Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

In order to consolidate his rule, the king took drastic measures against the nobles and confiscated their wealth.

People like Tan Aili are also trying to obtain resources through reasonable means, borrowing the money that the palace cannot spend and maintaining their own business empire.

The granting and inheritance of titles in this world has strict regulations and deep traditions. Tan Aili's title can only be formed naturally because of the construction of the city.

This also reflects the special status and value of her family or herself to some extent. Even if Tan Aili, who is financially strong, wants to upgrade the castle into a small city, it is impossible to do it in a short period of time, so she can only think of other ways.

The royal family's money cannot be spent, so if it is loaned out, everyone will be happy. It would be great if the princes are willing to borrow money to defend the city. The commercial ability of Sheldon Castle is definitely able to repay.

The only risk is the fall of Sheldon Castle, but now that the money cannot be spent, it is better to give it to the princes to try. If the princes can hold up a large number of troops, then even if the money is lost, the royal family will still make money in the overall situation.

Tan Aili proudly explained the reason, so the probability of successfully borrowing money in Beijing was as high as 100%.

Kashin said with admiration: "Relying on Emily's visit to the capital to meet the king, you have such a bold idea? Awesome..." His eyes were full of amazement and admiration.

"This is also a business consideration. Now I have to gamble everything I have. The church will not let me go, so I am not allowed to surrender unless the king wins. So we have the most consistent goals with the king. If the king is reluctant to give up money, it only means that he can't accomplish anything great. Even if we bet everything, we can only fight alone. Don't expect me to be loyal in the future..." Tan Aili's tone was firm, and her eyes showed a firm determination.

Kashin smiled and said, "Okay, it's normal if the king doesn't trust you. There's no need to be petty. The palace is not your family's. If it really doesn't work, don't be too radical. Find a way ourselves..." Kashin tried to ease the atmosphere, still with a gentle smile on his face.

"You are always so wishy-washy and have no stance. Sometimes you have to defend your position with reason. Even if I can't borrow money, I have widely publicized the loyal act of Sheldon Castle so that the king can understand..." Tan Aili glared at Kashen with some dissatisfaction.

"Okay! My dear, you are a person who will never suffer any loss. You never get enough of making profits. Haha, the king will definitely have a headache when he sees you..." Kashen laughed, trying to resolve Tan Aili's seriousness in this way.

In this world full of power struggles and conflicts of interest, everyone is racking their brains for their own survival and development. The courage and determination of Tan Aili are actually forced out in adversity.

Countless people have taken risks for the honor of their families and the safety of their territories. And now, Tan Aili is also standing at such a crossroads.

As the pinnacle of power, the king's decisions often affect the fate of countless people. Local forces like Tan Aili also face many tests and doubts in the process of seeking support.

Whether she could gain the king's trust and support depended not only on her eloquence and planning, but also on the political situation at the time, the king's character and decision-making style.

Loyalty is regarded as a noble quality in this world. Tan Aili's attitude towards the king is both a redefinition of loyalty and a challenge to the traditional power structure.

The two were not in the mood for love tonight. They just chatted for a while, took a shower and rested. Kashin didn't want to sleep on the soft and comfortable big bed at the moment, so he practiced in the meditation room all night.

The next morning, after the family had breakfast, Emily took Tan Aili to Beijing. They brought the castle renovation plan and the city wall blueprint to illustrate their determination to prepare for the war and the difficulties they faced. These were not just a few simple drawings, but also a concrete manifestation of their efforts for survival and dignity.

On the way to Beijing, Tan Aili was very nervous. She knew that this meeting was very important, and it was related to the future of the castle and even the life and death of everyone.

Emily kept cheering her up, encouraging her to have faith and believe that her plan would impress the king...

Not long after Tan Aili and Emily left, Rupert rode the majestic wolf to the castle. At this time, Kashin was preparing for the upcoming training. When he saw the little guy coming, he immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Didn't you go back? Why are you back again?" Kashin asked puzzledly.

"Lord Kashin, I made a lot of money this time with the goods I brought back, and the income was much better than that from the headquarters. I was at the Capital Magic Association yesterday and had a good look around. This time I brought back a batch of medicinal raw materials and made a lot of money. Then I ordered a large number of alchemical products, especially crystal utensils. I plan to go back soon, so I got the status of a diplomatic envoy..." Rupert excitedly recounted his experience, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Kashin then realized that this kid had gone back to imitate him and become a diplomat. This way, he could make a lot of profit by going back once every one or two months, which was really a smart idea.

"Okay, I'll arrange a room for you!" Kashin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Kashin, I'd better have some breakfast..." Rupert touched his stomach with anticipation on his face. He was very satisfied with the effect of the castle's renovation, but he was not surprised. After all, he had lived in such a superior environment for many years.

In this world full of fantasy and mystery, the choice between love and career is always tangled. Kashen knows that he cannot control the affairs of boys and girls. After all, Rupert will not take Emily away. Even if he does, it doesn't matter. This child is a good person and is someone Emily can entrust her life to. I wish them happiness.

"Lord Kashin, I want to settle down here in the future. I originally wanted to develop in my hometown, but after all, the country is too small, resources are limited and full of competition. So how about settling my family business here?" Rupert looked at Kashin expectantly.

"Are you planning to live happily with Emily? Have you ever thought about how your parents view this issue?" Kashen raised the question in his mind with a serious expression.

"Even if there is no love affair between Emily and I, I am still from the headquarters. It is unlikely that I will be able to return to my hometown to develop if I live on the Magic Island. Besides, my sister and brother at home are both talented in magic, and the family does not need me to worry about them. Going back regularly to give them money will be more beneficial to the family than staying at home..." Rupert explained in an orderly manner.

In many similar small principalities, the scarcity of resources and fierce competition often force people to seek development opportunities outside. Rupert's choice is not an isolated case, but a reflection of a common phenomenon.

The magical talents of Rupert's sister and brother made him, when considering the family, prefer external financial support rather than developing it personally in his hometown.

The Principality of Tiny may have unique cultural traditions and values. However, in the face of the reality of development difficulties, young people like Rupert have to break through the shackles of tradition and seek new ways out.

Kashen nodded to show his agreement with his idea. The Principality of Tiny, with a radius of 700 miles, was not as big as the mountainous area where he was born.

With more magicians, resource allocation becomes even more strained, and it's really hard to do it. It seems that Rupert's choice is also a helpless one, but at the same time it is full of hope and courage for the future.
