Chapter 831 Alfried Company

Chapter 831 Alfried Company

We left the castle in a horse carriage that the fourth prince prepared.

This was a carriage that just screamed that it was trying to attract attention since it was clearly decorated to show that there was someone important in it. At the same time, there were many guards that came with us as we headed out of the castle.

So the moment that we left the castle, we were immediately spotted by the citizens.

In fact, with how much attention we were drawing to ourselves, it didn't take long before we were surrounded.

Though no one was crazy enough to get in the way of a horse carriage.

No one was willing to risk their lives just for a glance at the people in the horse carriage.

Seeing the crowd gather around us and the guards creating a perimeter, there was a bitter smile that appeared on my face.

I turned to the fourth prince and he looked at me with a smile.

The way that he smiled at me was almost as if he could already guess what I was about to say.

This was further proven when he said, "It's a show. This is something that has to be done."

I raised a brow to show that I was confused, but I didn't say anything as I waited for him to explain.

The fourth prince didn't say anything at first as he just calmly looked out the window. Looking at the people gathered there with a smile, he said, "This is a way to make sure that the people know that those at the top are still there and working hard for them. It's a way to assure them that they can depend on the leaders of this kingdom."

I was even more confused at first, but then I slowly realized what the fourth prince was talking about.

Even though the fourth prince had been taking care of business on my behalf during this time, I had been locked away in the castle. Well, it really wasn't being locked away in the castle as I had been staying there as a sort of honeymoon.

It could even be said that I was ignoring my work by staying in the castle during this time.

But now that period was over, it was time to show myself to the people to show that I was back to work.

I recognized this place also because of the time that I've spent in the capital.

One really couldn't spend time in the capital without learning about this place after all.

This place was the headquarters of the Alfried Company, the largest company in the kingdom.

This was the company that controlled most of the trade in the kingdom.

But there was another identity for this company.

There was a reason why we had come here.

This company was actually controlled by the royal family.

I had already known about this from the game, but this was also in the report that the fourth prince had handed me.

As the destination sank in, I understood why the fourth prince wanted to bring Haley here. However, there was also a part of this that I didn't understand.

After all, it wasn't as if Haley was a part of the Alfried Company in the first place, she was even the head of her own company. A company that was doing quite well recently and could be considered a competitor of the Alfried Company.

So I couldn't help worrying about the fourth prince's motives in bringing us here.

After a moment of silence, I asked, "Brother Noah, why are we here?"

The fourth prince was caught off guard when he heard this.

He had been heading out of the carriage, but he stopped and turned to look at me with a strange look when he heard me say this. He just kept looking at me with that same strange look before he slowly said, "What did you just call me?"

I raised a brow before repeating, "Brother Noah?"

There was nothing that was said as both of us just remained there in silence.
