The advantage of living in Victor's castle was that they didn't need to worry about being robbed while they were singing and eating hotpot...
After Baron Twain, no, it should be Earl Twain, tasted the hotpot that he had not tasted in a long time, his entire being seemed to have sublimated. Even his initial thoughts of tormenting Night Song had changed.
However, he didn't know that in the eyes of Victor and Olina, Tang En was torturing Night Song at this moment.
"Hey! Open your mouth! Don't be so shameless! "
Tang En picked up a large piece of red chili with a sinister smile, "Otherwise, I will do it!"
Olina opened her mouth as she couldn't bear to see her daughter being tortured like this. However, Victor stopped her once again!
As Tang En hadn't introduced Night Song to Victor and Olina, Victor and Olina had to continue to pretend that they didn't know Night Song.
'Calm down!
We're the king and the queen!
How was it possible for her to know a stealthy Thief?
A little impatience spoils great plans! '
'Night Song's identity can never be exposed! '
If the nobles knew that Night Song, who had been eyeing their treasury every day, was actually the incarnation of Princess Aurelia, the most honorable princess of the empire, what would they think? What would others think?
They would turn the world upside down immediately! '
Victor was also very helpless. If he hadn't let Aurelia contact that woman, she would not have chosen this path and he would not have to rely so much on the intelligence and wealth brought by Aurelia.
'Bear it!
I'll bear it!
I'll bear it! '
Night Song ate the chili with tears in her eyes. At this moment, her red lips seemed to be on fire while her whole face was numb.
Although Olina felt sorry for her daughter, she had also thought it through. Therefore, she simply stopped looking at it. Out of sight, out of mind...
"Lord, how about letting me do it?"
Seeing Night Song being so "intimate" with Tang En, Fiona was very jealous. Even she had not enjoyed being fed by Tang En!
She thought that she was very happy, but how could she know that Ye Ge was on the verge of collapse?
She, who had never eaten chili before, felt like she was on fire from the inside out. No matter what Tang En fed her, he would always bring along a piece of chili!
Of course, if it were Fiona, she would probably say that she would be happy no matter what Tang En fed her …
"Let me do it."
Tina raised her hand weakly and said, "I'm going to forget how to serve people if I don't do something."
Ever since Tang En specifically asked Tina to study under Fiona, she rarely had the time to serve Tang En. The "plum job" of cleaning and washing clothes for Tang En had also fallen to Ellington's number one broadcaster, Marlene …
"Alright!"
Coincidentally, Tang En had something to discuss with Victor and the rest so he sent Night Song to Tina and said while pouting, "It's your honor to be able to enjoy the service of my head maid!"
Pfft!
Night Song wanted to spit chili at Tang En's face. How could a mere head maid of Ellington be compared to a royal maid in the palace castle?!
When Tina, who was smiling, approached Night Song, she sniffed lightly …
This smell … It was indeed Her Highness the Princess!
Although Night Song's smell was very faint, it could not escape her nose. That smell was exactly the same as Princess Aurelia's!
Tina was very sure of this!
After understanding this point, Tina became inexplicably excited.
God!
That was Her Highness the Princess!
She actually transformed into the bandit Night Song?!
And she was treated like that by the Feudal Lord!
This, this, this is probably a capital offense!
Tina's natural worship of the Feudal Lord almost made her kneel on the ground to apologize to the Feudal Lord. However, she came to her senses in the next moment.
No!
If she was Her Highness the Princess, why didn't she reveal her identity in front of His Majesty and the rest? His Majesty and the rest did not say anything!
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Tina's mind and she finally came to a conclusion. They did not want to reveal that Night Song was Aurelia!
Why?
With Tina's experience, she could not understand the knack behind this. However, there was one thing that was right. Tina did not want to reveal her identity at this moment.
Why did she have to reveal it?
If the Feudal Lord knew that Night Song was Princess Aurelia, he would definitely not dare to bully her like this.
If he did not bully her, he would please her. After all, she was Her Highness the Princess.
This way, there would be one more girl that the Feudal Lord cared about and she would be remembered less by him … No way!
Rather than that, it would be better to continue pretending to be ignorant and treat her as a pure bandit Night Song!
This way, as long as she did not want to reveal her identity, she could only endure any grievances!
It would be best if she hated the Feudal Lord because of this and never came to bother him again …
Tina thought angrily. However, after thinking about it again, she was a little worried. After all, she was Her Highness the Princess. If the Feudal Lord went overboard and she helped to bully him, she would really hate the Feudal Lord. What would happen if she delayed the Feudal Lord's future development?
Hmm … Since the Feudal Lord was already the bad guy, then according to the Feudal Lord's theory of good guys and bad guys, should she play the role of the good guy now?
Yes!
Under the situation where she pretended not to know, she would talk about how the Feudal Lord praised Princess Aurelia, how he admired her, and how good and kind the Feudal Lord was to his people!
After thinking about this, Tina knew what she should do.
"Please sit quietly. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can tell me. Although I can't untie the belt, I can give you a massage."
Tina placed Night Song on the seat. The smiling Tina made Night Song relax a lot. Although her limbs and body were still tied up under her clothes, it was better to have a girl take care of her than a man, right?
Especially Tina's gentle voice, it made Night Song's whole body relax. She was so touched that she wanted to cry.
"What do you want to eat? I'll prepare it for you. "
"Drink some water first … Thank you."
Tina picked up the plate and said softly, "Please don't blame the Feudal Lord. He's actually a very kind person. However, he usually hates it when people steal things. That's why he's so sensitive about your identity …"
Night Song was stunned. Is that so?
"Of course, in Ellington, stealing is a serious crime."
Tina said seriously as she picked up the food. "The Feudal Lord believes that stealing without sowing is the root of all evil. Stealing needles when you're young, stealing gold when you're old. It will also breed the idea of getting something without sowing. Therefore, in Ellington, once someone is found to have stolen, and after a lot of investigation and evidence, they will be sent to the mine for forced labor. If they commit the same crime again, they will be temporarily demoted to the status of a slave. If they don't repent, they will be a slave for life."
Night Song's face was filled with disbelief. "But what if someone falsely accuses someone in order to frame someone?"
"That's why there will be a lot of investigation and evidence. If you don't want people to know, don't do it. If the guards can't find out, the Feudal Lord will do it himself."
"But stealing isn't the intention of people, right? If they can't survive, everyone will take the risk. "
"That's why the first discovery is only a reform through labor. On one hand, it's a punishment. On the other hand, it's also to give them a chance to work and live. Besides, our Ellington's welfare policy is very good. As long as they are willing to work, it's impossible for them not to earn money. If they still steal under such circumstances, it's just being greedy. The Feudal Lord said that this is a bad trend. It can't be allowed to grow. It must be killed when it's still in its infancy. "
Night Song was silent. Just from Hilton and Tina's description, he had come to a general conclusion. The current Ellington was no longer the Ellington of the past.
That barren territory was thriving under the leadership of Tang En. It was quietly changing itself. It had already surpassed many towns without anyone noticing …
That man was really strong … Bah!
Night Song came back to his senses. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't change the humiliation he gave him!
This humiliation, he would repay him sooner or later!
"The Feudal Lord also said that in the entire Empire, I'm afraid only the Saintess Eluri and Her Highness Princess Aurelia can understand his good intentions because only they understand the greatness of kindness."
Tina flattered him neither lightly nor heavily. Night Song's furrowed brows immediately relaxed a lot.
Hmph! At least this guy has good taste! He knows how good I am!
While Tina was playing mind games with Night Song here, on the other side, Tang En and Victor also began to drink and discuss.
"Earl Tang En, I really want to make money, but I still don't understand how making money has anything to do with this patent you mentioned …"
Victor didn't drink white wine, but he was still confused.
Tang En immediately asked him if he wanted to do a long-term business. Moreover, it was a business that didn't cost anything. It was a steady profit with no loss.
What would Victor say? Of course, he would be happy to hear about it!
However, following Tang En's description, he was a little confused.
"Like I said, the patent holder pays a certain amount of income to the country, and the country protects the rights of the patent holder. If there is a power dispute, the country needs to be responsible for protecting the rights. The country can also take a share of the compensation caused by the infringement."
Tang En explained patiently, "From the perspective of the country, if you want to make money, you don't have to exploit the people. You can also increase your income by providing services that protect the interests of the people and collecting corresponding fees at the same time. Of course, this part of the income may not be much, but at least it will make up for some of the deficit, right?"
He thought of this because he saw the appearance of counterfeit mint candy in the market. On one hand, it meant that people had begun to notice the way the Datang Chamber of Commerce made money and had begun to imitate it. On the other hand, it also meant that there would be imitations of other things soon. When that time came, the Datang Chamber of Commerce's advantage would probably only be the advantage of being a first-mover brand.
Counterfeiting could certainly allow the corresponding industry to start quickly, but it would also stifle the spirit of innovation. After those people spent a huge amount of money to hire wild mages, they wouldn't use their brains to think of other ideas. They would only follow the path that Tang En had taken …
This kind of counterfeiting was not what Tang En wanted to see. He didn't want to see another counterfeiting magnate in Prandal.
What he wanted to see was the natives of Prandal blossoming with sparks of thought under his inspiration. The application of magic energy would continue to be creative and innovative patents would appear like a geyser. Only then could it be called a real magical civilization.
