Volume 2 Chapter 34 - You???re not suited to be the queen (1/2)

Of course Xu Yi didn’t have a choice.

If he rejected Count Sean’s request, then that would mean that Xu Yi would lose the support of Count Sean.

And even if Count Sean’s support wasn’t important, the support of those who prompted him to make this kind of request to Xu Yi was very important.

Count Sean could say that it was for the benefit of the entire Lampuri Kingdom, which meant that this request didn’t just come from Count Sean alone, making Xu Yi unable to reject it at all.

But by accepting Count Sean’s request, it meant that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would be entering the arms industry that Xu Yi always resisted.

Although with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce developing and people accepting the power of the magic machines, Xu Yi had already expected this day to come, so he had made preparations in his heart.

But no matter what, he never expected it to come this early.

The magic machines for normal people haven’t even been popularized in the Lampuri Kingdom and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was already getting into the arms industry.

Most of the advanced technology on earth was associated first to the military, before it was gradually used by citizens. Xu Yi suddenly found that perhaps this was the fate of the machine industry.

It was like this on earth and it wasn’t an exception on the Sines Continent.

So after Xu Yi agreed to Count Sean, not long after, he adjusted his resistance mentality and began raising them.

But when he saw Seveni appear in front of him and discussing what kinds of weapons and armours are used by the army, Xu Yi couldn’t adjust and felt a bit uncomfortable.

“Your highness queen, I thought that you focused on the citizens, but I never thought that you dabbled in the military as well. It really…..lets me feel a contrast.” Xu Yi looked at Seveni’s gentle face as he spoke.

“Contrast? Why?” Seveni looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

“Because I feel that…...for a beautiful girl like you, it’s more suited to care about the lives of the citizens. But if you were to be related to the ice cold weapons, it is a bit strange.” Xu Yi honestly said.

“You think that I’m beautiful?” Seveni saw Xu Yi nod and revealed a faint smile as she said, “Many thanks for your praise. Indeed, compared to ice cold things like weapons and cruel military matters, I rather like care more about people’s lives. But there’s no other choice, since you call me your highness queen, I have no way of avoiding these things.”

“You want to take the throne?” Xu Yi couldn’t help asking.

After asking this, he found that asking this was a bit too rash.

This kind of question, how could he be worthy of asking this.

It was a good thing that Seveni only looked at Xu Yi in surprise. She didn’t look angry as she tilted her head to think before asking Xu Yi, “If you want the truth, I haven’t thought about it. Of course, no one would believe this.”

“I believe it.” Xu Yi quickly said, “Because I feel that you’re really not suited to being a queen.”

“Is if because I’m not worthy?” Seveni asked back.

“No, it’s not that you’re not worthy, rather you’re not suited.” Xu Yi sincerely said, “Although I haven’t had much contact with you, I feel that you’re a very calm and kind girl, this kind of disposition isn’t suited to being a queen. Actually, I’m a bit confused about how your highness developed this kind of personality growing up in the royal family.”

“This is your misconception.” Seveni shook her head, “As the queen, how could I possibly have the personality you speak of? Alright, let’s stop this nonsense and talk about business.”

Seveni clapped and took out a sheet of paper which she spread on the table in front of them.

“Do you see this? This is the current armour being used by the imperial guards. You should be able to understand the measurements written on this.”

Xu Yi looked it over and nodded, “I can understand, but it isn’t enough with just this design. It’s best if you give me a real set of armour.”

“That’s no problem, I will have someone send over several sets of armour with different specifications over.” Seveni nodded. She looked at Xu Yi carefully looking over the blueprint and said, “How about it? Do you have confidence?”

Xu Yi looked over it again before standing up and revealing a confident smile, “Your highness, did you forget how I replied last time you asked this question?”

Seveni was a bit surprised. She thought about when Xu Yi wanted to develop those Magic Punch Presses, she had asked this question to Xu Yi.
