Unexpected!
That thought flashed through Princess Renner's mind.
She had originally planned to inadvertently reveal during the upcoming conversation that she already knew Leinas was the other party's person.
Thereby seizing a certain initiative and then determining the purpose of this Mr. Minori.
But now… that's no longer feasible.
Why?
Unless… this Mr. Minori already knows that Leinas has been guessed by her.
How did he come to this conclusion?
Several thoughts flashed through Princess Renner's mind, but she still wore a happy, innocent smile on her face, and her verdant white fingers pinched the sides of her skirt and let go.
Facing the confused gazes in the room.
"I accidentally met Miss Leinas once when I was in the Imperial Capital before," Minori casually introduced.
A trace of understanding flashed across the faces of the "Blue Rose" members.
Currently, "Free Will" is still wanted by the Empire.
Compared to the seemingly small matter of knowing Leinas, they are actually more curious about how Minori was wanted.
This question is not easy to ask in this environment.
Tina deliberately mentioned the question of "who is beautiful" just now, but under Minori's stiff topic change, it is not easy to continue.
"Sit down and talk, Leinas, Mr. Minori."
Princess Renner, as the owner here, spoke in a crisp and pleasant voice.
Throughout the whole process, she did not mention the issue of formal attire, which made Enri, who was standing at the back, breathe a sigh of relief.
She found that the members of "Blue Rose" on the opposite side, except for the captain Lakyus, were not wearing formal attire either.
As everyone sat down one after another.
Princess Renner sat on the sofa in the very center, with the "Blue Rose" members and the "Free Will" members sitting on the sofas on either side respectively.
Minori faced Leinas.
Since Minori's position was close to Princess Renner, he let the Kuro lie on the other end of the sofa, close to Enri.
There was only a round tea table in the center, which could only take care of Princess Renner, as well as Minori and Lakyus who were close to here.
The rest of the people could not be taken care of, and the maids, who had been prepared for a long time, saw everyone sitting down and brought over smaller and more exquisite tea tables.
Portions of fragrant court pastries and steaming black tea were also quickly placed in front of everyone.
"This scene reminds me of the stories of heroes I used to read," Princess Renner's voice carried a hint of playful smile.
"Spare us, Princess."
Gagaran's helpless, rough voice came, and her square face quickly swept across the Verdant Witch and Minori:
"I really don't like this cumbersome and cramped environment."
Tia and Tina sat quietly on the sofa, but their eyes were fixed on Enri and the Verdant Witch respectively.
Only "Country Destroyer" Evileye, from beginning to end, did not speak. Because she was wearing a mask and wrapped in a long red robe, no one could know what the other party was thinking or what their gaze was looking at.
Simple words and casual attitude all revealed that "Blue Rose" and Princess Renner had an unusual relationship.
Such secret information.
If other adventurer teams knew about it, they would be extremely surprised.
However.
The members of "Free Will" could not see any useful information.
Enri was just an ordinary person, and she couldn't hide any emotions in front of everyone. She probably didn't understand anything, so there was really nothing worth observing.
The Verdant Witch was a demi-human, and she had a cold face from beginning to end.
Only Minori was the most concerning, but the other party had a gentle demeanor and was not the kind of person who easily showed his emotions.
Leinas, who was standing behind Princess Renner, was tense inside.
She didn't know why Princess Renner would summon "Free Will" through "Blue Rose". She couldn't help but be surprised when she first heard the news.
"I wasn't at the scene when the incident happened some time ago, so I can't express my apology. I originally wanted to invite Mr. Minori alone after the celebration."
Lakyus's emerald green eyes looked at Minori on the opposite side, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her fair cheeks:
"The Princess also heard about this matter… so, that's why she sent invitations to everyone. It is an honor that the members of "Free Will" were able to accept the invitation."
"Leinas, you idiot."
Renner suddenly spoke.
"There are still outsiders here, Princess."
Leinas was stunned, shook her head helplessly, and her golden, slightly curly hair fluttered.
This kind of girlfriend-like rhetoric, although it made everyone a little confused, dissipated the faintly serious atmosphere in the room and made it lighter.
"It's just a small matter."
Minori didn't care: "Whether it's "Blue Rose" or Princess Renner, they all have extremely high reputations in the royal capital."
"It is our honor to receive the invitations from both of you."
After speaking.
Minori's heart slightly condensed. He was really not suitable for this kind of complimentary exchange. In addition, he still couldn't determine what Princess Renner's purpose was.
If he allowed these two women in front of him to take the initiative and guide the topic, he felt that things would become a little troublesome.
"Please forgive me for being rude."
Minori pondered and chose to go straight to the point:
"If it's just because of this matter, there shouldn't be any need for the Princess and Captain Lakyus to specially send out invitations, right?"
Princess Renner blinked her eyes, and a hint of seriousness appeared in her deep blue eyes. She turned her head and looked at Lakyus beside her.
"That's right."
Lakyus also became serious, reached out and took out a bottle of blue potion from a magic leather pouch placed aside.
"This is… a Regeneration Potion, or a low-level "Regeneration Potion" that sells for five copper coins."
Minori's eyes flashed. He could naturally recognize the Regeneration Potion he made.
"That's right," Lakyus said, "The low-level Regeneration Potion made by Mr. Minori is far lower than the cheapest recovery potion on the market."
"And the healing effect is even stronger than recovery potions."
"Cheap and more effective."
"What I mean is, can the cost be compressed even further?"
Speaking of this, Lakyus was already a little embarrassed. After all, this already involved the other party's trade secrets, and selling it for five copper coins was already very low.
Hearing these words.
Minori already had some guesses, but the expression on his face did not change at all. Instead, he thought first, and then nodded: "If manufactured in large quantities, the cost can indeed be lowered even further."
Lakyus's eyes lit up. Seeing that Minori didn't mean to be angry, her healthy, light pink lips slowly exhaled a breath.
Princess Renner pressed her hands on the tea table, leaned forward, and strands of golden silk hair fell on both sides of her pink earlobes, and a clear and elegant fragrance came.
"Mr. Minori, the Empire has wars with the Kingdom every year. I don't know how many soldiers die on the battlefield or are disabled for life."
Princess Renner's eyes drooped, and then she looked at Minori with sparkling eyes, took her hands away from the tea table, hugged them in front of her chest, and said with anticipation and hope:
"The situation at the border cannot be influenced, but if low-level Regeneration Potions that are cheap and more effective can be provided to the soldiers in the border wars in large quantities, it should be able to save many people."
"If you don't mind, I intend to explain this proposal to my father. My father should not refuse matters that are beneficial to the country, the border, and the soldiers."
"The country will fund the purchase, and the price can also be negotiated. The soldiers will definitely be grateful to Mr. Minori."
The crisp voice, like a breeze brushing across the lake, slowly echoed in the hall.
For a time, the air became quiet.
Except for the Verdant Witch, who had a cold face from beginning to end, everyone else showed more or less thoughtful expressions.
Even Enri, who didn't understand anything, had a look of sudden realization, admiration, and other expressions on her face.
The members of "Blue Rose" did not feel abrupt about the Princess's words. After all, the "gold" in the title of Golden Princess was also a description of wisdom.
Before this.
Princess Renner often proposed measures to the King that were beneficial to the country and the common people.
Climb, who was standing on the edge, stood even straighter, raised his chin slightly, and felt a kind of heat in his heart.
As expected of the goddess-like Princess.
It is a spirit worthy of admiration, and only a princess who considers the common people in everything can rescue himself from hell.
Facing Princess Renner's pure, hopeful eyes and that "gem-like" face, most men probably wouldn't have the heart to refuse.
What's more, on the surface, this is a win-win situation.
No!
This is indeed a win-win situation.
Minori's face was still gentle, but his expression was thoughtful, and he did not reply immediately.
Lakyus and Princess Renner had obviously communicated in advance, but from the words of both parties, Lakyus was obviously not as good as Princess Renner at understanding people's hearts.
Lakyus meant to buy Regeneration Potions in large quantities and lower the price.
And although Princess Renner's words just now did not explicitly say so, the four words "negotiate the price" actually meant that the price could be raised.
In addition, "the soldiers' gratitude" represents prestige, not only at the adventurer level, but also at the national level.
There is no need to perform deductions.
This kind of thing that only has benefits and no disadvantages, with the support of Lakyus's great aristocratic status behind her, the King and the pro-King faction, and even the aristocratic faction, will definitely not refuse.
Even.
Princess Renner's plan is also highly consistent with Minori's plan to transform "fame" into "influence."
Truly amazing.
Minori felt a little emotional in his heart, but it wasn't praising Princess Renner's proposal for being powerful, because the content of this "proposal" is something that many smart people would think of.
In fact, the big commotion that Minori caused with Regeneration Potions in the Imperial Capital of the Baharuth Empire was similar to the content of this proposal.
It was nothing more than attracting the attention of the Bloody Emperor, and then conducting a series of cooperation, so that he could meet that Fluder.
But the Bloody Emperor, apart from the initial probing, never went any further.
On this point, he is indeed not as bold as Princess Renner in directly making a move!
Minori came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked at the beautiful-faced Princess Renner: "Sorry, I refuse."
