"To the beautiful Miss Verna …"
"By the time you receive this letter, I'm sure I'll be on my way back …
"Because of some reasons, I have to go back to my hometown to see my father. As such, I have to temporarily leave this place.
"Leaving for a long time … before I knew it, I had already been in the Kutu Royal City for a year.
"In this one year, I've met many people. Some of them are honest and reliable, and some are very interesting. They are all good friends … In the days when I left my hometown, they gave me new joy, calmed my heart, and allowed me to continue moving forward …"
"It's just that I'm the happiest about meeting you …"
Verna's hand holding the letter trembled, and her heart thumped as she hurriedly continued to read.
"I've only known you for a short period of time, and we've only met a few times. However, every time we meet, my heart is filled with anticipation and joy … I don't know if it's the same for you, but I can't control my emotions …"
"In my hometown, I once heard that the white horse in the distant plains would always meet his Knight. It's like how fresh flowers always go with girls; it's so fitting …
"I hope that in the future, every day from now on, I will be able to meet you and see your appearance …"
.....
Sitting on the bed, Verna read the letter in her hands many times, and her heart unknowingly started to race.
"Is this expressing his feelings?"
Sitting on the bed, she could not help but think to herself. Her face was incredibly red as if she was drunk.
Sitting there, she couldn't help but move around, unable to restrain her emotions.
At that moment, she felt an urge to go out and find her Knight. She wanted to tell him that she also looked forward to his return and wanted to be with him every day.
However, looking at the tightly shut door, she lowered her head in disappointment.
Some time ago, she had been grounded by Olivia.
Before, he had been able to occasionally go out and meet with Chen Heng in a manor.
However, recently, for some reason, Olivia had become quite busy, and she had become stricter with her. She was not allowed to go out anymore.
No matter how much she begged, it wouldn't work.
Thinking about how serious Olivia had been recently, Verna could not help but inwardly sigh before looking forward to what was to come.
After this period of time passed and big sister Olivia finished dealing with her matters, Knight Kaelin would most likely return.
At that time, they could meet again …
Looking at the letter in her hand, she could not help but anticipate Chen Heng's return.
In the end, she couldn't help but get up, pick up a pen and paper, and start writing.
The other side.
Within the palace, Olivia sat within, taking care of various matters.
Recently, she felt like she was under a lot of pressure.
All sorts of things came one after another, exploding within a short period of time.
Complementing her younger brother, Gris's actions made her even more anxious during this period of time, and she was busy dealing with all kinds of things.
"Your Highness …"
A servant in a black robe stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Is it because Verna wants to go out again?"
Olivia rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
During this period of time, her little sister had been throwing a tantrum, using all sorts of methods to go out, making her feel quite annoyed.
Now that the servant had walked over, she instinctively thought that Verna was throwing a tantrum again.
However, to her surprise, the maid before her shook her head.
"No."
The female servant said respectfully, "Her Highness Verna does not want to go out; she just wants to send someone to deliver a letter."
"Just a letter?"
Olivia felt quite surprised, but she still nodded, "That's not a big deal; if she wants to send it, then send it.
However, Kaelin has most likely returned to his father's territory by now. It will take some years for this letter to be sent out. "
She smiled and thought for a moment before speaking again, "Oh right, that Kaelin, what has he been doing recently?"
Has there been any news from the south? "
"Knight Kaelin should be quite busy right now."
The female servant thought about it before telling her what she knew.
"The merchant alliance? North-South trade? "
Olivia listened as she dealt with the documents in her hands.
At first, she did not pay much attention, but soon, she paused and put down what she was doing, her expression becoming more and more serious.
"Bring me all of the relevant information."
In the end, her expression became serious as she spoke.
Moments later, all of the relevant information was brought over.
Everything that Chen Heng had done before was recorded in great detail.
Ordinary people naturally wouldn't receive so much attention, and the relevant information was collected in such detail.
However, as Chen Heng was a quasi-Knight-level Knight who might awaken a Life Seed and had a close relationship with Verna, Olivia had ordered her to collect information on him.
Now, this information was put to good use.
Olivia finished reading the pile of records in front of her.
The more she read, the more serious her expression became.
"Incredible, incredible …"
She put down the documents in her hands and sat there as she muttered, "Why didn't I think of this before?"
Moving the northern side's abundant slaves and furs to the south and then moving the southern side's surplus food to the north was a very simple method. If one could do this, they would be able to obtain massive profits.
However, such a profitable path had never been taken by anyone in the past.
On one hand, this was because their thinking was limited.
Even though this world had powerful existences like Knights, they were quite backward in many areas.
Even though these lords were called nobles, their way of thinking was very limited. They only knew how to plunder the people in their own territory. Even if they looked out into the outside world, most of them were thinking about plundering other people's land. Very few of them thought about economic development and profit.
This was just like Chen Heng's father, Baron Kaisen.
Before Chen Heng, the most economic activity in Baron Kaisen's territory was exchanging goods with merchant groups. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
In his territory, everyone was only allowed to grow wheat and other food crops; anyone who disobeyed would be hanged to death.
Under such circumstances, there was naturally no need to hope to develop crops or produce anything.
This was most likely the same for the other rulers.
Apart from thinking, the restrictions on their paths were also quite severe.
The Kutu Principality did not have a single territory, and from the south to the north, one had to pass through many rulers' territories.
Each ruler had the right to collect taxes, and it was possible for disputes to arise.
The risks involved were also quite great.
Adding on how chaotic the world was and how there were bandits in the outside world, this made the risks even greater.
Even if they could overcome these problems, the northern rulers' xenophobia was also an important problem.
Due to all of this...
It was because there were so many difficulties that no one had done this in the past.
In just an instant, Olivia could imagine all of the problems that Chen Heng would face.
What shocked her was that despite facing so many difficulties, Chen Heng was able to overcome them and complete these things.
"How did he do it?"
At that moment, Olivia could not help but think to herself, and she became even more interested in Chen Heng.
Before, she had only seen Chen Heng as a Baron's child, a student of Corripo, as well as a Knight who might awaken a Life Seed in the future.
However, she had never thought that apart from this glory and status, Chen Heng's abilities would also be so outstanding.
At that moment, Olivia could not help but feel great interest towards Chen Heng.
