Rise of the Plants

Chapter 135 Royal Palace Controversy (410)

After a little preparation, Sophira said goodbye to Sawyer and walked towards the palace. The so-called palace is a Western-style building. The most eye-catching thing in the middle is a special hemispherical building on the top of the central tower.

Below is where the palace normally handles business, and behind it is where the king lives. If she wanted to enter the palace, even Sophira had to go through layers of inspections before she could actually enter.

When Sophila entered, there were already several people waiting in the hall.

At the front is the king of Rusiyala Kingdom. The king has a kind face. His gray hair and beard and wrinkles on his face prove that he is not young anymore. Sitting on his throne, his eyes felt a little sleepy.

"My daughter has met her father." Sophira quickly stepped forward and made a lady's bow.

The old king nodded slightly, raised his palm in vain, and Sophira immediately got up.

"Sophila, what happened? Why did you call us all here? I have to monitor those people who have problems." An adult man next to him said unceremoniously to Sophira.

This person is Sophira's second brother Kea. He is currently in charge of the security work in the imperial capital of Rusiyala Kingdom. He is also a prince with real power, second only to their eldest brother.

Sofila shook her head slightly: "Of course I won't disturb you if there is nothing important. This matter is really important and involves some issues regarding the situation in the border province of Remas."

"Sophila, I heard that you went to Remas some time ago. Is it because of this incident? But Remas is fighting a war now. Even my sister can't go. What can you do?"

The person speaking was the second princess Su Leisi. Su Leisi had no real power in the Rusiyala Empire, but she owned the Gastrodia Chamber of Commerce, the most powerful chamber of commerce in the entire empire. She could be said to be one of the richest women in the entire empire. Therefore, throughout the kingdom, there are many nobles who have close relationships with Suleis, and Suleis and Sophila have always had a good relationship.

Sophila knew that this was her second sister reminding her, and showed a reassuring smile to Su Leisi.

A woman at the front with a full temperament of a queen also spoke: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't be secretive."

The person who spoke this time was the eldest princess of the kingdom, Carolis. Carolis was not as rich as her sister Suleis, but she controlled several ports in the empire. If it weren't for being a woman, I'm afraid she would be the most powerful contender for the next throne, but even so, she is only a little worse than the eldest prince.

As soon as Carolis spoke, Sophira's neck shrank slightly. There is no way, Sofila has been watched by Carolis since she was a child. It can be said that Carolis has replaced her mother who died young in his heart.

Because Carolis has always been very dignified, when facing this eldest sister, Sophila was even more cautious than facing her own father, and her mood suddenly lifted.

Sophira took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down before saying, "It's like this. Some time ago, my daughter conferred the title of a noble, and this noble was a half-elf."

"We all know this. You don't need to remind us. Could it be that the half-elf can invite reinforcements?"

Hearing Kea's words, Sophira frowned a little. She had not had a good relationship with this brother since she was a child.

"Second brother, please listen to me first. The thing is like this. Just today, the frontline commander of Remas and many nobles sent me a letter jointly signed by them, requesting to purchase the pneumatic machine made by Baron Chi Nan, the lord of Red Sand Ridge. Cannon. This pneumatic cannon can change the battlefield situation. With this, Remas's war can basically end quickly."

"Moreover, whether it is a pea cannon or a pneumatic cannon, it can greatly enhance the strength of our kingdom. If it can be installed in large numbers, the status of our kingdom will be greatly improved."

With that said, Sophila took out the letter without waiting for them to speak.

"Is what you said true? You couldn't have been deceived. You can't believe this kind of thing casually. If there really was such a good thing, other countries would have come up with it long ago." The eldest princess was a little dissatisfied. .

But several people still got the letter, and the copy in the king's hand was naturally sent by the frontline commander of Remas. "It's a letter from Earl Longgen. Earl Longgen has always been very prudent in doing things. Since he said this, then this matter is basically certain." The old king spoke for the first time.

"In that case, let's order Baron Chi Nan to make pea cannons and pneumatic cannons."

Kea's words made Sophira frown slightly. She actually directly ordered her subordinate nobles, and she still had such a tough attitude. This obviously meant that she didn't take herself to heart.

Sophila only had this one thing to rely on now, and she couldn't let Kea destroy it, so she immediately said: "According to Baron Chi Nan's opinion, I will give them the purchase qualification, and they will hand the golden dragon directly to me. Their pricing is considered to be one One hundred golden dragons and one pneumatic cannon are most suitable. The price is already very high, so I don’t think it’s necessary to keep increasing it.”

"Okay, one hundred golden dragons, and then all the money will be sent to the treasury."

"Keia, what do you mean? The interests of the nobles are sacred and inviolable. Have you forgotten? Or are you planning to go against all the nobles?"

Kea sneered: "He's just a half-elf, and he's not a human being. Why should we give him status? If he can make something useful to the kingdom, then just capture him and have him make it specifically for us." "The two were tit for tat.

The old king finally said: "Okay, let's let this matter be. Since Baron Chinan is already a noble of our Rusiyala Empire, then treat him as a noble. But since he wants them to give He serves as a backer, so this benefit is indispensable." A light flashed in the king's eyes.

Kea opened her mouth, but finally shut up unwillingly. There is no way, he is not the king now, he can only listen to what the king says. Originally, he wanted to exclude Chi Nan from Sophila.

According to this report, could he not see the value of Chi Nan? It was only because the other party was a half-elf, or someone consecrated by his sister Sophira, whom he had always looked down upon, that he was so fierce.

There were already four people vying for the throne, and he didn't want to add one more. Sophila whispered: "Indeed, we should share part of the benefits." Sophila knew that this was the reason why Chi Nan made her decision.
