Chapter 663: Chapter 181: The Fourth Princess’s Field Research
Since that night, officials and maids in the Lord Mansion began to notice that the Chief Maid changed her attitude towards the Lord Deputy, if only slightly.
She stopped tattling to Fiona and started to secretly pay attention to Anvis’s actions, speculating about the reasons behind his behaviors.
Although it seed to be a benefit from Boli’s words, in Annie’s eyes, Levin Boli being completely trusted by Fiona was very dangerous.
With the great power of Deputy Boli, should he wish, he could easily make many crucial arrangents without Fiona’s knowledge.
If this continued over a long period, and the other party truly turned traitor, planted undercover agents throughout the territory, and coordinated an attack on the young lady from the inside and out, then all would be irretrievable.
Even though Fiona didn’t care, Annie dared not let down her guard completely.
Anvis was very aware of Annie’s intentional and unintentional surveillance, but he did not mind at all.
In fact, he even made so of his actions more apparent, to prevent Annie from missing them.
As Fiona’s personal maid, Annie was indeed loyal, but not very sharp, which was not a good thing.
While it seed that Annie was the one doing the surveillance, Anvis was actually using her surveillance as a way to subtly teach her more about the managent of the domain.
In doing so, should a day co when he had to leave for so reason, Annie could imdiately take over his position.
Allowing Annie to conduct surveillance was much more effective than forcing her to learn by following him around since she had to actively think and analyze the aning behind his various actions, which was completely different in terms of initiative.
….….
While Anvis was preparing for his secret eting with the Fourth Princess, she, Princess Auswia, had already arrived in Silver Gull City undercover with her subordinates.
Although the letter stated that they would et in Star Domain with Fiona after seven days, in actuality, she intended to take a look in advance from the perspective of an ordinary traveler to see what the Star Domain, reputed for its unique governance in intelligence reports, was truly like.
Upon entering the city, what caught the eyes of the Fourth Princess and her entourage was a cityscape utterly different from the other cities of the Gloria Empire.
It was a distinct feeling; if other cities were like staid and serious middle-aged n, then the expanded Silver Gull City was like an energetic youth, brimming with an extraordinary vigor.
The city interior was exceptionally clean, the spacious white stone streets showed clear signs of being reinforced by magic, with chanical Demon Statues clearing the environnt on the streets, constantly maintaining the city’s cleanliness.
Various chanical vehicles flowed incessantly through the middle of the roads, providing transport services to those in need, while slower carriages traveled on designated carriage lanes on the side, clearly organized.
On both sides of the road, people of different appearances and races walked on the sidewalks.
Imperial citizens, Cliff people, Feathered Race, Beastn, Elves, Dwarves… many rare races could be seen here, and the pedestrians seed to take their presence for granted.
“This is astonishing. I rember that before the legendary Miss Fiona took over, this city was not like this at all.
Perhaps during the process when she was captured, she was influenced and inspired by the Federation? If that’s the case, then she and those Reformists surely have a lot in common to talk about.”
Murmuring to herself, the Fourth Princess surveyed the pedestrians coming and going.
On their faces, she saw sothing rare, known as hope.
“How interesting, I am now looking forward even more to the eting seven days from now. Perhaps… I might receive so unexpected surprises?”
Observing the operation of the city carefully, the Fourth Princess also tried riding the chanical vehicles and found the prices incredibly low, surprisingly so.
The cheapest large passenger vehicles needed only one or two copper coins per ride. Even though they ran on specific circular tracks and only stopped at fixed spots, that did not overshadow their trendous advantage.
After all, in the major cities of the Yar Continent, the majority are still ordinary people and apprentice-level Professionals who need to get up early each morning to go to their positions across the city.
These vehicles can save them a lot of ti and energy on commuting, allowing them to arrive at their jobs with more vigor, ready to shine and contribute.
Most importantly, the existence of multiple chanical Train routes has connected Silver Gull City with several nearby cities. Construction can even be seen outside the city on tracks expected to connect with other major cities in Karlars Province.
This has greatly increased the mobility between several cities, making it possible for an ordinary person to be dispatched to Black Rock City to handle work in the morning and return to Silver Gull City for lunch.
Auswia also noticed a detail that the number of foreigners here was obviously higher than most other cities of the sa size in the Empire, and they all behaved quite normally.
This in itself was not very normal.
Noting this quietly, the Fourth Princess planned to ask Fiona about it directly afterwards.
In the days that followed, the Princess and her party simply settled down in Silver Gull City. anwhile, she indirectly inquired with so city residents about the changes in the city.
So were the original locals, telling the Princess that all changes stemd from the inauguration of Lord Fiona. Unlike the previously diocre Lords, she truly brought stability and developnt to the city.
The city was expanded by a large number of construction-type Demon Statues, a plethora of new positions and Professions were opened to everyone, and so resources, which were once hard to co by, now had stable channels for purchase.
Others were refugees who had migrated here from other regions due to war, and in their descriptions, this city gave them the hope to survive.
And on every piece of Magic-guided chanical equipnt in the city, there was a special emblem: a dove with spreading wings.
Auswia recognized this emblem; it was the trademark of the chanical Factory under Anvis Olivendi, the fourth son of Duke Karlars.
After all, it was her sister’s territory, and Anvis, who was far away at Pamir Academy, heard that Fiona’s lands needed so chanical constructs, so he generously offered a fifty percent discount on all orders from the Star Domain.
Currently, Anvis’s chanical Factory has been expanded and upgraded multiple tis, enough to be ranked in the top ten in the entire Gloria Empire. So of its special chanical construction processes are even comparable to the top chanical Factories of the Federation.
In these days, with the Fourth Princess’s investigation, her anticipation for the upcoming eting grew stronger.
Finally, the day of the eting that the Fourth Princess had arranged with Fiona officially arrived.
