Chapter 661: Chapter 179 Warning
As for the governance of Star Domain, Anvis is well-versed in it, due to the experience gained from experintally creating a city for Players.
Moreover, many matters don’t require his personal attention, as the original officials in several cities would filter out many trivial issues.
What Anvis needs to tackle are issues that low-level officials have no authority over or are unable to resolve, and he would pass the most important parts to the young girl for review.
The super-fast thinking speed of an Eighth Rank Professional is sufficient for him to easily manage a large volu of daily affairs of the domain.
However, there are always so matters that Fiona, as the lord, must handle personally.
.….….
“The Fourth Princess wishes to et with ?”
In the bedroom of the City Lord Mansion, Fiona, dressed in a comfortable light blue casual dress, sat on the bed with a little cat on her head, sowhat puzzled as she received a letter presented by Anvis on a silver platter.
After opening the envelope, a subtle, elegant fragrance wafted out, the paper rimd with simple silver vine patterns, while the center was etched with graceful handwriting using Magic Power,
In the letter, the Fourth Princess congratulates Fiona on her successful escape and return to the Olivendi Family, and praises the young girl as an outstanding lord.
At the end of the letter, the Fourth Princess stated that in seven days at noon, she will personally co to Star Domain to et the young girl and discuss face-to-face how to govern the domain.
“…Mr. Boli, what do you think about this?”
Looking at the end of the letter signed by Auswia Augustine, adorned with the Magic Emblem that represents her identity, Fiona sighed and reluctantly used Anvis’s pseudonym.
Although she has had to et various people since becoming the lord, this is the first ti a mber of the Royal Family like the Fourth Princess has requested a eting.
After all, the current relationship between the Empire Family and the Four Great Families is sowhat delicate, not to ntion considerations regarding safety, previously the interaction between the Royal Family and Star Domain was mostly limited only to correspondence.
“I believe, you should make so preparations in advance, Lord,”
Dressed in a formal black-and-white suit, Anvis formally offered advisory suggestions to the young girl, showing the stern and stiff deanor of a professional Governor.
“The Fourth Princess is a genuinely influential princess who, according to our information, has secretly taken control of one of the Three Great Knight Orders, the Rose Knight Order, and currently holds power second only to the First Prince who has the support of the Dawn Knights.
Also, her personal strength is already nearing the Eighth Rank Limit, and there’s a considerable possibility she might break through to Ninth Rank in the future. Gaining her favor would be quite beneficial for your future developnt.”
“But still, the relationship between our family and the Royal Family isn’t good, right? With my identity, is it alright for to et with the Royal Princess?”
Listening to Anvis’s words, Fiona nodded in agreent with what Kate on her head suggested, making sense, yet she raised her own concern.
After all, she is from the Olivendi Family; would privately eting with the Royal Princess be appropriate?
“No need to worry, Lord, didn’t the heads of the Three Great Empires also sit down together for a eting despite their history of bloody wars? Compared to that, what are our minor frictions with the Royal Family?”
Anvis waved his hand, explaining to the young girl.
However, Anvis left unsaid one possibility: that eting with the Fourth Princess might attract attacks from so enemies, which would conveniently allow the awaiting Ninth Ranks to chalk up so achievents.
“Of course, you are the lord of Star Domain, and whether to et or not is entirely up to your will. If you truly do not wish to et with the Fourth Princess, we can also arrange to politely decline for you.”
“There’s no need; please have Mr. Boli prepare the eting with Her Highness Auswia Augustine. If there is anything that needs my attention, you may tell directly.”
Fiona slightly shook her head; if things were as Anvis described, then she saw no reason to refuse.
After Anvis left, the side door of the bedroom opened, and from it erged a half-elf maid with black hair and green eyes, dressed in a black-and-white lace uniform, standing at Fiona’s side.
This was Fiona’s personal maid, Annie, who had been responsible for her daily care since Fiona was a child. When Fiona took up her role as the lord, Annie accompanied her and her position was elevated as well.
Currently, she is the Chief Maid of the City Lord Mansion, holding the authority to manage all affairs within the mansion and is directly subordinate to Fiona.
“Although it might be overstepping, Miss, personally, I think that the authority you’ve granted to Mr. Boli might be too extensive. At present, there is no one in the territory who could check his actions, which is very dangerous.”
Glancing at the now-closed room door, Annie spoke with concern, worried that her mistress’s excessive trust in her deputy might lead to future backlash from subordinates.
“Hmm, haven’t I told you already, Annie? It won’t happen; Mr. Boli… was specially assigned to by my father, he is trustworthy.”
Fiona was a bit helpless against her own maid’s advice.
This was not the first ti, and although she knew the intricacies, it was not convenient to reveal them to Annie.
“Perhaps he doesn’t think so now, but if this continues, it’s difficult to say whether he might develop thoughts detrintal to you…”
“Alright, Annie, I command you as the lord to not speak of this matter anymore—”
But before Annie could finish advising, Fiona cut her off with a whimsical tone, exercising her authority while playfully stretching out a tender finger to gently press upon her own lips.
“Ah… I understand, Miss.”
With a resigned sigh, Annie finally realized that this Ice Mage nad Levin Boli, by so ans, had seemingly earned her mistress’s complete trust.
It seed, if she wanted to maintain so balance, she herself would have to play the role of the stern figure.
A mont later, in the castle corridor, Annie intercepted Anvis who was instructing his subordinates to prepare the eting and reception area for the Fourth Princess.
“Ms. Annie? May I know why you stopped ? I have tasks assigned by Lord that I need to attend to.”
Though Anvis had more or less guessed Annie’s purpose, his deanor remained deliberately oblivious, maintaining a strictly businesslike attitude.
“It won’t take much of your ti, Mr. Boli. My purpose for coming here is only to remind you that the Lord is always observant of your every move.”
Facing Anvis’s deep black eyes, Annie gathered her courage, eting his gaze without flinching.
Now, as the Chief Maid of the castle and a direct subordinate of Fiona, she must secure advantages for her mistress.
“Please be vigilant of your behavior and do not make things difficult for the Miss.”
