All of a sudden, the fourth prince revealed a smile and said, "I'm happy that you're willing to call that, but now isn't the ti for that. I think that when we're in public, you should address as pri minister."
I was surprised to hear the fourth prince...no, the pri minister say this since this was completely different from how he acted before.
If this was before, he would have insisted that I kept calling him brother or Noah.
It seed that after taking his role, he had matured a bit...
No, he was always mature before, it was just that he was acting this way around .
He had acted in a way that he couldn't act around others before with , but now he was holding that side of him back. Or at least, he was doing that while we were in public.
After being surprised, I gave a slow nod since I didn't disagree with this.
But the problem was that the pri minister didn't say anything past this.
It was as if he ignored the second half of what I said.
After saying what he wanted to say, he turned around and headed out the carriage before standing there like he was waiting for us.
Haley had been watching and listening from the side since she also wanted to know what we were doing here.
Haley naturally recognized that this was the headquarters of the Alfried Company, so she also wanted to know what was happening here.
It wasn't just for her own curiosity, but also for her company.
But since the pri minister wouldn't say anything, there was nothing that they could do about it.
In the end, all they could do was follow the pri minister into the headquarters of the Alfried Company.
The mont that they ca in, there was a person that ca over to lead them into the back.
It seed like there was no need to even check in at the front desk, it seed that the pri minister had already prepared everything. That was why there was soone that was even waiting for them when they ca in.
This person led them to the back and brought them to a eting room before leaving them alone.
It seed like they were waiting for soone, but it didn't take long for that soone to arrive.
The mont that this person arrived, the first thing that they did was...
They went right up to the pri minister and bowed to him, as if they knew exactly who he was. After that, this person said, "Your highness, it is an honour for us to have you visit. May I know what your purpose in visiting today is?"
The pri minister narrowed his eyes when he heard this before calmly saying, "Carlos, I am no longer a prince, so you shouldn't be addressing as your highness."
The Alfried Company representative that the pri minister called Carlos was surprised to hear this, but he quickly gave a nod and said, "Yes, yes, it was my mistake. I hope that your high...my lord will not mind this."
The pri minister shook his head before saying, "Just call pri minister like everyone else."
Carlos' eyes opened wide when he heard this, but he quickly gave a nod in response before saying, "Then sir pri minister, is there anything that your humble servant can do today?"
The pri minister narrowed his eyes again after hearing this, but he didn't reprimand him this ti as he said, "There's soone that I wanted you to et today. In the future, they will be an important person for your company."
Carlos was visibly surprised to hear this since he didn't expect this, but he waited to see what the pri minister had to say.
The pri minister gestured to and simply said, "This is our new king."
The look on Carlos' face was almost as if he couldn't understand what the pri minister had just said. It took him a while before that expression disappeared and it seed like he was slowly understanding what the pri minister said.
However, as he started to understand this, there was a different expression that appeared on his face.
It was a cautious one, but there was also a trace of worry in his eyes.
Almost as if he was afraid of what I would do.
That wasn't strange since I was the new king.
Since this was a company that was run by the royal family, I had technically beco the new boss of this place.
For to co right after taking the throne, there must be sothing that I wanted from them which was never a good thing.
After a long silence, Carlos' expression changed once more.
He revealed a smile like a professional rchant and said, "Your majesty, it is an honour for us to have you visit. Is there anything that your humble servant can do?"
I couldn't help being surprised by how shaless he was.
He put on a smile and said the exact sa thing that he said to the pri minister to .
It was as if he wasn't bothered by the fact how this made him seem hypocritical at all.
It was as if he only cared about doing what he thought was the best for him and his company.
It also made admire the shalessness that he had.
This was just how a rchant was since shalessness was the best way to sell their goods.
I gave a cough to calm myself before saying, "I'm just here for a visit. It's the pri minister who has business with you."
Carlos revealed a bitter look again, but that quickly faded as he turned back to look at the pri minister.
The pri minister revealed a faint smile that almost seed like he was teasing Carlos, but he still said, "I'm here to announce that soone will be taking over this company as of today."
All of us looked at him in shock when we heard this.
