Chapter 7: Compensation and the Maid

Chapter 7 Compensation and the Maid

The one in charge of the merchant caravan is still an old acquaintance, Cord, the steward of the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce in charge of the northern border, no matter where he is, he keeps himself clean and tidy, treats people with courtesy and courtesy, and is full of gentlemanly, middle-aged handsome man.

The predecessor of the mother regardless of the marriage or a return to his mother’s home, are this middle-aged handsome man is responsible for transportation, obviously this time intends to come to the hard is also responsible for him, who let him door familiar, but this time how he did not expect, the original poor, weak, and helpless miserable teenagers actually did not say anything to support the prongs up, and they have become a vulnerable party.

In this case, the previous plan of house arrest, persuasion, annexation and other means obviously can not be used, just these soldiers will be able to take them all down.

Cord did not think that these soldiers were farmers in disguise, nor could they be hired, just the spirit of these soldiers and their obedience to Owen’s orders can be seen, now the master’s plan is over before it even started, Miss also miscalculated, the Hydra family obviously still have a hand.

“Young Master Owen, during this period of time, Madam has been worried about you, she specially ordered to bring three more layers of supplies this year than in previous years, and also asked me to send two maids serving the church to take care of your living.” Corde acted as if there was really such a thing, and said that Owen was on the verge of believing it.

However, Owen had no intention of tearing his face directly, this was just right, so he waved his hand, the soldiers instantly took two steps back, although the encirclement was not lifted, at least there was not that feeling of life and death anymore.

The guards and fellows secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Cord’s expression was equally relieved, but when he thought of what he had to pay, he laughed bitterly in his heart, this time he lost a lot of money.

Three more layers of supplies is nothing, with the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce’s reserves in the Northland, it can be replenished at any time, but to give two maidservants from the Church is the problem that makes his head spin.

The Church of Service is an extremely special church, the congregation to serve as faith, so other churches are nuns and priests, here are maids and housekeepers, and all have gone through extremely professional training.

Because of their belief in service and loyalty, the maids and butlers of the Church of Service, regardless of their abilities, once they recognize their masters, they will serve them for the rest of their lives, and even death can’t stop them, so they are very popular with the nobles, not to mention the butlers, and even the maids are in high demand.

Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce is to pay a small price, plus these two maids have some defects, only to have the opportunity to get, and this time sent to the border of the Northland is a great use, the problem is that now there is no more.

Although he was heartbroken, Cord knew that he had no choice, if he didn’t let this young master Owen be satisfied, no surprise, they would definitely have an accident.

Accidents in the Northland border are simply too normal, even the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce can’t find this young master’s head, so in the choice between losing all the money and stopping the loss in time, Cord didn’t hesitate to choose the latter.

“Don’t call me young master, right now I am Viscount Hydra.” Owen narrowed his eyes and stared at Coeur and said softly.

“I’m sorry, honorable Viscount Hydra, I’ll let them unload the goods.” Cord understood Owen’s meaning and hurriedly admitted his mistake and changed his words, and had the fellows unload the things off the carriage, as for how much to unload he couldn’t care less anymore.

“Very well, I miss my mother as well, here is my gift, hand it over to her personally.” Owen nodded and had the previously prepared court dresses brought in, they were women’s gowns, known for their ornate styling, except that commoners were not allowed to wear them, only noble ladies, and the mother of the predecessor had the qualifications.

Owen chose to send the court dress is not randomly selected, if the other party accepts, then on behalf of her still recognize their Hydra family this identity, the two sides have the basis for continued cooperation, if not, then Owen can only part-time robbers, give the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce a good lesson, so that they can see how wrong it is to mess with a traveler. Cod can be appointed by the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce, the mind and ability is naturally not bad, immediately guessed Owen’s meaning, and gladly accepted.

At the moment, seizing the Hydra family’s territory and knighthood was no longer realistic, at least there was no chance now, so it was better to maintain the status quo.

Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce initially cooperated with Haidera family because Haidera I played the name of the tiger of the Northland, can deter the surrounding nobles do not dare to easily to Haidera Chamber of Commerce’s caravan, so as to take the opportunity to develop the business of the border of the Northland.

In fact, this decision is correct, now Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce in the empire is nothing, but in the Northland border but already has a small influence, and many of the Northland nobles to reach a cooperative relationship, after all, the Northland border of the nobles have not yet developed to the degree of self-sufficiency, and has gradually understand that only by plundering can only be sustained for a while, only a good cooperative relationship, in order to obtain a constant flow of supplies, even if this needs to be pay for the wealth.

The problem is that there is no caravan, the money can not be spent, so the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce has developed very quickly over the years.

When the president of the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce, Bori, chose to marry his daughter is not to want to take over the Hydra family, but intends to deepen the relationship between the two sides, because the development of the Northland border business although he decided, at the same time, he is also the founder, but the Chamber of Commerce is not just him alone, so the internal people will not sit back and watch him swallow this part of the interests, and use this to take complete control of the Chamber of Commerce, because this is not in line with their interests.

Although Bori was the president, he couldn’t kick out all his collaborators, so the idea of marrying his daughter came up.

Northland border nobles are regarded as countryside mudbloods by the imperial nobles, but the nobility status is recognized by the empire, which is exactly Bori’s opportunity, after all, even if the imperial nobles are down and out, they will rarely marry a merchant’s daughter, and even if they do, they will put forward a lot of harsh conditions, which is far less than the Haidera family’s readiness.

Only later Hydra II died suddenly, inherited the title of Hydra III is too young, only to let Bo Rui up I on I also line of mind.

Now obviously does not work, who would have thought that the Hydra family even hid a hand, so it is better to choose to continue to cooperate, more or less can save some losses.

Corde is not the kind of person who can’t understand, but very decisive, think about it and immediately change the attitude, so that Owen can’t pick a fault.

After unloading things, the caravan left, although both sides have the intention to continue cooperation, but just almost did not fight, not to continue to stay time, not to mention that this matter Cord also have to go back to report, to see the president of the Hydra family’s attitude, in addition to the loss of this time need to be supplemented by the Chamber of Commerce, it seems that the next day to their own days to be difficult.

Cord couldn’t help but shake his head when he thought of this, hiring so many guards is a sum of money, the supplies that he didn’t intend to spend is a sum of money, and the two church maids that the Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of money to get are even more important to the Chamber of Commerce’s next development in the Northland.

Now these are gone, even if he is deeply trusted by the president, but the chamber of commerce is not the president’s alone, the next even if he will not be dismissed, I am afraid that the blame is inevitable, the worse is that the chamber of commerce will be seized by the opportunity to meddle in the north of the matter, which is the most people’s headache.
