Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
An Interesting Person
It turns out that the Petersburg region was the most prosperous region in the Moskov Empire. Its size may not be as big as Kiev and its resources are also not as much as other regions.
But it became the center of economic activity in Moskov and was much larger in scale than Kiev. The moment Issac and the others entered this region, that was what he thought in his head.
After searching for lodging for her bodyguards, she and her two girls went straight to the grand Mansion of the Duchess of Petersburg. Just in case, he took 50 people with him and asked them to wait outside the mansion.
"Welcome to this humble hut, Duke Starfall. Maybe not as fancy as some in the kingdom. We can guarantee your comfort here. Come, I'll take you to Miss Duches."
They were greeted by a senior maid in her 40s as soon as she got off her horse carriage. He then escorted Issac, Olivia, and Carolina to the office the Duchess of Petersburg used as her study.
"ah! Our guests have arrived! Ehemm. I am Duchess Petersburg, Maria Petersburg. Nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too, Miss Duchess. Let me introduce myself. I'm Duke Starfall, Issac Starfall. And these two girls who were beside me were my assistants on the official trip this time. Of course, they are my lovers too."
Issac introduces himself and Olivia and Carolina as well. Even the Duchess of Petersburg who considered herself beautiful was amazed at the beauty of the two of them. It seems that Issac's taste in choosing women as his life companion is very high.
"Then, let's let go of our formalities. Please sit Mr. Starfall, Miss Carolina, and Miss Olivia. I'll serve you all tea."
In a good mood, he delivered Issac to sit on the sofa and concoct tea for the three of them. The smell spread throughout the room. Looks like the tea formulated by Maria is of high quality.
Justright. The tea taste is delicious. It is black and tastes a little bitter. But with the appropriate mix of sugar, it really does taste just right.
"It looks like the tea taste is quite delicious huh? I'm grateful you enjoyed it. So Mr Starfall, ah may I call you Mr Issac? What makes you leave your job and go all the way to this place."
Issac who had just drank his tea put down the cup and straightened his back. After that, he began to talk.
"In general, I would like to meet you to speak. As I thought, you are a smart man. In particular, I would like to cooperate with you, Miss Maria."
Maria smiled then straightened her back and looked at Issac. He tries to assess the personality of the person in front of him.
"Oh yeah? What kind of cooperation do you think? Is this related to your territory or the kingdom?"
"I think it's both. The Petersburg Dukedom is the richest region regardless of its size and lack of natural resources. But you made Petersburg so advanced and prosperous since you became Duchess at the age of 19. That's an amazing achievement."
Maria laughed a little. Her attitude like that made her look graceful.
"Fufufu.you overestimated myself, Mr. Issac. This is all thanks to my competent and reliable subordinates. Now, can we get to the point?"
Issac nodded. He took a paper given by Olivia and gave it to Maria. It was a proposal of cooperation that he put together for Maria.
"You are a Rich Man. But unfortunately you do not have the right place to play your money. The Moskov Empire had too many corrupt officials while the Grand Aria Empire was ravaged by chaos.
"Or maybe you can invest and form a lot of businesses in neighboring areas, but the profit prospects they provide will be very small because of their area and the population is too small.
Maria carefully read the proposal given by Issac. Honestly, it's pretty promising. They have a lot of projects to run. The construction of hospitals, drug production facilities, the construction of several new cities in the former territory of the Garlin kingdom and others.
They also wanted to build a central printing press that required multiple book printing machines at great cost. If he could profit even ten or 15 percent of all this, surely he would get the results he hoped for.
In addition, there is also the same export and import cooperation. There were many items that could not be produced by the Moskov empire and vice versa. This would be a huge advantage for him.
"I don't mind this proposal. But there are some considerations that I have to think about carefully. I will probably confirm it within two or three days. Is there no problem?"
Issac nodded.
"No problem. Something like this can't be decided on your own. Well, Miss Maria, I'll excuse you first."
"Ah wait for Mr. Issac. I've prepared a room for you and your two lovers. If you don't mind, will you stay here?"
Issac looked at Carolina and Olivia. They don't have a problem. Eventually Issac accepted an invitation from the Duchess of Petersburg to stay in his mansion for a few days.
By the time he and the others wanted to leave the office, suddenly a black-haired young man entered and blocked them. Issac knew who this man was, he was Marquis Savoy.
"What are you doing here Savoy! Can't you see that there's a very important guest coming!"
"Hmmm? Important guest? You mean these guys? Duke of the eastern kingdom yes. But despite being a Duke, he only came from a small kingdom. There's nothing to be afraid of."
After saying that, his eyes moved and looked at Olivia and Carolina. A second later, his eyes became like wild stars.
"Ah sorry my disrespect, ladies and gentlemen. I am Arch Savoy, Marquis of Savoy County, pleased to meet you."
He immediately grabbed Carolina's hand and intended to kiss the back of her hand. But Carolina immediately withdrew her hand and put on a look of disdain. Olivia also moves away from Savoy and avoids eye contact with him.
Savoy was startled and immediately put on an annoyed and wrathful face. He was treated like a woman for the first time. Meanwhile, Issac became very interested.
He pulls Carolina and Olivia and kisses them on the lips in front of Maria and Savoy. Mary herself was hammering with a red face while Savoy, she was getting more and more wrathful.
"I'm sorry but these two guys are mine. In addition, if you act recklessly, it will cause an incident between the two parties later."
Savoy clicked his tongue and nearly attacked Issac. But Mary prevented that from happening.
"Stop Savoy! What do you really think about when you make a mess over my territory! get out of here now! I'm sorry, Mr. Issac, Miss Carolina, and Miss Olivia! Let me take you to your room."
While the malice lingered on Savoy's face, Issac grinned. Attractively. In addition to Duchess Maria, she got another interesting thing. Let's see what he's gonna do. How thought.
