Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Acute (2)

Everyone was shocked to hear what Sidney had said.

Grandpa Franklin looked sharply. King Landen heaved a heavy sigh. Lark looked at Louisa, Louisa was silent.

Everyone present whispered to each other.

"Sorry brother Sidney, what do you mean by your word?" ask King Landen

"Your Majesty, for many years we have been part of Gordon's kingdom. Why is it that once we're free of Gordon and stand alone, we're still putting a very important mine in Gordon's hands. I do not agree with that Your Majesty" he said boldly.

King Landen looked at Louisa.

"Uncle Sidney, the mining project of the village of Tov had nothing to do with Gordon's royal government. It's just that, for the project holder I invited someone who I know is very competent in the field of mining. It just so happens that she's from Gordon" Louisa explained.

"Lord Princess. I know you have made a lot of decisions in this kingdom. Not to appreciate His Majesty the King. I suspect you may have intended to take the king's throne for your son"

Hearing that, everyone became angry. Looked hard at Sidney. Louisa stood up from her seat.

"What do you mean you say that?"

"Don't be your holy-assist, Princess. I know for mining you get ten percent of the profit for yourself. Isn't that outrageous. If so far the crown prince has traveled to many other kingdoms using royal cash, we as the Valley extended family are still familiar. But you traveled around the kingdom using royal cash, I as one of the Valley families objected to it"

"What!" louisa asked in surprise.

King Landen opened his mouth and did not believe Sidney's words. Lark held back his laughter.

He looked at everyone present with arrogance, as if he would know everything.

"Puteri Lorine, has a lot of guards. And their wages are not small. But his own confidants none came from the Valley of the Wind. And the royal treasury money we collected with great difficulty was used to pay their wages."

But Sidney doesn't seem to see much response. Or he catches everyone's shock in a different way.

"So what does Sidney's brother mean? The mine was handed over to the brothers?" louisa asked to call Sidney without calling her uncle again.

"I'm sure I can manage that mine better. And give greater advantage to the government"

"How much profit can you promise the kingdom?"

"Fifty-five percent"

"What about the initial capital of the construction of the mine, are you the one who tackled or the government?"

"Of course the royal side"

"If the kingdom can not provide initial capital, what percentage of the kingdom's profit?"

"Fourty five percent"

"Minister Mark, the Helm's mountain project leave it to Sidney's brother. Make the exact same cooperation agreement letter that was made with Climb's brother. And all the brothers who bear witness to what Sidney's brother has said."

"Good Princess"

"Why did Princess Lorine decide? Shouldn't His Majesty be the King?"

"Your Majesty, I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry, excuse me first" Louisa said and left the meeting room.

As soon as Louisa walked out of the meeting room, Grandpa Franklin burst into laughter. And so is Lark.

"Brother Sidney." said the Landen king in a heavy voice. There is clearly anger in it.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"Are you aware of what you're talking about?"

"..."

"It was supposed to be a Valley family gathering. What we're talking about, is related to the Valley family problem. As for the government, it has nothing to do directly with the Valley family. But if you want to discuss some things, then we will discuss one by one"

"First about Tov village mine. The idea of the project came from Princess Lorine. It was the son who found the mine, and proposed it to me."

"I personally do not know about mining, so I leave it to Lorine who has first plunged in the field of mining"

"About profit sharing we have discussed together. And I've agreed on that, and you pour it in the cooperation agreement."

"Regarding the ten percent that Lorine was part of, it was because he was the one who gave the initial capital of the project of two hundred thousand gold coins. The amount the kingdom cannot give."

"But Your Majesty, it could be that the amount has been added or parked up" Sidney said.

"They asked for only a hundred thousand gold coins of Sidney's brother. But even that we can't give. So don't it with something we don't have."

"Secondly, your accusation about Princess Lorine wanting to usurp the royal throne for her son. Looks like you forgot who took the trouble to set up the Valley of the Wind kingdom back. Even now if Princess Lorine wants the throne, I will hand it over. It was he who persuaded me to be king"

"Regarding Lorine's journey around the royal territory, never a penny had he ever used royal cash. If you don't believe me, you can ask for a spending record from minister Will Donzen"

"About the mine you want, please submit your Mark proposal entry. We'll see how great the ability that you vanggajan is"

"Last, about Lorine's bodyguards. That's none of your business. The salary of his bodyguard, it was Lorine's own responsibility. Although his guards helped the kingdom a lot, they never received any wages from the kingdom. About this, I thought only Margaret's sister-in-law could explain" King Landen said.

Margaret stands. He was actually trying to contain his anger. Really he did not accept when the Princess was accused of doing something bad.

"Sidney's sister, why do you think so badly of my daughter? As he devoted all his strength to the advancement of the Wind Valley kingdom. Don't you think, with his wealth, he just sits back and takes care of his son?"

"Sorry brother-in-law, but I didn't mean anything bad about that"

"I just go straight to his core. The wage of a fifth layer Lorine's men per year was one thousand two hundred gold coins. Of course for the first four to the first layer is even bigger than that. According to Sidney's brother could be the Valley kingdom

Wind pay? And as for his personal bodyguards, their wages were no less than five thousand gold coins per year"

"What!!" there was a surprised voice from everyone present. Even the Landen King alone did not expect that the wages of the five Lorine men could be that big.

"And that's only half of it" Margaret added, making those who heard her almost in disbelief.

"Where else is aunt?" ask Lark.

"From the Bruswick family. That was the reason why Lorine's personal bodyguard was not from the Wind Valley kingdom. Because they're all from a family of hereditary Bruswick bodyguards."

"And the matter of mining that you doubt about my daughter's ability, you need to know, in Gordon's own kingdom my daughter has two private mines that have no connection whatsoever with Gordon's kingdom. This means that Gordon's palace only gets annual tax payments without profit sharing" Margaret explained firmly.

Sidney was surprised. Margaret's statement really opened her eyes wide. He thought, if all this time Lorine's life was still financed by Gordon's palace.
