Chapter 548 I want you for myself
?When this voice rang out, everyone suddenly turned to look in the direction that it came from.
The moment that they saw this person, they couldn’t help being shocked.
That included me since I had no idea what this person was doing here.
Standing at the entrance of this room was a beautiful girl with blonde hair wearing a gorgeous dress.
This was a person that everyone recognized since she was famous in the kingdom.
Ever since her father sent her portrait to every part of the kingdom for her sixteenth birthday.
It was the princess, Angela.
She just ignored everyone that was staring at her and moved into the room.
As they watched her come in, they couldn’t help standing up as if they were about to bow to her.
The princess just calmly waved her hand before saying to Rose, “This plan of yours, it really is something that I’ve never seen before. How did you come up with it?”
Rose shook her head before saying, “I can’t take all the credit for coming up with it. If it wasn’t for my husband giving me this idea, I wouldn’t have been able to even begin coming up with this plan.”
The princess’ eyes seemed to twitch a bit when she heard this, but she still said with the same smile, “It seems like there are still quite a few unknown talented people in our kingdom.”
After saying that, she walked over to Rose and said, “How about you come and work for me?”
When they heard this, all of the representatives couldn’t help panicking.
While the princess was someone that they couldn’t mess with, the fact of the matter was that the princess was now stealing this opportunity from them.
They had already been moved by Rose’s proposal, but they had wanted to stall for more benefits.
But if Rose was actually moved by the princess’ offer and really cancelled this, then it would be terrible for them.
So they were panicking as they were thinking of a way to try and seal this deal before that happened. But there was also one major problem that was standing in their way to do this.
It was the princess.
The princess had made an offer and if they were to try to cut in on that, there was no doubt that they would offend the princess.
So they were trying to think of the best way for them to backtrack on what they had said before.
Rose further lit a fire under their butts when she said, “Your highness, that is a very enticing offer. May I ask what other benefits you are offering?”
The princess revealed a wide smile as she said, “Whatever benefits you can think of. That’s how much I want you for myself.”
All of the representatives once again trembled in fear, but also a bit of shock when they heard this. It was as if they could hear something strange in the way that the princess had said this.
After all these years, the princess still hadn’t found anyone yet…
Could it be that the princess was into…?
But they quickly shook that disrespectful thought out of their minds and focused on what they needed to focus on. Right now, the most important thing was figuring out how to get Rose back on track.
Finally, one of the representatives couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Countess Rose, may we talk to you for a bit in private?” He turned to the princess and said, “Your highness, if you would excuse us for a minute. We have something to discuss about our business prior to you coming.”
The princess narrowed her eyes to look at the representative who looked afraid, but she gave a nod in the end and turned to leave.
The representatives were all shocked to see how easily the princess was leaving, but then they felt the urgency of their situation again.
The representative who had spoken turned to Rose to say, “Countess Rose, if possible, can we sign the agreement from before? I have thought about it and have decided that I wish to sign it now.”
With this one taking the lead, the other representatives quickly started saying that they wanted to sign as well.
But Rose didn’t say a single thing while they were saying this.
Only when they realized that something was off and stopped did she finally say, “Hmm, but it seems like the princess’ offer is more enticing. I wonder what I should do?”
All of them started to tremble when they heard this.
They looked at each other with worried looks before the first representative who had spoken before said, “Un, we’re willing to donate a bit more to the granary.”
Rose just put her finger on her chin and acted like she was thinking about it.
The representatives couldn’t help gritting their teeth when they saw this.
They could tell that now, they were the ones that were being pressured. They were the ones that held the cards before, but now it was them that were being pressured by Rose.
After grinding their teeth over this situation for a bit, the representative then said, “We’re willing to increase the fees for selling our goods across the kingdom.”
The others gave slow nods of agreement, but the pained look on their faces made it clear that they weren’t happy about this.
Rose just stood there in silence for a bit before turning to Viscountess Henry beside her.
Viscountess Henry took out a piece of paper that she took and placed on the table in front of these representatives without saying a word.
The smile on her face made it clear what this was.
They all crowded forward to see what the terms were, but the moment that they did…
“This is…”
All of them had shocked looks on their faces when they saw this, but their expressions also looked ugly.
The representative from before couldn’t help asking, “Is this serious?”
Rose just looked at him and nodded with a smile on her face.
