Chapter 832 Take over
All of a sudden, the fourth prince revealed a smile and said, "I'm happy that you're willing to call me that, but now isn't the time for that. I think that when we're in public, you should address me as prime minister."
I was surprised to hear the fourth prince...no, the prime minister say this since this was completely different from how he acted before.
If this was before, he would have insisted that I kept calling him brother or Noah.
It seemed that after taking his role, he had matured a bit...
No, he was always mature before, it was just that he was acting this way around me.
He had acted in a way that he couldn't act around others before with me, but now he was holding that side of him back. Or at least, he was doing that while we were in public.
After being surprised, I gave a slow nod since I didn't disagree with this.
But the problem was that the prime minister didn't say anything past this.
It was as if he ignored the second half of what I said.
After saying what he wanted to say, he turned around and headed out the carriage before standing there like he was waiting for us.
Haley had been watching and listening from the side since she also wanted to know what we were doing here.
Haley naturally recognized that this was the headquarters of the Alfried Company, so she also wanted to know what was happening here.
It wasn't just for her own curiosity, but also for her company.
But since the prime minister wouldn't say anything, there was nothing that they could do about it.
In the end, all they could do was follow the prime minister into the headquarters of the Alfried Company.
Almost as if he was afraid of what I would do.
That wasn't strange since I was the new king.
Since this was a company that was run by the royal family, I had technically become the new boss of this place.
For me to come right after taking the throne, there must be something that I wanted from them which was never a good thing.
After a long silence, Carlos' expression changed once more.
He revealed a smile like a professional merchant and said, "Your majesty, it is an honour for us to have you visit. Is there anything that your humble servant can do?"
I couldn't help being surprised by how shameless he was.
He put on a smile and said the exact same thing that he said to the prime minister to me.
It was as if he wasn't bothered by the fact how this made him seem hypocritical at all.
It was as if he only cared about doing what he thought was the best for him and his company.
It also made me admire the shamelessness that he had.
This was just how a merchant was since shamelessness was the best way to sell their goods.
I gave a cough to calm myself before saying, "I'm just here for a visit. It's the prime minister who has business with you."
Carlos revealed a bitter look again, but that quickly faded as he turned back to look at the prime minister.
The prime minister revealed a faint smile that almost seemed like he was teasing Carlos, but he still said, "I'm here to announce that someone will be taking over this company as of today."
All of us looked at him in shock when we heard this.
