Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 45: Trade Between Territories

Of course, to make all of this happen, Sharky needed the support of the nearby rulers.

But now since he was also a Baron himself, it was not so difficult. Fortunately, things have been going smoothly so far.

Just by leaking some information, many people had taken the initiative to arrange meetings with him.

It seemed that the situation was quite good.

During the next period of time, Sharky once again became busy.

Not too long after returning home, Sharky began to visit the every southern rulers’ residences to engage in discussions with them.

And like that, everything went very smoothly.

The southern rulers could choose to pay the value in crops or other agricultural products.

He and Luna’s family would provide resources for the various rulers, who would then sell them themselves.

This way, all three parties would gain profits.

Even though Sharky was unable to gain massive profits, this will keep a leash on the both rulers, and they have to depend on him for their profits.

At the same time, because of the northern side’s climate, crops and other agricultural resources were much more expensive than in the south, and furs and slaves were relatively cheap.

On the other hand, it was the opposite in the south.

When buying furs and slaves from the northern rulers, Sharky could use crops and the like as security.

After reaching the southern side, he could ask the southern rulers to use crops and agricultural resources as payment.

For the northern rulers, Sharky’s actions could solve their problem of oversupply of furs and slaves, while being paid in large amounts of crops would reduce the pressure they faced in terms of food.

For the southern rulers, it was not difficult to sell those furs or slaves. No matter if it was traveling merchants or sending their own people to other places to sell them, they could earn large profits without too much effort.

Moreover, for the southern side, who had large amounts of crops and food, using those resources as security and payment was no problem either.

After all, the southern rulers’ poverty was only a money-based poverty.

Crops and food were not a big problem at all.

Sharky’s plan solved this for them.

While Sharky was busy with work in the southern side, back in the palace, Jasmine finally received a letter from him.

"This letter... is it really for me?" Jasmine looked at it in surprise.

"Yes," the female attendant nodded. "Knight Sharky sent it especially for you."

"I see..." Jasmine softly replied. Just hearing his name made her heart ache a little.

She quickly opened the letter and began reading.

"Dear Jasmine,"

"By the time you read this, I’ll probably already be on my way home. I didn’t realize how fast time passed—it’s been a year in Alexa Royal City.

I’ve met many people here, but the one I’m happiest to know... is you."

Reading those words, Jasmine’s hands trembled slightly, and her heart beat faster.

"Even though we didn’t spend much time together, I really enjoyed every moment with you.

So please... wait for me. Because when I come back, I want to spend more time with you—just the two of us."

Then, he had written a short, heartfelt poem.

"Without you, every moment feels incomplete,

Like a song with no rhythm, a heart with no beat.

When I return, I’ll hold you near,

And in every moment, I’ll keep you dear."

Sitting on her big bed, Jasmine read the letter many times, and her heartbeat became faster and faster.

"Is this a confession?" she thought to herself while sitting on her bed, and her face became incredibly red as if she was drunk.

Sitting there, she continuously paced about, unable to control her emotions.

At that moment, she felt an impulse to go and find her Knight and tell him of her feelings. She wanted to tell him that she was looking forward to him coming back and also wanted to be with him every day.

However, looking at her locked door, she lowered her head in disappointment.

Earlier, she had been forbidden to go out by Parizaad.

Before, she could occasionally go out and meet with Sharky at Kelly’s residence.

However, Parizaad had become quite busy and much stricter recently for some reason, and she did not allow her out anymore, no matter how much she pleaded with her.

Thinking about how serious Parizaad looked recently, Jasmine could only sigh and look forward to the future.

After this period passed and big sister Parizaad finished dealing with her various matters, Sharky would most likely be back.

When that time comes, they will be able to meet again...

Deep longing welled up in her heart, and looking at the letter in her hand, she could not help but hope that Sharky would come back sooner.

After thinking about it, she could not help but get up and pick up a pen and paper as she began to write her own letter.

---

On the other side, within a hall, Parizaad sat at the center and was dealing with various matters.

Recently, she had felt very hard-pressed. All kinds of things continuously weighed down on her.

Combined with her little brother’s actions, she became even more anxious, and she busied herself with various things.

It was different from the past, when Sharky can hold her in his arms, and she just needs to blushed a little, and struggle a little. But now, she looked very different.

"Your Highness..." a black-robed servant came up and said respectfully.

"Is Jasmine demanding to go out again?" Parizaad rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

During this period, her little sister had always been noisily demanding to go out, and she tried all kinds of ways to get out, making her feel incredibly annoyed.

Seeing the servant looking after Jasmine coming over, she guessed that Jasmine was making a ruckus again.

However, she was surprised to see the female servant shake her head.

"No," the female servant said with a respectful expression, "Her Highness Jasmine did not ask to go out; rather, she asked for a letter of hers to be delivered."

"Just delivering a letter?"

Parizaad felt quite surprised and nodded, "That’s not an issue; let her send it if she wants. However, I estimate that Snarky is most likely at his father’s territory now, so this letter will most likely take some time to reach him."

"But that’s Sharky, why does he send the letters to both of us. And why is mine different from her, and even knowing I am already going to become him, how can he involve another girl."

Parizaad started complaining, she also knew about the things which happened between Selina and Sharky.

At the time, when the letter was delivered, both of the letters came in the Parizaad’s hands. First she was angry at Sharky’s, that he was a womanizer, and wanted to take the both sisters, and even his subordinates daughter was not escaped from his clutches.

But then, she thought, it was also good, if her sister lived with her, then she would not have any problem sharing his husband with her sister. And about her subordinate daughter, well, she will just be a concubine.

Then she read the letter for Jasmine, it was so good, and like a confession, which makes any girl blushed and happy.

Then she opened her letters, and it was like.

"Darling Parizaad,"

"Are you waiting for me? If not, when I will return. I will give you some family punishment. It will teach you how to wait for your husband. And also don’t forget to regularly shave your sacred forest’s hairs. Because I don’t like them."

"And most important, always wash your beautiful breasts with the milk, it will make them softer. So, I will play with them."

"If you do not do any of these things. Be ready for the family punishment."

"My love, obedience is your duty,

Clean hair, supple breasts, for my pleasure.

Disregard my wishes, and you’ll see,

The punishment that awaits your leisure."

"I am your husband, Sharky, your lord,

Your body, your soul, mine to command.

Heed my words, or face my stern reward,

In my domain, I’ll make my demands."

"Your husband, Sharky."

It was literally the opposite of Jasmine letter, instead of requests, there were demands, the erotic demands.

It was good that no one has seen the letter. If someone has seen this, she also doesn’t know how to appear in front of other people. All her reputation will be destroyed in minutes.

It makes her more angry. She was also going to reply to him through the letter, but after reading it, she didn’t reply.

Even she became angry with Sharky. She has completed his demands. She now regularly cleans her downwards hair, and she also washed her breasts with the milk.

She smiled and thought to herself before saying, "That’s right, what has Sharky been doing recently? Is there any news from over there?"

"Knight Sharky has been quite busy," the female servant thought before telling Parizaad what she knew.

"Trade alliance? North and south trade?" Parizaad listened as she went through her documents.

At first, she was just casually listening, but soon, she stopped what she was doing and her expression became more serious.

"Bring me all the information related to this," she said in the end with a serious expression.

After a while, all relevant information was brought over.

Everything that Sharky had done was recorded in great detail.

Ordinary people naturally would not be observed so closely, nor would there be such detailed information about them.

But since then, she has decided to become his wife. She wants a good husband for her, not a scumbag.

If Sharky was dominating, it was okay, but not the scumbag. Because of this, she has given instructions to her subordinates to gather information on him.

Parizaad soon read through the pile of information, and the more she read, the more serious her expression became.

"Incredible, incredible..."

After putting down the documents, she sat there and muttered, "Why didn’t I think of this before?"

Selling the north’s oversupply of furs and slaves to the south, while selling the south’s large amount of crops to the north. This was a very simple idea, and as long as one could do it, one could obtain massive profits.

However, no one had ever created such a profitable trade route before.

It was partially because of a limitation of thinking.

Even though this world had powerful existences like Knights, it was quite lacking in many areas.

The nobles’ thinking was quite restricted, and they only thought about milking their subjects.

Even if they turned their gazes to places outside their territory, it was usually for taking other people’s territory. They rarely thought about economic development like this.

In their territory, everyone could only plant wheat and other grain crops, those who disobeyed would be hung.

Under such circumstances, there would naturally be little economic development.

Apart from their limited thinking, they were also restricted by geography.

The Alexa Principality was made up of many nobles’ territories, and going from north to south, one had to pass through many rulers’ territories.

Each ruler would want to earn some profits, which would result in conflicts.

There was also risk hidden in this venture.

Adding on how chaotic this world was, there were always bandits around, adding to the danger.

Even if one could resolve these issues, there was the fact that the northern rulers were closed off to outsiders.

All in all, there were many barriers to this.

It was because it was so difficult that no one had done this in the past.

In just a moment, Parizaad could imagine the kinds of problems that Sharky had faced when setting this up.

What shocked her was that despite all the difficulties, Sharky overcame them all and achieved this.

"Just how did he do it?" Parizaad could not help but think to herself, and she became happy that her husband was amazing.

Before, she had just seen Sharky as a Baron’s son, Jason’s student, and a potential Knight, although even that was good for her.

She had never thought that Sharky would also be so capable in such a regard apart from these prestigious identities.

Within the hall, Parizaad silently thought to herself.

As the north-south trade progressed, Sharky would become more and more powerful, and very rich.

As time went on, no matter if it was the northern rulers or southern rulers, they would become closer and dependent on Sharky.

Moreover, except for dominating her, Sharky has only good qualities. He was a virtuous and almost perfect Knight.

Parizaad had a lot of experience, but only those who committed themselves to their Knight training could compare to Sharky in some regards.

Many thoughts flashed through Parizaad’s mind. Then she started writing a letter. Although before she didn’t want to, after hearing the Sharky achievement, she replied to him. After checking two to three times, she gives the letter to her female servant.

"Send someone to quickly deliver both mine and Jasmine’s letter," she raised her head and said.

"Yes, Your Highness," the female servant nodded before leaving.
