Chapter 129 Aunt and Naga

"If necessary, even two or three ships would suffice. Over there lies abundant food, as long as we can establish trade relations, coupled with unique minerals. If we control this golden route, it will bring immense wealth!" Arthas produced a map, roughly marking the locations of four continents, as well as Kul Tiras and Zandalar Islands.

"We need to depart from Lordaeron, cross the Endless Sea to reach the continent of Kalimdor. Even with the Naga escort, there are significant risks involved, such as encountering storms and sea monsters at sea. Upon reaching the continent of Kalimdor, we will need to traverse the Tanaris Desert, where extreme creatures and the Sandfury Trolls pose threats. The final destination is here, Un'Goro Crater, which is rich in resources, self-sustaining, and can also be used for external trade." Arthas shared his plan, from the eastern kingdom continent to Kalimdor.

Arthas may not understand trade matters, but his proposal to create a unique flag is a clear signal.

He aims to monopolize maritime trade!

If one does not understand how to make money, it does not matter in any industry, as long as one can monopolize it, significant profits can be generated.

Whether it's a difference of one million or ten million, leave the methods and ways to the professionals to worry about this is not something he needs to concern himself with. If someone is not capable, they can be replaced.

The gaze of Viscountess Ashvane became increasingly bright; how could she not know how immense the profits from monopolizing maritime trade could be!

Races capable of supporting maritime trade have risen!

Goblins!

Zandalari Trolls!

Why are the other Trolls lagging behind and being beaten?

It's because they isolate themselves and do not absorb more advanced knowledge.

Whether it's Kul Tiras or Zandalar, they can establish their unique cultural atmosphere and are not worried about cultural invasion.

By maintaining their core strengths, they can further absorb advanced craftsmanship knowledge and magical skills. In such an environment, progress is inevitable.

"We cannot engage in full-scale war yet; we can start by taking down some weaker opponents. For example, the Black Fleet of Lordaeron, dear, that is a fleet established by other noble Lords. They earn substantial profits but show the least respect for the royal family; your father has long wanted to teach them a lesson." Viscountess Ashvane explained, taking Arthas's wife's perspective and elaborating.

A kingdom is not a monolithic entity the feudal system of nobles determines that unity is impossible.

The nobles' territories have high levels of autonomy, meaning they form small kingdoms how could they possibly be united!

Intrigue is normal its absence would be strange.

Arthas squeezed Aunt's hand, looking at her with determination. "No need for explanations; you are my spouse, and I will trust and help you unconditionally. Spouses should support each other; I know you have my best interests at heart, and I understand."

Vashj felt the air turn sour, as if there was a hint of lemon in it.

"His Royal Highness Prince is truly magnanimous!"

"The same goes for you, Lady Vashj; we are just in a cooperative relationship. But if one day you become my spouse, I will also help you unconditionally, not for anything else but because we are family, the closest family, and should not engage in intrigue but in love and assistance." Arthas shook his head he was the epitome of helping family over reason.

The logic?

He understood it, but it did not mean he had to follow it.

This statement left Vashj momentarily stunned; her eyes flickered, thinking Arthas was joking. But seeing his sincere gaze, she held back her teasing words.

"Let's discuss the next steps let's leave Pandaria out of the equation for now. I will inform Her Majesty the Queen and let her decide for now, let's focus on the trade between the two continents."

The three of them discussed for a long time, not because they disagreed, but because new ideas kept emerging during the discussion, making the plan more comprehensive. For example, dealing with the Goblin cartel by enticing some and striking others to show how beneficial it is to join them and the consequences of not doing so.

There were also discussions about the high elf trade route, the southern jungle Troll trade route, and more.

The Naga also had their uses, as did some races from the Broken Isles and Northrend, all of whom had connections and dealings.

Some trade routes could be shared with Arthas, allowing his fleet to engage in trade.

Viscountess Ashvane did not take over all the trade she only assisted Arthas in building his fleet.

She was well aware that the Ashvane family was the Ashvane family, and the profits she earned had to be replenished in the family it was not possible to endlessly subsidize Arthas.

While the wealth was substantial, only a portion of the funds could be utilized.

So, rather than giving fish, it was better to teach how to fish, allowing her husband's fleet to operate profitably and self-sufficiently, which was more important than anything else.

Yes, husband. Prasiri genuinely acknowledged Arthas as her husband, even though it was impossible to be together publicly, but privately, no one cared.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. We still need to continue refining some details. Aunt, Omia is in your hands now, please help me educate her well."

Arthas stretched, and his bones made a crackling sound, followed by a wave of fatigue.

He had intimate relations with two women consecutively and ejaculated four times.

Feeling a bit mentally drained from overthinking, he was indeed tired.

"Rest in my room, I will instruct Bridget on the other side, that child is also good and deserves your care." Ashvane Viscountess smiled, kissed Arthas on the forehead, and sent him off to sleep.

On the contrary, she appeared lively and vibrant, as if life's blessings had transformed her.

All of this further elevated her feelings for Arthas to an extreme infatuation, believing that loving someone means giving them the best.

Arthas nodded, feeling somewhat sleepy, he laid down and soon started snoring.

"Madam Vashj, please come this way. I never thought I would collaborate with the Naga. Here's to a fruitful partnership ahead!" Ashvane Viscountess handed her a wine glass, brimming with joy.

"Cheers to a fruitful collaboration." Vashj also couldn't hide her excitement, knowing that this partnership was not only beneficial for Arthas but also for herself.

Almost two decades of time could be compressed to half, and having a perfect transition between the high elves and the Naga meant becoming stronger!
