Since that night, the officials and maids in the lord's mansion noticed that the chief maid's attitude towards the lord's adjutant had changed slightly.
She no longer snitched to Fiona, but began to secretly pay attention to what Anvis was doing and speculate on his purpose.
Although it seemed that he had benefited from Boley's words, in Anne's eyes, Levin Boley's complete trust in Fiona's state was very dangerous.
Adjutant Boli has too much power. If he wants to, he can easily make many important arrangements without Fiona knowing about it.
If this continues for a long time, if the other party really rebels, arranges some secret agents in the territory, and then cooperates internally and externally to attack the eldest lady, then everything will be irreversible.
Even if Fiona didn't care, she didn't dare to completely let down her guard.
Avis was very aware of Anne's intentional or unintentional surveillance, but he didn't mind at all.
He even went out of his way to make some of his actions more obvious to prevent Anne from noticing.
As Fiona's personal maid, Anne is indeed loyal enough, but she is not very bright, which is not a good thing.
Although it was Anne who was monitoring her on the surface, Anvis was actually allowing her to monitor her, subtly allowing her to learn more details about the management of the territory.
In this way, if he leaves for some reason one day in the future, Anne can immediately take up this position.
It is much more efficient to let Anne monitor him than to force her to learn from him. After all, she needs to actively think and analyze the meaning of his various actions, and her subjective initiative is completely different.
.….….
While Anvis was preparing for the meeting with the fourth princess, the fourth princess he was waiting for, Osvia, had already secretly arrived at Herring Gull City with her subordinates after concealing her appearance.
Although the letter stated that she would come to the Star Territory to meet with Fiona in seven days, in fact, she planned to take a look at the Star Territory in advance from the perspective of an ordinary traveler. What is the real situation in the Star Territory, which has a unique governance method in the intelligence?
What does it look like.
After entering the city, what greeted the fourth princess and her party was a completely different style from other cities in the Gloria Empire.
It was an obviously different feeling. If other cities were like old-fashioned and serious middle-aged people, then the expanded Herring Gull City was like a vibrant youth, full of extraordinary vitality.
The interior of the city is extremely clean. The spacious white stone streets have obvious signs of being reinforced by magic. Some golems are cleaning up the environment on the streets to keep the city clean at all times.
Vehicles of all kinds are constantly passing by in the middle of the road, providing transportation services to those in need. Slower horse-drawn carriages are driving on the carriage lanes on the side, with clear layers.
On both sides of the road, people of different costumes and races walk on the sidewalks on both sides of the road.
Imperials, Gaoya people, feathered people, orcs, elves, dwarves...people of many rare races can be seen here, and pedestrians seem to have become accustomed to it.
"It's amazing, I remember this city, it was nothing like this before this legendary Fiona took over.
Perhaps she was influenced and inspired by the Federation during the process of being taken away? If so, then she should have a lot in common with those reformists."
Muttering to herself, the fourth princess looked at the passers-by.
In their faces, she saw a rare thing called hope.
"It's really interesting. I'm looking forward to this meeting seven days from now. Maybe... I can get some unexpected surprises?"
Observing the operation of the city carefully, the fourth princess also tried riding a constructed vehicle and found that the price was not high, and could even be said to be surprisingly low.
The cheapest large passenger vehicle only costs one or two copper coins per ride. Even if it only travels in a specific circular trajectory and only stops at certain fixed directions, its huge advantages cannot be concealed.
After all, the major cities in the Yar continent are still dominated by ordinary people and apprentice-level professionals. They need to get up early every morning and go to work in various places in the city.
These vehicles can save them a lot of time and energy on the road, allowing them to arrive at their jobs with a fuller attitude and give full play to their light and heat.
The most important thing is that the existence of multiple constructed train lines connects Herring Gull City to several nearby cities. You can even see that it is being built outside the city and is expected to be connected to other large cities in the Kalras Province.
Connected tracks.
This has greatly increased the mobility between several cities. Even an ordinary person can be sent to Black Rock City to handle work in the morning and return to Herring Gull City for lunch at noon.
Osvia also noticed a detail. The number of strangers here was obviously larger than most other cities of the same size in the empire, and they all behaved relatively normally.
This in itself is not normal.
Keeping this in mind, the fourth princess planned to ask Fiona directly about the matter afterwards.
In the next few days, the princess and her party simply stayed in Herring Gull City. During this period, she also asked some residents of the city about the changes in the city.
Some people were the original aborigines, and they told the princess that all changes came from the appointment of Lord Fiona. Unlike the previous lords who did nothing, she truly brought stability and development to the city.
The city has been expanded by a large number of engineering construction golems. A large number of new positions and professions are open to everyone. Some resources that were originally difficult to see now have stable purchase channels.
Others are people who migrated here from other places due to war and other reasons. In their descriptions, this city gave them hope of survival.
And all the magical structures in this city bear a special symbol: a dove with its wings spread.
Osvia recognized this emblem. It was the trademark of the construction factory owned by Anvis Olivendi, the fourth son of Duke Karlas.
After all, it was his sister's territory. Anvis, who was far away in Pamir College, 'heard' that Fiona's territory needed some construction, so with a wave of his hand, he gave a 50% discount on all orders from the Star Territory.
At present, Avis's construction factory has been expanded and upgraded many times, and its scale is enough to rank among the top ten in the entire Gloria Empire. And some of the special construction processes are as advanced as those of the top-level ones in the Federation.
Build factory.
In the past few days, as the fourth princess investigated, she became more and more looking forward to the upcoming meeting.
Finally, the meeting date agreed between the fourth princess and Fiona officially arrived.
