Tayman Islands, International Harbour, Governor's Palace.

It's called the Governor's Palace, but you don't see Mr. Governor all year round, only the ultimate part-time worker Miss Mithril Dragon who uses her own money to pay her salary.

The whale oil light in the study is still bright, and the night breeze outside the open window can hardly hide the heat of early summer.

After washing, Catherine changed into a one-shoulder white silk nightdress, and used a sparkling sapphire hairpin to choke her long golden hair.

Curled up barefoot in the engineering chair given to her by her best friend Violet, she handles the tricky affairs of two territories and several companies one by one.

"The privateer fleet under the command of the Pioneer Navigation Colonial Trading Company has expanded to 4,500 men and 38 warships.

But if it wants to go toe-to-toe with the White Rose, sooner or later the company will have to take the road of professional militarized training, and those sloops that can only be used for plundering must also be refitted as soon as possible.

It costs money to train full-time soldiers, and it costs money to build ships.

The shipyard requested further dry docking, and the application to improve the efficiency of ship building must be approved.

This money had to be spent.

Embezzle a little bit of my little coffer. ”

"In the port city attached to the Riptide Fortress, the construction of staff housing and coastal villas in various factories should also be accelerated.

Ever since the Arsenal had sent a batch of fine munitions to the Azkh Empire, helping them to capture the weakly defended Port Royal in Havana.

The influence of the fortress began to spread to the north, and relying on the faith of the [Father of Medicine], more and more city-states were willing to join the trading system.

Violet said that the rapids fortress had a poor industrial and agricultural scissors on the primitive city-state, as well as a siphoning effect on the population.

This money had to be spent.

Let's embezzle my little coffers again. ”

Pages and pages of documents are flipped through.

"Some time ago, Pioneer Bank finally took the first step and opened its first branch in the Dutch colony, where the business atmosphere was strongest.

The Remet bastards even carried out a surprise attack, and several bankers bought the certificates of deposit of retail investors at a premium, and jointly ran on me.

It is important to have sufficient reserves at all times.

If you can't make money, you lose money.

This money had to be spent.

Let's embezzle my little coffers one more time. ”

"My grandfather assisted Byron's grandfather in the war between the kingdom and the Iris, and there are countless nobles in the country who have received his favor.

To this day, there are still many families who still have sympathy and kindness for the Greenville family.

To maintain relations and win sympathy, it is necessary to prepare excess Bantaan specialties, gold and silver treasures, fine spices, special antiques, and estate title deeds

I know the preferences and taboos of every family and every family member by heart.

Marketing Fundamentals: Customers will only be satisfied if they exceed their expectations.

Marketing expenses are also a big part of the money.

It just so happened that I had heard that the Earl of Warwick was vying for power with Edward IV, and that both sides were very ruthless against dissidents in the York Party.

If I can do a good job for Byron, it is not entirely impossible to try to win over the domestic centrists.

This money has to be spent.

My little coffers are gone, so let's embezzle Byron's wife Ben a little. ”

“”

From the inside out, from Bantaan to the Old World, the girl takes care of everything in order.

In other words, the education she received from a young age in the family of Prince Sorenburg was to train this adopted daughter to be an outstanding virtuous helper.

What Byron's father has in mind, then the benevolent will see the wise.

The clock on the ground struck eight times in a row, and Catherine put down the quill in her hand and stretched out her waist with a perfect curve.

The loose nightgown slipped halfway off the silky white shoulders, revealing the delicate collarbones, and the scenery was unique but no one could admire.

He grabbed a piece of scone prepared by the maid at the table to cushion his stomach, and casually picked up a rattan basket next to the table, which contained a half-sewn men's silk shirt.

A Mithril needle automatically flipped up and down, and the stitches were densely sewn.

"The rainy season has arrived, and Byron's new clothes should be prepared early.

Lately, this stinky boy has skyrocketed in height, and the clothes I have hidden in my closet that he used to wear in Sorrenburg don't fit.

The requirement of the [Blood Feast Holy Grail] is to maintain an aristocratic demeanor at all times, and the clothing is basic, if you don't wear it well, you will be underestimated.

The protagonists in the story who go to the banquet in tattered clothes are all nonsense, and being inappropriately dressed is in itself disrespectful to the host of the banquet who invited you.

If you are rude first, where does you have the confidence to accuse others?

It's all sour jokes made up by bards, and if you believe them to play mavericks, I'm afraid you'll have to be insulated from your social circle for the rest of your life.

Unless he is a solipsistic dictator, even if he does not wear clothes, even the king must take the lead in observing etiquette.

It's not that I'm bragging, but when it comes to tailoring skills, the tailors of the entire Hattings colony can't compare to me.

The money for silk clothing also had to be spent. ”

Catherine said "I had to spend" in her mind countless times throughout the night, but she had long forgotten that she had not added a single new dress to herself since she came to the Bantaan Islands.

should have been naturally classified by her as "can not be spent".

"Alas, money, money, why is our money gone, this is all Byron was born and died, and he fought hard for money!"

The girl sighed faintly, looking out the window at the night.

Obviously he is paralyzing himself with a high load of work, trying not to think about his younger brother who is risking his life.

But in the dead of night, thoughts can't stop pouring out from the bottom of my heart.

Then.

Suddenly, a refreshing cool breeze that seemed to have descended from high in the sky blew violently outside the window, and Catherine subconsciously squinted her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she was covered with her hands from behind, and a somewhat under-beaten voice was put into her ear and asked with a smile:

"Sister, guess who I am?"

The girl's heart suddenly rejoiced, and she raised her hand angrily and gave Byron an elbow blow, and said angrily: "What a childish ghost." ”

When they were separated, they were full of worries, but as soon as they really returned home safely and put their hearts back in their stomachs, they immediately germinated in a solid state and became a fierce housekeeper.

Byron only experimented with the abilities of [Storm Admiral] a little on the way, and sent the trio of the church who had already mastered it back to the camp nearby, and then started the deep sea jump back to the international port.

All the way, rushed back as soon as possible to keep Catherine safe and send surprises.

"Ha, a man is a teenager until he dies, and I can only get up childish in front of you."

Rubbing his eight-pack abs, which didn't hurt or itch, he walked to the opposite side of the desk, and pouted when he saw the table full of documents and financial expenditures.

Not only did he not help, but he put his feet on the table very casually like an uncle who didn't care about himself.

It's like I don't take those things to heart at all.

Catherine, who had been busy all day, was angry when she saw that this guy looked leisurely and leisurely, and she didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were at home.

With both hands pinching his waist, his willow eyebrows were upside down, and he was about to get angry, so that he could experience what it meant to be "the Mithril Iron Fist of my sister's love".

was preempted by Byron:

"You have that bitter melon-like expression, Uncle Ben doesn't like to look at it, come, give him a smile."

Bang dang!

With a snap of his fingers, a treasure chest fell heavily to the floor, and then it toppled over, and countless gold coins flowed to the ground with a "bang".

Catherine's apricot eyes were round, her eyes were full of gold, and her small mouth opened cutely.

"Ah——!h

After reacting, he immediately screamed, jumped off the chair, stepped on a pair of teak slippers and ran to Byron's side, and gently helped him pinch his shoulders and beat his legs.

"It's hard to go out, let my sister take a good look, is there any injury?"

"Comfortable, a little further down, a little further down, oh ho, the strength is very good."

Who knows?

After making a fortune, it is really more gratifying to have a loved one who can share the joy than the fact that the fortune itself is worthy.

Lord Byron enjoyed the attentive massage service, shook his finger again, and continued to command:

"I haven't eaten all day today, I'm hungry."

Catherine immediately picked up the plate of scones on the table for supper.

And then because of Byron's sentence "Cream jam version." He froze on the spot.

Scones are made with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk, and come in both salty and sweet flavors.

It is usually eaten with jam and cream and spread on the cut cake.

However, the people of the Hattings in different regions had their own opinions about whether to spread the jam or the cream first, and they quarreled for a long time.

This divide originated in Cornwall and Devon.

Cornwall insisted that scones should be served with jam and then cream, but Devon refused and had to be creamed and then jam.

The two sides have been arguing for centuries over which way to eat more authentically.

Both of them can be sweet or savory, but Byron is a staunch cream party and Catherine is a more staunch jam party.

If it is difficult to understand, you only need to substitute the sweet and salty debate between sweet bean brain and salted bean brain.

You can instantly see at a glance what a serious bottom-line problem this is.

Bang dang!

A crate of Mithril silver ingots smashed to the ground.

Catherine immediately went from good to good, and threw away her bottom line.

He brought the cream jam version of scones to Byron's mouth and helped him wipe the jam from the corner of his mouth.

I was reluctant to waste it and stuffed it into my mouth.

"Not bad, not bad, ahahaha"

Someone was complacent, and casually made an even more excessive request.

"My dear sister, can we do the dragon knight thing we talked about at the beginning?"

Hearing this, Catherine's beautiful face was first red, and then full of tangled colors.

Bang dang!

Another box of gold coins smashed in front of her.

Bang dang!

Bang dang!

Bang dang

When she smashed the sixth chest, the treasure on the ground finally broke through her heart.

He nodded solemnly.

"It doesn't matter if you have money or not, I'm just worried that you're not safe when you're flying high alone.

Let me, sister, protect you. ”

In this world, there are gains and losses, and although some people have gained money, they should not be complacent first, because they have also lost their boundless troubles.

If you get something, you will inevitably lose something, the Heavenly Dao Cycle, that's exactly what it is, you deserve it!
