Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Cat Who Holds a Grudge



Li Aili, being cautious, replied, "Emerald Valley."

"Emerald Valley of the Kingdom of Clark".

Upon hearing the name 'Clark', the ministers of the major imperial merchant guilds exchanged glances.

However, their thoughts were all exposed above their heads.

[Clark, the one who created the undead scourge!?]

Wait! She's Clark's newly crowned Duchess?!

[Hiss! Was I too cold when she walked in?]

[Damn it, I thought he was some country lord! Turns out he's a high-ranking nobleman from Clark!]

This is truly... a complete turn of events!

"Tch. Look at your pathetic state of mind, ha!"

I've received word that this Duchess title was His Majesty Arthur's 'breakup gift'.

Ha, so what if someone like that has a prestigious title?

She has no access to the kingdom's decision-making level; what valuable information could she possibly know?

Among the group of six, a beautiful lady was wearing a 'giant' bubble on her head.

It was very conspicuous in the room.

Li Aili glanced at it quickly and then looked away.

"My apologies, so you are 'Lady Emerald'." The black, long-haired winged cat rose from the handsome male servant's lap.

She lightly leaped to the ground, pattered over to the coffee table, and casually swept her large tail towards an empty single sofa.

"Please sit down."

The brown cat's eyes stared intently at Li Aili.

The black-winged cat turned back and instructed the male servant who had followed:

"Go and brew another pot of hot tea for Lady Emerald."

Brew a pot each of Xilin black tea, Earl Grey black tea, and that rare Shiber black tea.

Also, all the refreshments were from Tankar.

Li Aili had just sat down when she heard these words.

The difference in attitude before and after is truly like night and day.

Originally, when Li Aili heard that the person sitting here was the head of the six major imperial merchant guilds, her heart sank.

It should be noted that, in the eyes of high-ranking members of a chamber of commerce of this caliber, even members of collateral royal families from the six great empires have to curry favor with them.

The nobles of the small kingdom were, in their eyes, truly 'country lords'.

However, she only mentioned 'Emerald Valley of the Kingdom of Clark'.

I never expected that these people's attitudes would change so drastically.

Clearly, without her knowledge, another major event had occurred in the capital of the Kingdom of Clark.

Li Aili secretly felt a headache coming on.

On her way back, she needs to buy a few newspapers!

While Li Aili was still thinking, the black cat's handsome male servant had already brought out tea and snacks.

He knelt on one knee in front of Li Aili, smiled gently at her, his dark eyes seeming to have little hooks.

He was conveying wave after wave of deep affection to Li Aili.

Li Aili: "..."

The servant's action of placing the teacup was like a slow-motion scene.

He dawdled for a minute between the tray and the coffee table, a distance of 45 centimeters.

Li Aili: "..."

If she could, she really wanted to do the work he was doing for him!

Clearly, Li Aili wasn't the only one who thought this way.

The minotaur couldn't hold back any longer, so he reached out and snatched the plate, slamming it neatly onto the table with a 'clatter'.

The handsome male servant was completely dumbfounded.

Li Aili felt relieved.

Ba Jin gave the handsome male servant, who had just realized what was happening and was glaring at him angrily, a 'victor's smile'.

[Look at this, newbie! Now that's what professionalism looks like!]

However, the bubble on the servant's head was: 【Damn it! That stupid cow who ruined my plans!!!】

Li Aili: "..."

The black cat smoothly smoothed things over, saying, "It is a great honor to meet you, Madam Emerald. I am Trish, the president of the Denton Chamber of Commerce."

The black-winged cat named Trish glanced at her overly "ambitious" but utterly clueless male servant.

"His name is Jack. Are you satisfied with his service?"

However, some kittens look cute, but actually...

The cat has a bubble on its head: [If you like it, I'll immediately undress it and stuff it into your carriage.]

Li Aili: "..." There's absolutely no need for that!

She took a deep breath to keep her expression from cracking.

This damn world!

A cute kitten can be anything but cute; it could also be a shrewd old fox with a head full of useless ideas!

Li Aili waved her hand sadly, "I don't need it, thank you."

The cat president looked at the 'helpful servant,' who reluctantly got up and stood behind the cat president.

Li Aili finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The black cat sat on the coffee table. "May I ask what brings you to the Denton Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Aili frankly admitted, "In fact, my new territory is under construction."

"The development of any territory is inseparable from commerce."

"I would like to invite the Merchants' Guild to set up shop in my territory."

The black cat's wagging tail paused slightly.

A questioning bubble appeared above her head: [What? Just this? No way?]

The cat quickly replied in a sweet, clipped voice, "Even if you don't say anything, we will still send a merchant group to contact you."

Is there anything else you need?

Li Aili observed that these important figures in the chamber of commerce did not seem to realize that Emerald Valley was Campbell, whom they had blacklisted.

"In fact, I did have another purpose for this trip."

"That's right, before Emerald Valley became my fiefdom, it had another name..."

Everyone looked at Li Aili with curiosity.
