The homebody witch looked at Senior Mia beside her and said with a smile.

She believed that Senior's Golden Country would surely be dazzling inside and out, so she planned to visit at that time.

"Little Fairy..."

The Golden Princess, on the other hand, felt a bit embarrassed.

Actually, she was just boasting a little just now, though she sincerely hoped for it and was working towards that direction. However, whether she could really achieve it, she wasn't entirely sure herself.

Though her face was somewhat bashful, nothing compared to the joy brought by the support and trust of her beloved.

This little fairy truly knows how to warm people's hearts. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Mia couldn't help but directly embrace her beloved in front of her, pressing her head to her chest, a sudden face-washing ambush.

"Oh my, Senior, what are you doing? I can't breathe, everyone is watching!"

Although Dorothy actually quite enjoyed it, she wouldn't have said anything in a private secluded environment. But now many people were watching, she felt a bit embarrassed.

Though when Senior finally let her go, the homebody witch felt a bit regretful.

Indeed, she is a person who is indecisive, pretentious.

"Alright, since we're not going into the city, let's head back."

She and Senior Mia walked towards Sitle not far away, ready to pick up materials and formally start the shipbuilding plan.

But...

"Wait..."

Suddenly, someone called out to them, making them turn back to see Melantha striding towards them.

"Uh, Miss Melantha, is there something else?"

Dorothy asked with some confusion, after all, she had just refused Silver Princess's suggestion.

"I wanted to ask again if Miss really doesn't need warship materials?"

The witch, in a handsome suit with an imposing aura amidst her cool demeanor, didn't waste any words and directly asked.

"I do, but Miss Melantha, I can't afford your price."

The homebody witch decisively refused.

Warship materials, of course, the more, the better. Even with Chris Lineage's sponsorship, it's only barely enough for now.

After all, Dorothy built six warship workshops in one go, and if all workshops were to start operations, the material consumption would be vast. Although Chris Lineage's alchemy is powerful, they couldn't drop their main business of casting gold coins and solely supply materials to Stars Industry.

Therefore, material suppliers are indeed welcome for Dorothy.

And this Silver Princess, being the Queen of Arms in Golden Country, had most of Golden Country's arms dealings under her control, hence her sources were presumably more abundant than Chris Lineage's.

"No, this time there's no cost. Though becoming your friend overnight is hard, I hope we can aim to become friends while temporarily cooperating."

Melantha first shook her head, then her silver dragon eyes directly met the homebody witch's gaze, her eyes sincerely genuine this time.

Indeed, the more Miss values friends, the more Melantha wants to become her friend.

She wants to see what charm this individual has to attract so many big shots, even causing her usually indifferent sister Mia to lose composure and abandon the readily achievable future mistress position for her.

Moreover, to speak honestly, Melantha actually has very few friends.

After all, among merchants, true friends are rare; to put it bluntly, in Melantha's past considerations, friends were high-level commodities meant to fetch a good price.

As for genuine friendship, she really doesn't understand this, it falls within her blind spot of knowledge.

But just now, standing from afar, watching Mia suddenly embrace Miss as if holding the most cherished treasure in the world, the face adorned with a sincere smile was a beauty Melantha had never seen before.

At that moment, her heart couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

Actually, Melantha wasn't too fond of her cousin Mia, who snatched her original first heir position; after all, no one likes someone who takes away their cake.

However, while feeling displeased, the Silver Princess also somewhat admired the Golden Princess; even if she felt unwilling, she couldn't deny that this cousin was indeed more capable, whether it's talent, ability, or judgment, she excelled in every way.

Whenever she thought of this, Melantha often buried her face in her pillow, secretly crying; this feeling of being overwhelmed in every aspect is truly daunting, sometimes causing her to lament why fate treated her this way, why, despite having her in Golden Country, was Mia born too, making her seem so redundant.

But since fate was sealed, Melantha didn't continue blaming and lamenting, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

Indeed, let go of internal competition and enjoy life.

Why should she compare with others, she indeed couldn't surpass Mia as her sister, but Mia also couldn't surpass The Third King, thinking this way balanced her mindset quite a bit.

Since her first heir position was pushed to second, Melantha directly abandoned the numerous courses originally required as the rightful heir.
