Chapter 667 Warning
Anvis was familiar with the governance of the Star Territory. This was the experience he gained from the Player City he had previously created as an experiment.
Moreover, he does not need to handle many things personally, as the original officials of several cities will filter out many trivial matters.
What Anvis has to do is to deal with those problems that the lower-level officials have no power to deal with or cannot deal with, and give the most important parts of them to the girl for review.
The super thinking speed of an eighth-level professional is enough for him to easily handle a large number of daily affairs in the territory.
However, there are always some things that Fiona, as the lord, must deal with personally. . ….…. "Her Highness the Fourth Princess wishes to meet with me?"
In the bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion, Fiona, wearing a comfortable light blue casual dress, sat on the edge of the bed with a kitten on her head. She took the letter presented to her on a silver plate by Avis with some doubt.
After opening the envelope, a light and elegant fragrance wafted out. The edges of the letter were decorated with simple silver vine patterns, and the center was etched with lines of beautiful handwriting using magic. In the letter, the fourth princess congratulated Fiona on her successful escape and return to the Olivendi family, and praised the girl for being an excellent lord.
At the end of the letter, the Fourth Princess stated that at noon seven days later, she would come to the Star Territory in person to meet the girl and discuss with Fiona face to face how to govern the territory.
"…Mr. Boli, what do you think about this matter?"
Looking at the signature of Osvia Augustine at the end of the letter and the magic emblem representing her identity, Fiona sighed and called Avis's pseudonym somewhat uncomfortably.
Although she had often needed to meet with some people since she became the lord, this was the first time that a royal member like the Fourth Princess had requested a meeting.
After all, the current relationship between the imperial family and the four major families is somewhat delicate. Coupled with some security considerations, the previous communication between the royal family and the Star Territory was at most limited to letters.
"I think you should make some preparations in advance, my lord."
Wearing a neat black and white suit, Avis provided the girl with reference and advice in a very formal manner, revealing the appearance of a rigid and serious professional governor.
"The Fourth Princess is a princess who truly holds power. According to our information, the Order of the Rose, one of the three major knight orders in the empire, has been secretly controlled by her. Her power is currently second only to that of the First Prince, who has the Order of the Dawn following him.
At the same time, her current strength is close to the limit of the eighth level, and there is a good chance that she will be able to break through the ninth level in the future. Gaining her kindness will be very helpful for your future development."
"But the relationship between my family and the royal family is not good. With my status, is it okay for me to meet the princess of the royal family?"
Listening to Avis's words, Fiona nodded while supporting Kate on the top of her head. She felt that it made sense, but at the same time she also raised her own questions.
After all, she is from the Olivendi family. Would it be inappropriate for her to meet with the royal princess in private? "Don't worry, Lord. Didn't the heads of the three empires hold a meeting together before? Compared with the bloody war history between the three empires, what is the friction between us and the royal family?"
Avis waved his hand and explained for the girl.
However, there is one thing that Anvis did not mention, which is that during her meeting with the Fourth Princess, she is likely to attract some enemy attacks, which will be a good opportunity for the Ninth Order who are waiting to see what happens to them to make some progress.
"Of course, you are the Lord of Xingchen Territory. Whether or not you choose to meet her in the end is entirely up to you. If you really don't want to meet the Fourth Princess, we can also arrange for you to decline the meeting."
"No need. Lord Boli, please prepare for my meeting with Her Highness Osvia. If there is anything you need me to handle, you can tell me directly."
Fiona shook her head slightly. If the situation was as Avis said, then she had no reason to refuse.
After Avis left, the corner door on one side of the bedroom opened, and a half-elf maid with black hair, green eyes, and a black and white lace uniform walked out and stood beside Fiona.
That was Fiona's personal maid, Anne, who had been responsible for taking care of Fiona's daily life since she was a child. When Fiona took office as lord this time, Anne also accompanied her, and her own status was also improved.
Currently, she is the head maid in the City Lord's Mansion, has the right to manage all affairs in the City Lord's Mansion, and is directly under Fiona.
"Although it is a bit presumptuous, Miss, I personally think that the power you have given Mr. Boli is a bit too much. Currently, there is no one in the territory who can restrain his actions. This is very dangerous."
Glancing at the closed door, Annie spoke with some worry, fearing that her young lady would trust her adjutant too much and suffer backlash from her subordinates in the future.
"Well, didn't I tell you already, Anne? No, Mr. Boley... was specially arranged for me by my father, so he is trustworthy."
Fiona felt helpless about the persuasion from her own maid.
This was not the first time. Although she knew the inside story, it was not convenient for her to reveal it to Annie.
"Maybe he doesn't have such thoughts now, but if he continues like this, it's hard to say whether he will have thoughts that are harmful to you in the future..."
"Well, Anne, I order you by the authority of the Lord not to mention this matter again--"
But before Anne finished her exhortation, Fiona directly exercised her rights in a coquettish tone. At the same time, she stretched out a white and tender finger and gently pressed it on her pink lips.
"Ha... I see, miss."
With a helpless sigh, Anne finally understood that the ice wizard named Levin Boley seemed to have gained the young lady's complete trust by some unknown method.
It seems that if I want to check and balance him, I can only rely on myself to play the role of the bad guy.
A moment later, in the corridor of the castle, Anne blocked Anvis who was giving orders to people to prepare the venue and reception for the meeting with the Fourth Princess.
"Ms. Anne? What's the matter with you stopping me? I still have a task assigned by the lord to complete."
Although he had guessed about 70% of Annie's purpose, Avis pretended to be ignorant and acted in a businesslike manner.
"It won't take up too much of your time, Lord Boli. The purpose of my coming here is just to tell you that the Lord is always watching your every move."
Facing Avis's deep black eyes, Anne mustered up her courage and looked back at him without flinching.
She is now the head maid of the castle, directly reporting to Fiona, and must fight for the interests of her lady.
"Please always be aware of your actions and don't make things difficult for the young lady."
