Shade originally planned to go to the study to see Margaret before she officially appeared. But Miss Sylvia stopped him and asked him to have some confidence in Margaret.
So, Shade continued chatting on the sofa with the two great witches and Miss Lassers. During this period, Miss Sylvia was also curious whether the badge on Shade's chest would directly change when the four great witches appeared together.
Burned his skin.
Shade responded based on the contents of Feliana's notes:
"The main function of this badge is just to detect whether there are witches around. For the witches of the fifth era, this is a supplementary method to enhance their own perception. Maybe there is a difference in heat between one witch and three witches around.
But when the number is more than three, there won’t be much difference.”
In other words, even if Shade wears this badge and enters the parliament one day to watch the witches meeting, his badge will not turn into flint.
The chat did not last long. When Margaret's personal maid first appeared at the top of the spiraling golden staircase at the end of the banquet hall, the noise in the banquet hall gradually subsided.
The band stopped playing, and all the people sitting there, including Shade and others, stood up.
The maid and the attendant opened the way, and Margaret soon walked down the stairs with Prince William. Shade was very familiar with the princess of the South, so he could see a little trouble in her expression.
Her brother, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Kingdom, had a proud expression and even preceded Margaret down the stairs.
There were three representatives of the Stonemasons Association, but Shade only knew President Pigman among them. Behind the representatives were lawyers wearing black formal suits. Margaret’s lawyer was the Marquis of Berkeley in the accompanying team.
The Masons' lawyers were hired locally from Randall Valley.
Although no one summoned them, people walked towards the stairs spontaneously. The noble old man with gray hair, the middle-aged nobleman with sharp eyes and meticulously combed hair, and the gorgeous lady with jewels and high heels, all raised their heads.
He looked at the descendants of this generation of the Anjou family.
The group of people walking down the stairs finally stopped on the large corner platform of the banquet hall in front of the stairs. The stairs that continued to go down were located on the left and right sides of the platform.
"It's an honor to invite everyone to this banquet today."
Margaret's voice was loud and calm, and Prince William stood beside her, with a very formulaic smile on his face. The local newspaper's camera had begun to flash, and Margaret looked at everyone below, but only
Shade stayed by his side for a moment:
"When the ribbon is cut at the shipyard next week, there will be an even grander banquet. In order to celebrate the expansion of the kingdom's naval power, I hope you can all be there. As for today."
She looked at President Pigman of the Stonemasons Association, who walked up to the princess knowingly, holding a document under his left arm:
"It is a great honor to accept the invitation from Their Royal Highnesses Margaret and William to attend this event."
"Perhaps everyone has heard about the conflict between the royal family and the Randall Valley Stonemasons Association. As all the local nobles and celebrities are here today, I want to announce something."
She paused, and her sharp eyes made it impossible for most people to look at her. Shade was not very familiar with Margaret in this state, but it must be admitted that even if she was so serious on this occasion, she could not look at her.
Still beautiful:
"After lengthy negotiations and mutual understanding, the safety incident of the royal mausoleum caused by the storm more than ten years ago has been officially reached a settlement today. The royal family will compensate for the arrears of the project payment and the interest calculated according to the bank interest.
and other losses caused by this, and the Masons' Association will continue the unfinished work that year and continue the contract with the royal family."
Prince William smiled and added that compared with the serious Margaret, he seemed much more relaxed, which was in sharp contrast to his sister:
"In addition, Margaret and I will fund the construction of a mason statue in Santa Maria Square in the center of the Randall Valley to commemorate this reconciliation. A stone tablet will be erected next to the statue to record the relationship between the royal family and Randall.
Thanks to the friendship of the Erval Valley Stonemasons Association, subsequent maintenance will be funded by the local council.”
"That's a good idea."
Shade whispered to Miss Benanis who was beside him, and the latter added in a low voice:
"This is inspired by the little princess statue you gave to the Northern Kingdom as a birthday gift."
The statue with a broken arm was photographed by reporters after the birthday party, and then published in Tobesk's newspaper. Because of Shade's relationship with Miss Carina, the gossip about the statue, the knight and the princess quickly spread.
The news spread to Kasenlik, so even the nobles of the Randall Valley knew about it.
After all, talking about tidbits about the princesses and grand duchess of neighboring countries is also one of the ways for nobles to show their status and improve their social style.
"At the same time, as a testimony of friendship, today I will donate this contract to the Masons. May our friendship last forever."
Margaret took the share contract belonging to Mr. Johnson Fleming, the founder of the Masons' Guild, from the maid behind her.
She showed it below, and then explained the contents of this ancient contract. Except for Shade and the witches, no one knew about this in advance, so it really aroused the surprise of the guests below.
"Finally, the royal family will also conduct further cooperation with the Randall Valley Masons Association."
Prince William smiled and said:
"We will work with the Stonemasons Association to jointly develop a large-scale mineral deposit. As for what that mineral deposit refers to, please allow me to keep it secret for the time being, but in more than a month, you will probably get the news."
Because news of gold mines has been circulating in the Randall Valley in recent months, most of the guests who were talking about it speculated on the gold mine. And the guests who were more informed, such as Earl Granger, knew that William
The prince is cooperating with Stone Oxenfurt to develop a silver mine off the coast, so it is speculated that the mineral deposit refers to a silver mine.
Shade whispered to Miss Sylvia, who had just arrived in Randall Valley:
"The silver mines outside the sea are a conspiracy of the devil. The Serkses Higher Medical School has even found out. This is a gold mine. The legend of the local gold mine is true."
Miss Sylvia asked while applauding:
"I heard Vanessa talk about the first time you went to the Black Night Temple. But although the mineral vein is near the Black Night Temple, hasn't it been found yet?"
"But the high probability does exist, so it counts as a bargaining chip."
At this time, the applause had already flooded the banquet hall. Margaret stretched out her gloved hand and shook it with President Pigman of the Stonemasons Association. The smoke from the magnesium powder flashlight even made the banquet hall look foggy.
Misty.
"Margaret decided to cooperate with the local church to find gold mines after the incident in the Randall Valley is over. At that time, the royal family, the local church and the Stonemasons Guild will each hold a share."
Miss Benanis looked at Shade with some concern:
"I know that we found the gold mine. Especially the cube in your hand played a decisive role. The gold mine should belong to you. Therefore, Margaret will take out 15% of the shares and give it to you.
Eight percent, give me seven percent. She just said she wanted to apologize to you. This decision was only made yesterday and she hasn’t had time to tell you yet."
"It doesn't matter. I don't contribute any capital or anyone else. It's good enough to get 8% of the shares for nothing."
Shade said, and Miss Sylvia continued:
"From what I know about Margaret, she will compensate you with other things."
When she said this, Miss Lassus and Miss Benenice both looked over. Miss Sylvia thought for a moment and turned slightly red:
"What are you thinking? She also has some property of her own. It is not difficult to get some fixed assets that can make money for Shade. As for Vanessa, if a gold mine is really discovered by then, you will only have 7%.
.”
"It doesn't matter, I didn't do anything, this money fell from the sky. Can you pay me directly in gold? I prefer gold."
The witch joked amidst the applause.
"But speaking of it, in addition to Princess Margaret's own efforts and mediation, Shade also played a lot of roles in these matters."
The four of them looked up at Margaret, who was signing the agreement, and Miss Lassers said softly:
"Statues, ancient documents, and gold mines. These three things are all related to Sha De, but for Sha De, they are just things that can be done, but they can also not be done. The three things have given different kinds of help to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
This led to an almost perfect ending for this matter.”
"All optional tasks are required."
The outsider muttered words in his heart that only he could understand, and watched Margaret put down her pen in a dress, and under the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, she revealed her perseverance, high spirits, and even a little arrogance in her eyes:
"She is so beautiful."
Shade whispered in admiration, but his voice was suppressed by people's loud conversations and applause.
"It's not just beauty."
Miss Sylvia heard this and sighed:
"In palace politics, what happened tonight is of great significance. Margaret took the initiative to represent the royal family and resolved a major matter related to the dignity of the royal family without the king's decision. King Lion Lion
'Since there is no objection and support is provided, this will be interpreted differently in the eyes of many people."
"This apprentice of mine does seem to have quite a lot of ambition."
The blonde witch also said, raising her head slightly to look at the princess above, with a bit of arrogance in her tone:
"But it's also more fun."
Miss Lassers chuckled:
"Vanessa, have you finally found new fun?"
Three gorgeous ladies stood together, and the spotlight seemed to shine directly on them. Shade held the wine glass and looked at Margaret beside them. Tonight may be a very important day in the life of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
But for witches, maybe it's just a little different.
