"what happened to your hand?"
When Verina entered the room and sat on the sand in front of the coffee table, she observed Clarice's left hand wrapped in gauze
"It's okay.?" Claris said. "Just accidentally dropped a crystal cup and was scratched by fragments."
"Be more careful," Verina said.
They were silent for a while, and Velina asked again, "I haven't come to see you since you moved here. How are you living here?"
Clarice chuckled: "What's the difference?"
The horsewoman stood up, walked around in Clarice's room, and said, "How can it be different? Your house, which costs one day, is worth my salary for almost a month. "
Clarice thought Verina was joking, and she said, "Lord Dane won't even give you 80 gold coins a month? Why don't you come and do it with me, I'll give you a hundred times a month, how about it?"
Verina shook her head and said, "No need, eighty gold coins. It is enough to maintain equipment and weapons and horses. There is no need to spend money on food and accommodation in the barracks."
Clarice really felt a bit magical: "Do you really earn less than eighty a month?"
"What did I lie to you?"
"You ..." Clarice really had a hard time imagining this picture. The actual managers and controllers of Shawan Port, a prosperous and rich city, have only a small monthly income. To tell the truth, before, a pet dog raised by Clarice spent 100 yuan a month.
With such low treatment, isn't Dane afraid that Verina will betray her?
If Dane knew what Clarice was thinking, he would be helpless. It really isn't that he didn't give Verina money. In fact, Verina's current position in his power group should not be too high. In addition to Dane, she and Pehince also have Chapel privately regarded as the most important person in the entire territory. Chapul is in charge of the internal affairs of White Wolf Castle. Peixin is the head of the army and has the highest status. And Verina, she also has the status of legion, even if her legion is only a reserve legion. However, besides that, she will become the first mayor of Shawan Port City Government, which is almost a matter of course.
How could Dane just give her so much money for such a high person?
But there is no way, others don't.
Verina is telling the truth to Clarice. Eighty gold coins a month is enough to maintain her armor, weapons and horses, which is enough. According to her, a knight, only these things are the basis of her life, the others are not important.
What else can Dion do? Just follow her.
Actually, for Verina, she really didn't need those. She has no preference for luxury. She has a place to live and is satisfied. What she cares more about is that there is a place where she can show value, and that's enough.
In other words, Verina has no money, but power. Dane, in this respect, almost perfectly met her needs.
Clarice admires such a person who is firm in what she wants and not tempted by foreign objects.
The two chatted in the room for a while, and finally talked about the business.
"Bikeli has promised to be the Honorary Mayor of Shawan Port. I hope you can also be an Honorary Mayor, representing that the cooperation between the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce and Shawan Port is still close."
Clarice, who had already made a decision, directly rejected Verina's invitation.
Verina was a little disappointed. She was sure that Clarice would come to her side, and she felt very secure. For so long, Verina has more or less investigated the old history of Clarice in the Kingdom of Putri.
But if Clarice refuses to cooperate, she can only kill the killer towards Clarice.
This is really a pity.
As a result, Verina heard Clarice again say the words: "I don't want to be the honorary mayor, what I want is a true mayor's position."
"What do you mean?"
"Velina, I want to help you sincerely, and I want to join General Dane's camp?"
Verina froze for a moment, then a bright smile on her face-this was what she wanted most.
Clarice's attitude is already obvious. Mayor of Honor, the mayor's name, but the first two words are more important: ‘honor’. In fact, this is a position that seems to have a high status. In fact, it has no power at all and does not do much. Verina intends to give Beckley and Clarice this identity because of how much they need to give some respect to the Chamber of Commerce forces behind them.
Beckley's situation is relatively simple. The two sides are now in the honeymoon period, and this honeymoon period seems to continue for a long time, at least in the short term there is no possibility of ending. The situation of Clarice and the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce she represents behind is more complicated.
Earlier, Verina had received two letters from the Kingdom of Pudri. These two letters come from the two most powerful people in that kingdom: the queen and the prince.
The meaning of Prince Eastman is to leave Clarice's life and let her continue to run the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce in Shawan Port. Then the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce is irresponsible for the past and is willing to cooperate with the new government even if it gives up Some benefits are also okay ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But Queen Susan Bella thinks completely the opposite, she wants Clarice's head, as long as Sand Bay Port can do this, the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce will also cooperate Verina's actions.
That matter is relatively simple for Verina. Regardless of whether Clarice is alive or not, at least one of the two top bosses above the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce will continue to support Shawan Harbour.
Those two who are strong and weak are really bad, at least Verina has no way to judge. But it can be seen from a very simple place: Susan Bella still hates Clarice so much, you can imagine how big the beam between the two people was. However, in this case, Clarice still saved her life and was able to live well in the bay of Sand Bay. The abilities of Prince Hawkeye who worked for this can be imagined.
In this case, Verina is actually more inclined to choose to stand on the side of Prince Eagle Eye. As long as Clarice can serve Dane, not only will this woman be fine, but she may have more power in the new government in the future.
Of course, if Clarice is unwilling, Verina does not want a person who is not low in status but not cooperative in the city she manages. No matter how much she admired Clarice personally, I'm afraid she would kill her directly and use her head to please Her Majesty.
Fortunately, Clarice himself made a wise choice.
