The Golden Throne
Chapter 76: Economy Laws!
They left the jewelry store, and started browsing the remaining stores. They kept looking at each and every one very keenly, that it was more like a dissection than browsing.
"I have to remind you that you shouldn't steal any of these designs. I highly doubt that you can replicate them anyways, but the stores in Dilheim sell only to those who understand that what we have done is a trade peculiar to ours, and must be protected. If you are buying anything, it can be for the sole purpose of using it for its intended purpose, and not for stealing designs. Anyone who does not respect that rule can be sentenced to three years in the dungeons.", Liu Feng warned Amelia.
"Really? What is this law? I have never heard about it before. I am a princess. I am acquainted with Aegon Laws, Liu Feng. Don't take me a fool.", she said quite confidently.
"This is not an Aegonian Law, Amelia. This is one specific to Dilheim. Most of these designs were by people that I have invested so much in, and it is only fair that these people reap the profits. Not some douche bag who wants to rip them off. That is why we have many laws protecting the sellers, and the exclusive merchants here.", Liu Feng corrected her.
"Protecting the sellers? Interesting. But why do that by risking your relationship with the people? How much can these sellers possibly be worth?", Amelia asked Liu Feng out of curiosity.
"These sellers are the life blood of Dilheim. They are what gives us this much revenue. This has become a trading city, and most of our money comes from custom taxes. If we offend the sellers, the whole city will collapse. Angry citizens are everywhere, and we have no shortage. But, no city should actually offend the merchants, or the city will cause it's own downfall.", Liu Feng said.
Amelia went quiet after this economics lesson. She pondered about this for a long time, and then nodded. They continued strolling, and looking at the different stores.
Amelia was interested in almost all of them, but Liu Feng was only interested in one. He took Amelia to the clothing shop that he had told Sir Nicholas to put up. He had also given them a few different fashion ideas and designs to follow. If what Liu Feng envisioned had been followed to the dot, and implemented on cloth, there would be multiple dresses that Amelia could try out, that would totally knockout Liu Feng. Liu Feng was giggling, just thinking about how gorgeous she would look, when he blocked his nose, stopping a rush of blood.
They went to the clothing shop, and Amelia was shocked at the sheer number of designs. Liu Feng went all out on these designs, because he knew that women would spend any amount of money on these, and these stores would become a major source of income. He went in with Amelia.
"If you like any of the dresses, try them out in one of the trial rooms over there on the side. You don't want to buy anything without confirming if it's worth it."
"Trial rooms? That's such a great idea! Wow, this place is genius.", Amelia remarked.
Amelia took a few dresses in, and came out a few minutes later.
"So, what do you think of this one?", she asked Liu Feng.
Liu Feng looked at Amelia, and immediately two streams of blood flowed out of his nose. He raised his thumbs to approve them. He said,
"You should just look in the mirror. If you keep asking me, I will have to go to the hospital because of blood loss."
"What do you mean by blood loss? Oh, that? You pervert? What should I even expect from a human? You are all perverts, as you have demonstrated yesterday in that restaurant.", she shouted at Liu Feng.
"If you call everyone who will stare at you when you wear that dress a pervert, then you are going to have to call every male a pervert.", Liu Feng corrected her.
They both laughed and continued to the next store, a jade store. Liu Feng bought a jade pendant and started chipping it away in secret. He then asked for a silver chain, and paid for them. He then put the pendant and the chain together, and said,
"Please keep this on our person at all times, it means so much to me.". He put the necklace of sorts on her, and reminded her never to take it off. Little did he know how important that would come to be, very soon in the future.
The day passed by with Liu Feng and Amelia laughing the whole day. Some of the other first year students saw them, and they were fraught with jealousy. Amelia, was, after all, the freshman queen without competition. They went back to the mansion, and sat at the dining table alone.
"So, have you liked it so far? Enjoyed the market?"
"Well, you do have some interesting things that we do not have at Elvan, that's all", Amelia looked away.
Liu Feng just nodded, and they had dinner, which was prepared by the chefs in the mansion. Again, Amelia was impressed by the quality and the richness brought in the flavors. This was truly a vegetarian's dream. In Elvan, people thought that the only way to eat vegetarian was to eat raw vegetables and vegetable soup.
They ate, and retreated to their quarters. Amelia went to her room, and went out to the balcony. She looked at the city in all its glory. It was a truly magnificent sight. She went back and fell on the bed.
"How the hell am I falling for that idiot?", she thought to herself, as she slowly drifted to sleep. At this time, a sharp glint could be seen. A needle shot at her, and it was about to hit her, when the necklace that Liu Feng bought her shined, and the needle broke. A shadow appeared and chased after the source of the needle from outside the window.
