"Vista Mundo Festival? Gosh, there's so much I want to know about this place," she thought to herself.
"Just beat them at their own game," she explained.
The crowd was perplexed by what the Crown Prince had said.
"Game?" advisor Sitte inquires.
"Game? Crown Prince, this is not a game "Rillth, the sixteenth elder, stated.
"Sorry for my words, what I mean by beating them at their own game is to let them experience what exactly they planned backfired on them, by catching them off guard," she mocked.
"And how do you propose doing it?" The second Elder inquires.
"We will create a situation they will never forget," she said with a sinister grin on her face.
The Hall was filled with whispers. They were dissatisfied with how the Crown Prince was now behaving. The King smiled and looked at his son; it was difficult to tell what was on his mind, but one thing was certain: he was in a good mood.
"We will sell our half of the reserve grains at market value at our kingdom warehouse. Is that the correct crown Prince?" According to King Martin.
"That's right, at least someone has a brain here," she admitted.
She looks around to see where that voice came from and is surprised to see that it came from King Martin, who is supposed to be her father.
"This King or my father is not simple; for him to know my intention, he knows me very well; I must be cautious; if he suspects something is amiss, he may flip," she warned herself.
"My King, what are the ramifications of your actions, your highness?" All of the elders ask in unison.
The King then looks at Prince Mix, implying that he will answer their questions in his place.
Prince Mix was taken aback and scratched his head, saying, "By doing this set of actions, they will be shocked, and they will be forced to sell their grains at a lower price." Then they will suffer a significant profit loss. This will ensure that they do not do it again. And you might wonder why they would be shocked and sell it at a lower price, and what would happen if we sold half of our reserve, if I'm correct. "
Almost everyone in the room agreed with the Crown Prince.
"They create a situation in which the price of grains rises due to hoarding, creating the illusion of a scarcity, and prices skyrocket. If we reverse it by dampening the market for grains in order to solve the shortage. And when the price begins to fall, we buy our grains with the expectation of making a large profit. Do you know how to make a profit, I'm guessing?" she stated
Again almost everyone in the hall nod for agreement with the Crown Prince.
King Martin smiled, and Advisor Sitte realized something and said "So, if you sell the grain reserve at the current price of 145 silvers, and the price falls to the expected market price of 85 silvers, we start buying our grains back at this price or even lower to maximize our profit. We will have a profit margin of about 60 silvers." He grinned and was overjoyed to find out.
The elders and the rest of the Advisors were taken aback when they discovered the father and son duo's true intentions. Is it the King who has already told the Crown Prince all of the solutions, or is it the Crown Prince who has solved it on his own? They will believe the former over the latter because it implies that the Crown Prince is a natural born leader or king who has pretended to be soft and weak in the past.
"Your Highness, what if they don't fall into the trap we've set for them?" The third elder, Massung, inquired and frowned.
"Hehe"
Prince Mix's laughter was so unexpected that everyone in the hall was staring at him silently.
"Even if you warn them, that will not happen because a merchant is a merchant, and they are always looking for a profit opportunity. However, if there is a sign of loss, they may panic. I'll show you two reasons why they'll get caught in the trap "She stated
"How so?" Third, Elder Massung realized he had fallen into one of the Crown Prince's traps again without realizing it.
"It's simple; they'll start panicking if prices fall." First, they purchased the grains at 85 silvers; if the price drops to 80 silvers, some may begin to sell, while others may not. They will be forced to choose between selling it at a loss and hoarding it until the price rises again. But what if the price does not rise but instead falls to 70 or even 60 silvers? This means that their profit loss has increased. In terms of shelf life, grains have a shelf life of 10 months. That means they'll have to sell it before it spoils, which will be a huge loss for them. "Do you have any other questions?" she asked.
"Shit, Good for nothing Prince, you duped me again, I'll get my revenge soon," the 3rd elder thought to himself.
And now almost all of them were taken aback, first by the Crown Prince's actions and then by Kind Martin's actions.
The Silver Brook Hall falls silent for an awkward moment. The meeting is then resumed by the Advisor Sitte.
The only three issues left for today's meeting are:
>The decrease in military recruits due to an increase in Kingdom Knights recruits
>Summer is near is the solution to the problem of ordinary people dying from heat
>The marriage of Crown Prince Mix with Princess Shera of the Kingdom of Searlino
The meeting went well. Almost everyone was waiting for the Crown Prince to reveal the solutions to the problems.
"This is giving me a headache! Because of my father's influence, these people listened to me. Better than my usual meetings where no one listened to me. You can't change the fact that some people crave attention "She thought to herself.
Concerning the third issue: The decrease in military recruits as a result of kingdom knights recruits increased
The proposed solutions combined King Martin's and Crown Prince Mix's ideas.
The first step is to establish a Combat Mage department.
The second is Mission Systems, which will provide more opportunities for Soldiers. It is only activated if the Kingdom is not in the midst of a war or crisis.
The third step is to organize a yearly competition with enticing prizes.
For the fourth issue: Summer is almost here, which is the solution to the problem of ordinary people dying from heat exhaustion.
The proposed solutions combined King Martin's and Crown Prince Mix's ideas.
To make three items that will aid ordinary people in the kingdom in surviving the summer.
Cooling storage - In the middle of the price range (10 gold to 35 gold)
Low-Cost Wind Amplifiers System (200 silvers to 300 silvers)
System of Advanced Cooling Wind Amplifiers Expensive (70 gold to 100 gold)
For the fifth issue: The marriage of Crown Prince Mix with Princess Shera of the Kingdom of Searlino
It was not a problem for Prince Mix at all.
"Hehe Advantageous Marriage for the Kingdom's Good, there is no problem for me. The only issue is whether or not the Princess will fall in love with me, hehe "she stated
"I doubt any woman will fall in love with this super feminine boy, unless that girl likes girly prince, hehe lol," she thought to herself.
The Crown Prince's response to the issue. When King Martin announced the marriage last night, the Crown Prince paled and excused himself. And now his reaction is to turn 180 degrees. It took them by surprise.
"Do you have a photo of Princess Shera?" she inquired.
"Excuse me, Crown Prince, but could you please take a picture? What exactly is it?" Advisor Frio.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry, what I mean is, do you have a portrait or physical description of this said Princess?" She stated.
A magical portrait of the Princess is passed by one of the Elders. And Prince Mix is looking at it.
"Seriously? Is she the Princess? Wow, she's simply stunning and hot "she stated
