Volume 2 Chapter 192 - Keeping the seeds of flame (1/2)

Xu Yi didn’t faint from happiness, but he did almost jump from joy.

Having private territory, that was one of his dreams since he came to this world.

Understanding the society of the Sines Continent, he knew the importance of having territory.

When he set up the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, especially when Baron Belil had expelled them from the Stagg Family’s territory in Banta City, he wanted his own territory even more.

There were many advantages to having his own territory. Other than not being casually expelled by others, Xu Yi could change his territory as he wished and no one would dare say anything because that was his right as the lord of the territory.

Other than that, the most important thing for Xu Yi was that after receiving territory, Xu Yi could boldly create the foundations for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce there and make a long term plan based on it. He didn’t need to worry about strange circumstances that he would have to deal with passively.

To put it simply, Xu Yi was king in this territory, he could do whatever he wanted and other people couldn’t interfere.

So when he heard Seveni say that he would be receiving territory, Xu Yi immediately gave out an excited cry. He pumped his fist before quickly asking Seveni, “Where is this territory? It’s best if it’s not that far from Banta City and it’s best if it’s not too small. You should at least let me put down a few factories, don’t you think, your highness?”

When Xu Yi treated Seveni courteously before, it was because he was dissatisfied and wanted to object, but this time he was too happy and had unknowingly used it.

Seveni saw Xu Yi’s flattering look and couldn’t help pursuing her lips into a smile. After a bit, she said, “Honourable Lord Viscount Xu Yi, if you had to choose your territory, where would you want it? And how big do you want it?”

Xu Yi replied without any hesitation, “Of course it’s the Falling Rain Valley. As for the size, it would be best if you could give me all of the Falling Rain Valley, but I know that this idea is too much, so…..”

“No, this idea isn’t too much.” Seveni cut Xu Yi off.

Xu Yi was stunned, “It can’t be, right? Could it be…..Could it be…..you’re really giving the Falling Rain Valley to me?”

Seveni nodded with a faint smile, “That’s right. I’ve discussed it with royal father and we’ve fought with the Royal Parliament to give you the Falling Rain Valley as your territory. Moreover, it’s even been expanded to a total area of twenty square kilometers. How about it, are you satisfied with this?”

“Yes! Very much!” Xu Yi immediately broke out in laughter as he excitedly looked around, not knowing how to express the emotions in his heart. He suddenly came forward and hugged Seveni, patting her on the back as he loudly shouted, “Your highness, I really have to thank you! From this day forth, I am your loya fan!”

Seveni was scared by Xu Yi’s sudden action, but feeling the strength in Xu Yi’s arms and smelling the scent that came from him, her face couldn’t help turning red.

Actually, this was her first time being this intimate with a man other than her royal father, she didn’t even hug her two big brothers. Now that she was being intimately hugged by Xu Yi, she wasn’t used to it, but strangely she didn’t dislike it, rather it felt quite comfortable.

This feeling was something she felt when her royal father hugged her when she was younger, she hadn’t felt it in a long time.

In the end, Xu Yi reacted and quickly let go. He took two steps back and explained to Seveni with an awkward look, “This…..your highness, sorry. I was too excited and I couldn’t help myself…..I didn’t do it on purpose…..”

The blush on Seveni’s face slowly disappeared. She shook her head before saying with a faint smile, “It’s fine, I understand the excitement in your heart. After all, it has been a long time since our Lampuri Kingdom has granted a noble territory. But Xu Yi, I always thought that you would keep your calm and wit, I never thought that you would become like this when you became excited.”

Xu Yi laughed, “There’s no other way. All people have this time, I’m not an exception. It’s harder to control yourself when you become excited.”

Seveni suddenly gave a soft sigh, “It seems like you’ll only show your true appearance when you’re with young miss Still, it’s hard for others to see it.”

Xu Yi said with a shrug, “If you want to see it, you could just get along with me like Still.”
