Chapter 29: Losing Money Again
"Your Highness, Princess Jenna has notified you to go." Watson bowed and stood aside, reporting to Cage who was reading a book.
"Oh~, what's the matter?" Cage was very surprised. There was nothing going on recently, so why did he come to him?
"The person who came didn't say."
"Okay, I know."
Cage put away the book, told Watson to change clothes, and went to the palace. He didn't know what Jenna had done this time. Cage came to the palace and, led by the maid, came to the palace where Jenna lived. Jenna was still sitting alone in a high position, looking down at Cage who had arrived.
"Mother, what do you want to ask your son to come?"
"Your brother Harris will be 12 years old soon." Jenna looked at Cage who was standing below without any reaction.
"That's great, I have to congratulate him." Cage said with a smile. He looked at Jenna's expression and it was very funny, but he couldn't laugh, so he could only hold it in.
"Your brother has no income, and it will be difficult for him to build a mansion. You should help him." Jenna sighed. She knew it was too late to repair the relationship now. Not only did she not help him, but she kept causing trouble for him. It was quite good that she didn't fall out.
"Of course, I will help if I can. Otherwise, if brother Harris builds a mansion, I will give him 100,000 gold coins to congratulate him on his move to the new mansion." Cage said with a smile. He didn't want to make the relationship too stiff.
"I hope you can always stand firmly by your brother's side and help him. Your brother is now the youngest level 5 warrior in the entire royal family."
Cage still understood Jenna's reminder. It was nothing more than letting him help his brother to wait for the throne of the king. But Cage had a very clear understanding of this kind of royal struggle. Maintaining a good relationship with everyone is the most important thing. Don't rely on anyone. For the throne of the king, it is normal for brothers to kill each other. Life is more important.
"Mother's words, I will remember them in my heart." Cage didn't make it too clear. Remembering and doing are two different things. Cage believes that his father, Reis XII, must have his own secret agents in various places to get information for him. He doesn't want to be hated by his father because of this kind of thing. At most, he will pay a little more money. Anyway, he has many ways to make money, and it doesn't matter if he loses a little.
Jenna didn't know whether Cage really understood or not. Looking at his appearance, you can't know any of his inner thoughts. "Cage, I hope your business can count your brother as a share."
"Of course, I will definitely give him my own profits." Cage emphasized that it was his own profits, and it was not easy for Jenna to know.
"Well, okay, you go back first, and remember to be more intimate with your brother in the future."
"Yes, mother, I'll take my leave." Cage has cursed many times in his heart. Damn, he knew that there was no good thing when he came, and he wanted to dig some money from me again. Damn.
Although Cage had a smile on his face, he had already cursed in his heart. No matter how depressed he was, he still had to pay the money. Cage certainly didn't care about the mere 100,000 gold coins. Money was just a number to him now. What was important was his mood. Cage strongly hoped that he could leave this place of trouble. He didn't know if he had the chance to leave the imperial capital. Cage was always depressed. He just wanted to find a place where he could make all the decisions.
Cage returned home and asked Watson to prepare 100,000 gold coins. Blood must be paid. The most important thing about this money was not to arouse the jealousy of other forces. It would be bad if they thought he wanted to unite with his brother.
"Your Highness, Marquis Vidi sent an invitation to invite you to the auction."
"Oh." This was good news. He went out to relax. Cage knew that there were auctions in this world. Generally, chambers of commerce would auction some items in various places through exchanges in various places. Cage also wanted to know if there were any good things. Now that he had money, he had nothing to fear. "Reply to the Marquis, I will definitely attend on time."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Recently, Yijin and Erjin have learned to fly. In order to maintain their wildness, Cage specially asked Dajin and Xiaojin to take their children out hunting and learn basic life skills. It is not easy to keep a big-eyed golden eagle at home. Only by keeping wildness can it be more combat-effective. Cage put vests on them and told them to hunt only near the imperial capital. People in the imperial capital generally know that this is his magic pet and will not hunt them. Safety is still guaranteed.
The auction place of the Shangqiu Chamber of Commerce, where Cage arrived on time, is a large restaurant. Cage and his friends can usually watch from upstairs and bid at the same time.
"Hello, Your Highness!" The waiter at the door obviously knew what status Cage's clothes represented.
"Where is the room reserved by Marquis Vidi?" Watson asked for Cage.
"In Room 3 on the third floor." The waiter replied respectfully.
Cage, Watson, and House came to Room 3, where Vidi was already waiting. "Your Highness Cage, thank you for your presence." Vidi smiled and welcomed Cage into the room, and told someone to close the door.
"Thank you for the invitation, Your Excellency the Marquis. I wonder what good things there are today. Thank you for your presence," Cage said with a smile.
"I don't know yet, but I heard from their organizer that there are some good things this time, so I invited Your Highness to come and see them." Vidi also smiled.
"When will it start?"
"It will take a while." Vidi looked at Cage and said indirectly, "Your Highness, your brother Prince Harris is about to build his own palace. What are your plans?"
"Plans? Give some gifts, 100,000 gold coins. My mother specially called me into the palace and asked me to give this number. This time it's a big loss. I just donated 300,000 gold coins to the soldiers in the east. The savings of the past two years have basically been spent." Cage complained.
Vidi saw that Cage's helpless expression didn't seem to be fake. It was well known that Cage had a bad relationship with his mother. This time he blackmailed him for such a large sum of money. Cage should be extremely dissatisfied. This is a good opportunity.
"100,000 gold coins, and His Majesty the King only gave 50,000 gold coins to each prince to build a palace." Vidi shouted, hoping to attract Cage's attention. When Cage built the palace, he only gave 10,000 gold coins? It mainly depends on whether the prince is favored by the king.
"No way, can I say no?" Cage pretended to be helpless.
"You should ask for less, 100,000 gold coins is too much." Vidi thought it was not worth it for Cage. "Your Highness, my golden eagle has arrived, and I'm feeding it."
"Oh, is it a cub?"
"Yes."
"Congratulations, Your Excellency. A cub is easier to raise than an adult."
"As you said, I feed it myself. Indeed, it only eats the food I give it." Vidi was excited. It seemed that feeding the golden eagle made him happy.
"How many months are the cubs now?"
"About two months old. Some time ago, I wanted to exchange feeding experience with you."
"In another month, you must conduct flight training. First, push him down from a height of one person, and slowly increase the height so that he can learn to fly." Cage is quite interested in feeding pets. "By the way, did you use a whistle to guide him during the feeding process so that he can understand the meaning of your whistle."
"Not yet. Is this urgent?"
"No hurry. It doesn't matter if you do it slowly in the future, but it is very important to let them learn to fly."
"Let them fall down and get hurt." Vidi said distressedly. That was a shining gold coin.
"Definitely. A golden eagle that can't fly is not a golden eagle. They are the kings of the sky. What kind of kings are they if they can't fly? You don't have to worry about breaking them. Mother eagles train their eaglets in this way. The wings of eaglets are not afraid of breaking. Their wings have strong regeneration ability and can recover quickly. If you are not sure, take them to my house. I will let Da Jin and Xiao Jin help train them. Now the eaglets I raise can fly and are now training to hunt outside the imperial capital."
"That's great. I'm still worried about how to train them. It would be even better if your highness helps." Wei Di said with a smile. He really didn't know how to feed this kind of magic beast, but the most important thing was to have a reason to go to Cage's mansion for a long time.
