"Insult? Did I ever insulted you elder Massung?" Prince Mix said

"You even deny? what you said earlier?" 3rd elder Massung said

"I'm not sure if you're pretending to be stupid or plain stupid Elder Massung?" Prince Mix said

The all the elders and Kingdom advisors was shocked and start discussing among themselves. While the King was silently watching on the throne with a slight smile on his face.

"What did you say!!" 3rd elder Massung said.

He had enough for this crown Prince words it starts to irritate him. He was not even sure why the Crown Prince was usually will stun and Sutter if he was asked anything in a meeting, even dared to speak like this in important meeting like this.

"Oh Dear, you're the helpless 3rd elder, I'm not sure why even you are here?" Prince Mix said.

"What are imply crown Prince?" the 5th elder Senyu ask

"Well thank you for asking Elder Senyu" Prince Mix give a light smile and a bow towards the 5th elder Senyu. " Based on the facts that the elders presented regarding the problem on the out of control the foreign merchants upsetting the balance in our local trade, the problem was not the existence of the foreign merchants rather it was a huge opportunity if handle well, and you 3rd elder biggest solution for this is to chase them out! That's why I said that If you are not pretending to be stupid your one!"

A huge uproar broke in the Silver Brook Hall. All running to their head the Crown Prince was too unusual today.

A loud laugh And a hint sinister in the voice broke the crowd. All of the trace where it came from.

"What did you say not a problem? rather an opportunity that we can't miss? you are lost your mind Crown Prince" 3rd elder Massung said.

"Shit, this old man is annoying, I'm starting to hate this meeting, I didn't know that I need to take part in this meeting, I hate meetings" shook her head while raising her eyebrows to show a disagreement.

Due to her sad experience in meetings gone wrong in her current job, she learns to instinctively hate it to her core.

"3rd elder, If you want the spotlight I won't steal it from you," Prince Mix said, he continued " I will present 3 reasons why I said what said"

"haha if you can't prove your point Crown Prince, Can you bare the consequence of your actions to dare insult an elder? 3rd elder Massung said

Prince Mix ignores the 3rd elder Massung once again and continues to express his point.

"First the arrival of the foreign merchants is a good way to establish our Foreign Trade Relationship for allowing them to penetrate our market. The improvement of our Foreign Trade Relationship gives us more opportunities like gathering information related to their cultures, from strengths and weaknesses; To gain goodwill from them that increase our prestige in other foreign kingdoms that create allies and more opportunities in the future."

"Second, it will solve our problem in the shortage of our supply of Black Silver Ores that we need to make basic weapons for our military and kingdom knights. And we also gain access to new minerals and new goods that is not accessible in our kingdom. Not just that we can also make an agreement with to establish an merchandise in their kingdoms as a form of trade relations."

"Third, We can earn profit from it, By putting a Tariff or Import Tax as our regulation in our territory. What we can offer them in exchange for their sums of money is protection and organized trading platforms for their convenience. Protection like rural bandits and discrimination of our people. Organized trading platforms are where we established a fix places that all of them gather to buy and sell it can be called 'Foreign Public Market'.

"The benefits that we get from it is too high to miss, then you suggesting to chase them away just because of they a huge threat for your right 3rd elder?

After Prince Mix said his point everybody was shocked. Where did the Crowd Prince get all his ideas?

"haha, crown Prince mix, you are really mad, Foreign relations ? are you talking about?" 3rd elder Massung said.

"Crown Prince, what do mean Tariff or Import tax? and foreign trade relationship? we have not had that idea in our kingdom" 2nd Elder Galen ask.

There was a huge uproar among the elders and kingdom advisors and asking the crown Prince statements that so foreign to them.

"Omg, I forgot these people might not know basics in economics, shit! this is hard" She said to herself and give a disappointed smile.

Clap Clap

King Martin claps and said " My Son explain to them your plan in details, and I will let you supervise the overall Foreign Trade Relations" and give a bright smile to his son prince Mix.

"Shit, Plan? is there even a plan? this dream is out of control, I just want this to end, I want to learn how to fight with swords that will be fun" she said to herself.

The Crown Prince was silent for a while and all the people of the Hall was staring at King Martin.

"I think the crown Prince already so ready and King Martin already knows, that why he didn't react earlier because everything is at his expectations." one of the elders whispered

"you are right" one of the Elder response with a soft voice.

Some of the kingdom advisors and elders noticed that the Crowd Prince is giving an impression of dominance and confidence that the Crowd Prince usually lacks.

"The Plan, there was none, all of this out of control, I just want to have fun in my dream, not like this," she said to herself.

When the Crown Prince still has no plan to say anything anymore, King Martin interject and said the Plan to all.

According to the Plan said by King Martin. Crowd Prince will be the Head of this department Foreign Trade Relations from now on. To create rules and regulations, total operations of this department.

"Son, there anything you want to say? " king Martin ask Her.

"My king, There is nothing more to add, I will prepare all the necessary papers and Budget proposal for this new department FTR," she said with a lazy demeanor.
