From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Agnes's sudden directness was actually somewhat beyond Amber's expectations.

Before this, Baron BASF's "vaccination" for him was not like this. In the Baron's words, Her Royal Highness the Princess was not such a direct person, especially to someone like Amber who was sensitive about her identity and was not familiar with her, so he asked Amber to be prepared to "guess" the princess's thoughts.

Since the game in her previous life described Agnes's beautiful appearance far more than her life story and behavior, Amber believed Baron BASF's statement without knowing the princess's personality traits, and boldly guessed that the princess was probably a bit "unspeakable" and was even very likely to be a riddle person.

But now it seems... What?! The intelligence is false?

Fortunately, Amber had already discussed the relevant issues with other senior executives of the Atlas Group. After the relationship with the Regent began to deteriorate, they immediately began to explore the plan of fully supporting Agnes and helping her to ascend the throne smoothly, so as to seek the greatest benefits for the Atlas Group in the Star Dragon Empire.

Let alone the "traitorous" conditions, at least a few dozen completely free large-scale trading ports should be opened to the Atlas Group first, and the tariff issue should also be discussed carefully.

However, Amber didn't know enough about Agnes's thoughts at the moment, so he planned to get more information from Her Royal Highness the Princess first, so that he could propose more appropriate content in the subsequent "bargaining" process.

"I fully support you to take the throne?" Amber laughed dumbly, "Isn't the throne almost certain for you? His Majesty has already said that he will officially pass the throne to you. In a few months, it will be your coronation ceremony. Please allow me to watch the ceremony in the front row and witness the arrival of this moment."

"Mr. Amber, I don't know if you are trying to test my opinion or if you really don't know."

Agnes rolled her eyes at Amber, which was very inconsistent with royal etiquette, and continued:

"Will the Regent give up just because of what my father said? As the coronation ceremony approaches, their actions are becoming more and more undisguised. Coupled with the existence of those 'neutral factions' who change their stance according to the situation, I have to consider all possible threats that may affect my ascendancy to the throne. The strength your company has shown recently must have been witnessed by the entire human world, so I hope that the Atlas Group can be one of my 'safety measures'."

"Including using the armed forces of Atlas to help you ascend the throne?"

"Yes, including the use of armed forces to assist in emergencies. Believe me, Mr. Amber, I know quite a bit about your company's armed forces and technical level, which is why I value you so much that I even risk sending a fleet to assist your company."

Agnes said seriously, and the content of her next words was almost equivalent to a showdown with Amber:

"As you said, Mr. Amber, the relationship between your company and the Regent can no longer go back to the past, and the neutral and conservative nobles in the empire have not communicated deeply enough with you. No matter which of them holds the right to speak in the Star Dragon Empire in the future, it will not be a good thing for the Atlas Group that wants to open up a market in the empire. Therefore, betting on me is the best solution for your company at the moment."

"I have a general understanding of your needs~"

After listening to Agnes's words, Amber roughly understood what the princess was thinking, so her words at this moment became like those of Atlas' front-line sales staff.

"Then let's talk about the rough 'quotation' first. Of course, this will not be the final 'quotation'. If both parties can really reach an agreement, I will let the group's most professional team to connect with your people~"

"Very good~"

Agnes nodded, and then said a series of 'quotes' that far exceeded Amber's expectations.

It is not just about opening free trading ports or granting preferential tariffs, but directly allowing the Atlas Group to make large-scale investments and become a part of the Star Dragon Empire's economic and production activities, while also deeply binding the royal family and the Atlas Group.

"Ah? No. Are you sure this isn't treason?" Amber was really surprised by the generous conditions offered by Agnes.

"Your company's strength is not only reflected in military technology. Your communications, information technology, and efficient management system are also worth introducing and learning. If allowing the self-satisfied empire to embrace emerging technologies to improve its comprehensive national strength, eliminate those nobles who only waste resources, and allow the people of the empire to live a better life is considered 'selling out the country', then I, Agnes Barbara Leon, am willing to bear this 'infamy'."

"Wow, it's very bold, but I don't know how many of these words will actually come true."

This thought flashed through Amber's mind. Agnes's courage was somewhat beyond his expectations. Apparently, the Atlas Intelligence Center had underestimated Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Your Highness, I admire your courage, but I have another question." Amber stared straight at Agnes' eyes, "Why do you trust us, Atlas, so much? Aren't you really worried that we might turn against our employers or clients?"

"It's simple. Mr. Amber is a businessman, and the Atlas Group is a giant corporation that prioritizes profit and efficiency. You will only be loyal to capital instead of royal power, and I will provide more 'capital' than others."

"You are really good at judging people~"

Amber said with a smile, but at the same time he had the second half of the sentence in his mind.

"Just underestimated my appetite."

After both sides spoke frankly, the conversation between Amber and Agnes became more and more in-depth. However, when talking about the old Emperor Frederick, Agnes skipped the topic at the first opportunity and hinted that Amber was not suitable to talk about it now.

During this process, the convoy soon arrived at Agnes's villa.

It is called a villa, but in fact, in Amber's opinion, it can be regarded as a smaller palace.

Whether it was the old Emperor Frederico when he was still conscious, or the late Emperor Sigrivus, Agnes' grandfather, they both did a pretty good job in treating their children or in terms of "extravagance".

The royal family members, especially the legitimate sons and daughters, all have their own palaces in the capital area, even the deceased eldest prince and the infant prince are no exception.

The former died of illness during the construction of the palace, but the palace was completed at Frederico's request, simply to commemorate his deceased eldest son.

The latter's palace was already under construction before he was born.

Her Royal Highness the Princess' motorcade was parked in front of the banquet hall of the villa. After Natalia opened the car door, Amber and Agnes came out one after another.

The huge banquet hall that looked like a classical palace had made Amber a little numb, because there were too many such buildings along the way, especially after entering Agnes's villa. In addition to sighing that "the royal family of the Star Dragon Empire is indeed rich", Amber was only thinking about how to get the money out of their pockets.

After waiting to meet up with Isabel and the others, the group walked up the stairs towards the banquet hall. When they were halfway up the stairs to the banquet hall entrance, Agnes suddenly stopped and turned around. This movement made the necklace on her chest sway gently, and silver spots of light danced on her delicate collarbone. The long train spread out on the stone steps, and the dragon pattern embroidered with silver thread stretched out as her waist moved, as if an ancient totem had awakened between the curves of her waist and hips.

"Mr. Amber"

Agnes raised an arm and stretched it out to Amber, with a charming smile on her face.

"Our future together has arrived. Please follow us. Everyone in the banquet hall is looking forward to seeing you~"

At this moment, the Imperial Pearl and the man she was looking at attracted the attention of all the guests around.

This situation and this scene made Amber sigh, it was absolutely amazing.

Even Isabel, who was holding Amber's arm, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw this scene because of Agnes's surprise at the moment.

Lilith was even more impressed by the high level of the imperial princess. She was totally beyond the reach of others. She wanted to rush to Isabel's ear and remind her at the top of her voice:

"Wake up! Someone is trying to snatch your man right in front of you!"
