Accusations

The minister clearly understood the value and importance of the resources I had in my hands and therefore acknowledged me a bit more than most here. The others were only aware that my kingdom had the strategic resources but he was aware of the fact that it was actually I who was incharge of this. The income through these sales did go directly to me and it was totally upto me where and how those funds are used. During our initial transactions even he had a few doubts about this but after such constant interaction he understood the authenticity of it. 

Minister of finance - " Greeting prince Shaurya. It is nice to finally put a face to the man I had interacted with for so long. "

Me - " Greetings minister. The pleasure and honour is all mine and I am sorry for being unable to be with you personally during our dealings. "
