�Then young lady Amiru�s concern is that the crown�s influence in your territory will get stronger because of this?�

�Yes.�

Amiru gave a short answer, before continuing on.

�That is why I asked for this time with you today.�

It meant that she had something to discuss with him. Cale leaned on the back of the seat, and asked while in a comfortable position, as if he was in his own carriage.

�I am curious to know what your question is, but I think I need to tell you something first.�

He knew why Amiru was here.

�Any decision regarding the funds of the Henituse family is made solely by my father. A trash like me has no decision-making powers.�

The royal family would grant permission to build a naval base and invest huge sums of money. Naturally, the ownership of that naval base would then be passed on to the royal family.

When building a military base in a territory that is outside the capital, there are a lot of different contracts between the crown and the nobility for ownership and other logistics involving the military base.

There was a significant difference in manpower and funds between using the location as a military base than using the cliffs and the ocean for just tourism.

Amiru and Gilbert�s families were, honestly speaking, just average in wealth, lacking both the funds and the manpower to complete such a project.

That was what Amiru wanted to prevent. That meant that there was only one method.

Borrowing money from someone with a lot of money.

�Is that really the case?�

Amiru�s smile seemed very intelligent. She had entered the crown prince�s room during the wine party with Eric and Gilbert once Cale had left.

It was then that she learned that the crown prince was interested in the shoreline, even though he was not interested in tourism. When she returned to her residence that night, she thought about Cale�s words, and figured out his intentions.

�His Highness the crown prince was wary of the Whipper Kingdom and the kingdoms to the north. I could tell based on our conversation with him, so I sought out some information from the information guild.�

�I knew it.�

Cale could tell from Amiru�s words that the crown prince and the royal family were aware of the fact that the Whipper Kingdom would soon face a civil war, and that the North was gathering their forces.

�But this was unexpected.�

Amiru�s decision-making was on point. Amiru�s family was not doing very well right now, relying a lot on Eric Wheelsman�s family for help. It would have cost a lot to get information on foreign kingdoms through the information guild, but her willingness to spend that money to verify a single piece of information showed her personality.

Amiru looked toward Cale, who was quietly listening, before continuing.

�I heard the Henituse territory is currently fortifying its walls. I believe the Henituse family will be interested in the military, since it is a territory that does not allow any kind of invasions.� JrNovels.com
