Walking into his office, Alfred saw Anton waiting for him, reading through a couple of documents. Even when Alfred summoned him, the man never stopped working, and it was one of the things Alfred loved about him. "Thank you. I know you are busy." Alfred said politely, taking a seat at his desk.
Anotn quickly finished up what he was doing, sighing the bottom of the paper and putting his seal on it before facing Alfred. "What is it you wished for, Your Majesty."
"An investment opportunity." Anotn's ears perked up hearing that, and he leaned in closer." As you know, the Empire will begin its conquest soon. But we have a problem once it is complete. Chent. They are a weak nation, but everyone East of them will come to their defence if we forcefully invade them. So I was wondering how you would like to set up a branch within the City States."
