Three Princesses
Chapter 11:Three Princesses
“The sea breeze is cold,” said Garcia Wimbledon, looking at the ocean without a limit.
"Because winter is coming," replied a handsome-looking man behind her, "although it belongs to the south, but it is not a very south-north place after all."Only the Sand people do not understand what winter is.”
"Our fleet can't leave port in the winter, and the ocean currents will make it difficult for them to walk.So this time it should be the last flight."The woman looked back, “Farin, how long has the black sail been out?”
“Two months and four days,” the man said without hesitation, “if not to be surprised, they will arrive at the port of Bishui three days later.”
Garcia laughed, "I hope they will surprise me enough."
Farion Coban looked at the woman in front of him and felt it.Her gray hair reflected a silky silver light in the autumn sun; her eyes were light green, her eyes were narrow, and she had an indescribable sense of oppression when she stared at people.After a long stay by the sea, her skin was slightly rough, not as white as the other women in the royal family, but Farion did not care at all.In his eyes, Garcia has a temperament enough to overshadow any beauty.
Unlike the stupors in the gray castle, the three royal daughters of Wimbledon are true geniuses.She has the wisdom and pride of the aristocracy, but not as obedient as the aristocracy, and she is even a bit like a commoner - full of expectations for breaking the blandness, very adventurous spirit.
Of course, no common man would have a height and vision like her, and even the dukes and princes would appear short-sighted in front of her.All the trade income of the port can be invested in the construction of the fleet, and there is no coin left in the vault, which is far from the right of the miser.
“These golden dragons have no meaning in the cupboard, and when they are not, they are like stones.Only when you spend it can it reflect its own value.The point is that spending it is not equal to losing it, as long as you use it, you will get far more than it yourself.Farion now deeply remembers what she said to her, almost breaking through the inherent ideas that had been formed in his mind for a long time.
Compared with the royal nobles who counted their savings all day and how much they had grown, Farion felt that this was the way of the rulers.
So he threw himself into Gasia and followed her to the port of Bishui.
When she arrived, Farion found that her three princesses had done so much more than that—she had ideas, but also actions.She developed a black sail plan around this core, and implemented it step by step.As early as five years ago, the forces cultivated by Garcia had infiltrated the port of Bliss and prepared to form a black sailing team – and at that time, Wimbledon III had not yet proposed a royal decree.In other words, she was already ahead of all the heirs.
"Go back to the house, the wind is getting bigger and bigger," said Garcia.Her palace is located in the southernmost part of the port, on top of the salmon harbor.The tower-like building is like a watchman stationed on the coast, and at the top of the tower is a circular terrace with an open view of the entire harbor and the merchant ships that come and go here.
Now, after five years of operation, the trade of the port has begun to take shape, and the dock will be launched every six months, and he has won the initial trust of the other side.While the three princesses looked in a good mood, Farion hesitated to ask the biggest doubts in his mind in the past few months.
“My lord, I don’t understand anything,” he closed the door and cut off the whistling sea breeze outside the house.
“You say,” she said with a smile.
“Why did the king not make a king’s order before you could have foreseen it?”He also wondered if Wimbledon III had told her in advance, but he knew it would never have been possible after careful deliberation.Everyone knows that the two princes are the most important heirs of the king, and it is for him that the royal decree is set up for him, as can be seen from the fiefdom of the two princes.
Can you guess all this on your own and start laying it out five years ago?God was up there, she was only 18 years old!
“Foreknowledge?”She looked funny, “Do you think I’m a witch?”I don't have the ability to pretend to be a ghost."
“Oh, but...”
"I didn't know that my father would come up with such a bad idea to fight for the king's order, to pave the way for his two-year-old son."In fact, does the king’s decision have anything to do with what I do?”
No relationship?Farion suddenly became as if he realized something and grew his mouth in astonishment.
Seeing the incredulous expression of Farion Copan's face, Garcia smiled, "Do you have to wait for my father to say that I can compete for the throne, and I have this right to fight?"In the same way, the one who governs the city best must be able to sit on the throne of the Grey Fort?I thought you could understand it when you saw the Black Sail Project."
It turned out that Farian murmured that her fleet was not merely formed for belongings.After the trade, this fleet of the Three Queens would change black sails far from the port and rob merchant ships of other cities or countries.Similarly, the three princesses encouraged her people to sail out to sea and participate in the black sail plan.She promised that any looted property would be owned by the shipowner, and that the port of Bishui would never be taxed for this profit.
The move brought her enormous wealth, so this time she simply ordered the black sailing team to go straight south to plunder any ships that passed through the endless cape, as well as the sand people in the south.
These initiatives are not just for money.Garcia did not use this plundered wealth to build the city or expand the land trade, but she only put them into the shipyard and continue to build more large ships.
In the years she gained a large number of experienced sailors, fierce warriors, and popular hearts—and if she could not continue to govern, all the evildoers involved in the plunder would be put to the gallows.
"The one who governs the city best will surely sit on the throne of the Grey Fort?"No, Farion now knew that he could sit on the throne, and that he could have many ships and soldiers, who could go up along the Three Bays River to Jiaxia Wimbledon under the Golden Ear.
“Do you know you’ll be assigned to the port of Bishui?”
"This is an accident, a trade is just an addition," Jiacia shrugged, "it was the church to fool me..."
Related to the Church?Seeing that the other party did not continue to say, Farion did not dare to ask.But he knew that even if Garcia had not come to the port of Bliss, the place would have followed her will and continued in the direction she wished.
"Take these aside," she poured herself a cup of black tea, "and the little trick before it seems to have failed."
"Ah, yes," replied Farrain, "only news has come from the border town, reporting that the pill has failed."There's no news anywhere else."
"No news should have been done by the brothers, to be expected."It is a piece that is arranged with your hands, it has nothing to do with the big picture, but it is used to kill this waiting time.But...” She said, “It’s normal for other pieces to fail, but I didn’t expect even the four brothers to be fine.”Honestly, I'm a little disappointed."
"The kingfisher said in the secret letter that the pill did go on, but..."
"Failure is failure, I don't want to hear an explanation," interrupted Garcia, "it won't be long before it's the month of demons, and our lovely Prince His Highness will take refuge in the long-song fortress."When the evil beast invades, the fortress will be in disarray for a while.Write to her and let her take advantage of her chances.I want to see if the goddess of luck will still be on the side of the fourth brother this time."
“Yes, Your Highness.”
"Go down," Gacia waved, and the three princesses stopped him as Farion was about to retire, "Ah, yes.I remember that pill was bought at the alchemist Embise, didn’t I?”
Farion nodded.
“What did he say then?Colorless and odorless, such as water, death, no medicine to save, or his latest alchemy results?"Garcia yawned, "Hang him."
