper?

He didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance again, although it seemed Babaza was not pleased with his surroundings.

Was it a dislike of Zhao Guang or a feeling that the conditions here were too poor?

That disdain was clearly evident, unabashedly so.

What a fool, Zhao Guang thought.

If it weren’t for Royal Family clout, such a man would have no use at all.

Indeed, Princess Caris was in charge of the main affairs, but the details were managed by Baron Babaza.

Which meant he was here to act as a housekeeper for the princess.

Of course, this wasn’t the place for discussions.

Zhao Guang gestured, “Please follow me, Princess.

You must be weary from the travel; you may rest first.”

“Thank you for your trouble, let’s formally commence discussions tomorrow,” the little princess suggested as she walked along.

Being unfazed by fatigue was improbable, as the carriage didn’t seem one to alleviate weariness.

Lacking even shock absorbers, did they only value tradition and appearances?

He remembered even rickshaws had them.

Zhao Guang seriously doubted if riding a rickshaw here might have been more comfortable than that carriage.

Soon, Zhao Guang led them to their accommodations.

As they passed by Xi Fei, Baron Babaza scoffed disdainfully.

This attitude irritated Zhao Guang.

Was the man truly thoughtless, or was he deliberately behaving this way?
