Chapter 129 Love Is Selfish

Marquis Southgate is like a curious baby, full of endless curiosity about Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Now that he finally saw Xu Yi with his own eyes, countless questions arose.

Of course, relying on Xu Yi to answer these questions alone would not really satisfy him.

So he proposed to Xu Yi that he planned to stay here for a while to observe Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which naturally got Xu Yi's approval.

However, Princess Caroline never expected that the Marquis of Southgate would stay here for half a month, and had no intention of leaving at all.

If it is said that the previous week was because Seymour was still detained in the security station, and the Marquis Southgate could not leave him alone, then in the next more than a week, even if Seymour has repeatedly expressed Marquis Southgate still ignored the idea of ​​not wanting to stay in this place where he was humiliated, and continued to stay here entirely because of his personal wishes.

Xu Yi welcomed Marquis Southgate's idea of ​​staying here longer, but Princess Caroline was a little embarrassed.

Originally, she was only expected to come to the Principality of Standing, and then stay for three days, and then return to the Principality of Drake in no more than a week, but now because of the Marquis of Southgate, she is forced to stay here with her for half a day more than a month, far beyond the expected itinerary.

Princess Caroline is now mainly in charge of the magic industry in the Principality of Drake. There are many related affairs in the Principality that she needs to handle personally. If she continues to stay here, it will cause a lot of inconvenience.

But Marquis Southgate is a big shot from the Marlow Empire. Getting to know him is not only a very important opportunity for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It is equally important to the Principality of Drake.

It is impossible for the various household magic machines produced in the Principality of Drake to compete with Xinfei brand household magic machines. It is also difficult to compete with various brands of household magic machinery in the Lampari Kingdom, so it is necessary to open up the market.

Prior to this, the Principality of Drake was working towards the neighboring Kingdoms of Sark and Frank, and now that the Marlow Empire appeared before her eyes, Princess Caroline certainly hoped to seize this opportunity.

So without much consideration, Princess Caroline made a decision to stay here and accompany Marquis Southgate.

As for matters within the principality. Just leave it to the subordinates to deal with it for the time being.

What's more, even if there is no reason for Marquis Southgate, she is very willing to stay here.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the most important partner of the Principality of Drake. It is also beneficial to the Principality of Drake to have more contacts with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and strengthen their relationship with each other.

Even if all these factors are put aside, as far as Princess Caroline is concerned, staying here is a choice she is very willing to accept.

It's just that with this choice, she will always face a scene that makes her feel a little frustrated deep in her heart.

"Steele, this second child. You're supposed to hope he's a boy?" Princess Caroline asked, taking her hands off Steele's belly.

Both of them are now in Xu Yi's private estate. There is no one else around, but we can talk about some private topics.

Steele smiled slightly: "Well, Freya is a girl. It would be better if she had a boy. But Xu Yi has never cared much about this issue. I think he should like his daughter more."

"Lise and Linda both gave birth to a son for him." Princess Caroline glanced at Steele, with deep meaning in her eyes.

Although she didn't explain it, how could Steele not understand what she meant, chuckled lightly, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, if you want to continue to maintain a good image in front of Xu Yi, such words are the best Don't say it in front of him."

Princess Caroline didn't expect Steele to speak so bluntly, so she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then forced a smile: "Okay, I thought too much. Xu Yi is a rare good man. No problem for him. Steele, do you know how much I envy you?"

Steele smiled and spread his hands: "Your Highness, if you really envy me, I have no objection to your thoughts on Xu Yi."

Princess Caroline was stunned, and looked at Steele in disbelief, but she couldn't help being surprised to see that the smile on her face was not forced.

"Steel, I thought Xu Yi suddenly became fickle in the past two years because of himself. Now it seems that this has more to do with you?"

"You're right. If I hadn't encouraged or even forced him, he should still have only me as a woman."

"Then why did you do this? Don't you worry that he will be snatched away by other women?" Princess Caroline looked at Steele in wonder. "If it were me, I would only hope that I would always be alone in Xu Yi's arms."

"I thought so too at first, but after being with Xu Yi for so long, I no longer care as much about this kind of thing as before."

"Why? Could it be because you...don't love Xu Yi as much as before?" Princess Caroline asked hesitantly.

"No, I still love him. But it's different from before. Now I feel that since I love him, I should support him well. Although he has had several women in the past two years, whether it's Liz, Linda, or Yanis must combine with him due to various factors. If I object, it will cause harm to many people."

"But if you don't object, you're doing yourself a disservice. Steele, why are you so stupid?"

"I don't feel like I've been hurt?" Steele shook his head with a smile. "Because I know that Xu Yi always puts me first in his heart, and that's enough."

Princess Caroline looked at Steele quite speechlessly, and sighed after a while: "I can't understand your thoughts. In my opinion, love is selfish. If you don't want to monopolize the other party, it proves that Your previous love was not perfect."

"I am about to become a mother with two children, but you are still an unmarried girl, Your Royal Highness. Of course there will be differences in thinking. This is not surprising." Steele smiled. "Speaking of which, Your Royal Highness, are you still not considering getting married? People in the Duchy of Drake have been looking forward to your marriage for a long time?"

Princess Caroline rolled her eyes: "Except for Xu Yi, I don't think there is any man in my eyes."

"But with your current reputation in the Principality of Drake, you are very likely to inherit the position of Grand Duke in the future, so you have to get married?"

"Tch, isn't Her Majesty Queen Sevigny of the Lampari Kingdom not married yet, even though she has already given birth to a child..."

Having said that, Princess Caroline seemed to suddenly think of something. He gave Steele a strange look, paused, and stopped talking.

Steele glanced at her, but said nothing.

The two stared at each other silently for a while, Princess Caroline smiled awkwardly, looked around, and stood up.

"Okay, I should take my leave. The Marquis Southgate should have finished his visit to the shipyard. I'll go find him."

"No need, Lord Marquis is on board the Palatine right now. Set off for Hemi Port. If there are no accidents, he will come back tomorrow."

Xu Yi's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Princess Caroline turned her head in amazement: "What did he go to Heimi Port for? Do you want to go back directly from there?"

Xu Yi suddenly laughed: "Do you think Lord Marquis would be such a rude person? He left you here and ran home? He just wanted to experience the magic cargo ship sailing on the sea by himself, and take a look at what Heimi Port is like. It just works."

"Oh... this Lord Marquis is really very curious. I just experienced the racing car yesterday, and today I went to experience the boat again..."

Xu Yi laughed: "Yeah, many times I even feel that Lord Marquis is not like a middle-aged man who thought he was over fifty years old, but like a curious child. But this is a good thing, he is very interested in these things. The more interested something is, the higher the possibility that he will choose to cooperate with us."

"That's right. But Xu Yi, you have been in contact with Lord Marquis these days, has he revealed any thoughts to you?" Princess Caroline asked.

Xu Yi pointed to the chair on the suspended platform, motioned Princess Caroline to sit down, then sat down next to Steele, and replied: "According to the meaning revealed by Lord Marquis, after he returns to the Marlow Empire, Maybe let the Marlow Empire Agriculture Department purchase a batch of farmland magic machines and fertilizers from our chamber of commerce."

"Well, it's not surprising." Princess Caroline nodded.

The agricultural problem is the primary problem of any country on the Sainz continent, even the huge empire of the Maro Empire is no exception.

Before Xinfei Chamber of Commerce started its business by promoting farmland magic machinery in the Lampari Kingdom. Later, when it cooperated with any other neighboring country, the first cooperation project was to purchase farmland magic machinery.

So far, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has sold a total of more than 500,000 units of various types of farmland magic machines to neighboring countries, and the profits obtained from them have even exceeded 20 million gold coins.

At present, farmland magic machinery has been basically popularized in neighboring countries, and the market is becoming saturated. Only the Kingdom of Sark still has some room for development.

Now that the Maro Empire has popped up suddenly, it is naturally good news for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"Except for farmland magic machinery? It's impossible for him to be interested only in this aspect?" Princess Caroline asked.

"Of course. Lord Marquis' greatest interest is actually in various infrastructures. For example, he has always been very interested in automatic water supply systems and various engineering magic machines that can improve infrastructure. He revealed to me several times that he plans to return to the After the Maro Empire, he immediately started to carry out infrastructure transformation in the small towns in his territory. The first thing was to build roads and automatic water supply systems, and at the same time set up a city bus system. For this reason, he plans to buy a large number of medium-sized passenger magic locomotives from our chamber of commerce. And seek the cooperation of the Amrits Chamber of Commerce."

Princess Caroline frowned slightly, looking a little disappointed.

"Except for these? These are all related to magic machine tools. Does he have other ideas? For example, buy some household magic machines to take back?"

Xu Yi glanced at her with some amusement, and shook his head: "Master Marquis said that although household magic machinery is useful, it is far less important than infrastructure renovation, so he will not consider it for the time being."

"But these things can also improve people's lives! Don't people in the Maro Empire need them? Xu Yi, can't you take the initiative to sell them to Lord Marquis?"

"No, I have the same idea as the Marquis. The cooperation in household magic machinery should not be carried out between me and him. Otherwise, what is the difference between him and the ambassador of the Kandela Empire, Hakain?"

"But you also made a lot of money through Ambassador Hakain, didn't you? Besides, it was because of him that you entered the Candela Empire. Xu Yi, I don't understand your thoughts." Princess Caroline looked a little anxious.

The current magic industry in the Duchy of Drake is all focused on household magic machinery. If Marquis Southgate is really not interested in household magic machinery, then the efforts of Princess Caroline during this period will be almost in vain. .

"Don't worry." Xu Yi seemed to see through what Princess Caroline was thinking, and waved his hand with a smile. "Even if Lord Marquis is not interested in household magic machinery for the time being, it does not mean that he will still be uninterested in the future, and it does not mean that the entire Marlow Empire is not interested in this aspect."

"But……"

"You don't have to worry that your Principality of Drake won't benefit from it." Xu Yi smiled. "Caroline, I am very grateful that you brought these two special guests here, so as a thank you, I decided to start a new cooperation with your principality, which is about magic machine tools."

"Magic machine tool?"

Princess Caroline's big eyes instantly became extremely bright, and her expression became slightly excited. (To be continued..)
