My Maids Are All Antagonists! - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Greed!

“Bring it over and let me try it!”

Andrew reached out his hand and asked the guard to pass the small glass bottle over.

The guard stepped forward and respectfully handed over the perfume.

Andrew held the glass bottle in his hand and dripped a few drops of the perfume from the bottle.

The strong fragrance instantly wafted in the air again.

The ministers below stared at the perfume with the fragrance.

If it wasn’t in Andrew’s hand, they would have snatched it directly.

“Your Majesty, please rub it on your wrist and apply it on your neck to maximize the magical effect of this perfume.”

Just as Andrew was hesitating on how to use it, William Lowe promptly and appropriately told him.

Andrew followed William Lowe’s instructions.

As an advanced knight, the skin on his body was as tough as a magic beast’s hide.

Even if the liquid in the glass bottle was a strong corrosive potion, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Andrew dripped some of the liquid on his hand and applied it directly to his neck, and it immediately emitted a unique scent like roses in the hot summer.

The rose fragrance bags in the palace were far from this level, even the King was surprised.

As for, the ministers below, they were even more envious.

After all, they couldn’t even use something like the rose fragrance bags often.

Andrew was delighted.

If the Queen caught a waft of this fragrance, it would definitely help temporarily ease her mind from the matter of Faith’s escape.

As such, he definitely couldn’t give the perfume to anyone else.

Thinking of this, Andrew made a move that no one had expected.

They watched as Andrew directly put the bottle of perfume into his robe.

While he did this, he was acting as if nothing had happened as he sat back in his original position.

The ministers below were all dumbfounded.

They still wanted to study this for a little while more, how could you put it away so quickly? You are the King! By doing such a thing, do you not want your face? Even if you don’t want your face, how could you put it away before they could understand thoroughly what it was? He was really going too far!

Everyone looked at Andrew with resentment, but no one dared to go forward and say anything.

Putting aside the other party’s identity as the King, just his identity as an advanced knight alone would stifle any complaints from his subordinates.

At this moment, Andrew, who was sitting on the throne, questioned casually, “This is quite a good item. Do you have more, Lowe?”

William Lowe was speechless when he heard the King’s question.

I’ve already said that this thing is a magical item. It can’t be that you take me for a wholesale market, right?

“Your Majesty, I went through a lot of trouble to get my hands on this. Currently, in the entire kingdom, there is only this one bottle of perfume.”

William Lowe had naturally done some research before he gave the perfume to the King.

This thing was definitely exclusive.

There were no other places that had it, and there were no similar things on the market.

This was also why William Lowe was so confident in the effects of giving the perfume to the King.

After all, who wouldn’t love something exclusive?

Andrew also knew that greed was not good. He looked at William Lowe, who had a look of anticipation on his face.

As a King, his subordinate had given him such a gift, thus he had to reward him no matter what.

“Thank you for thinking of me. By the way, how are the wine preparations for the palace this year?”

“Your Majesty, they are all ready and can be supplied at any time.”

William Lowe was immediately delighted when he heard Andrew’s words.

As the largest wine supplier of the palace, his biggest customer was the palace, and his biggest source of profit was to provide wine to the palace.

The logic was easy to understand.

Many noble families had their own manors, so it was no problem for them to provide wine for themselves.

The commoners also loved to drink, but how many gold coins could a commoner have?

On the contrary, in the palace, there was a huge amount of wine required for the banquets each year.

The King did not operate his own winery, he made sure there was wine by buying them.

How could the palace lack gold coins?

Therefore, everyone was jealous of the profits one could earn as such.

William Lowe’s business was also being sidelined by the other nobles’ wineries, and it was becoming more and more difficult for him to continue the business.

This year, everyone wanted to take over the position as the palace’s main wine supplier, and William Lowe was originally also very worried.

But now it was completely different.

With Andrew’s words, he was now appointed as the palace’s wine contractor.

Who else could compete with that?

And all this was because of the bottle of perfume that he had gifted the King!

His determination in gritting his teeth and gifting the perfume was not in vain.

It was so worth it!

William Lowe remembered Ron was the one who had brought back the perfume.

This kid had made a great contribution!

Reward!

He had to give him a huge reward!

When he returned, he would first transfer Ron back from the city defense team, then put him in charge of establishing cooperation with the other party in the perfume business.

He had to monopolize this business!

If needed, control over the other party’s freedom of movement was also necessary.

When he thought of the countless gold coins that would flow into his pocket in the future, his mood began to swell!

As expected, it still depended on me to restore the glory of the William Family!

William Lowe, who was in a splendid mood, was already immersed in the beautiful dream of restoring the glory of the Family.

“Well, that’s for the best. If there’s nothing else, the lot of you can leave now.”

After saying that, Andrew took the lead and walked out, not giving the ministers a chance to speak at all.

Just with a glance, it was obvious that he wanted to test out the new thing that he had just gotten.

He had probably even forgotten about Faith’s matter.

Everyone looked at each other. His Majesty had already left, what were they still doing here?

Let’s go, time to leave.

William Lowe tidied up his clothes and was prepared to leave the palace.

He had only taken a few steps before he was surrounded.

“Count William, wait a moment!”

“Count William, wait for me!”

“Count William, please wait for me!”

The ministers, regardless of whether they had good or bad relationships with him, all came over.

They surrounded William Lowe in a circle.

The purpose of everyone surrounding him was very simple.

They wanted to know what this perfume was and how it could smell so good.

If there was an extra bottle, could they have one as well?

William Lowe’s expression was bitter when he heard this question.

“Ministers, to be honest, I only have this one bottle.”

Hearing that there was only one bottle, the enthusiasm on the faces of many ministers instantly dissipated.

However, after a slight pause, William Lowe continued, “I do have a way to get more perfume though, it’ll just take time.”

Once he sent Ron and the family guards to get the perfume formula, he could manufacture as much perfume as he wanted.

As for Eddie and the others, William Lowe knew that this little Lord knew magic, but the guards he would send were all elites, and thus he wasn’t afraid that this little mage wouldn’t comply with his requests.

“When the profit reaches 10%, people will start to have ideas. When the profit reaches 50%, there will be people who will dare to take the risks. When the profit reaches 100%, people will dare to trample over the laws. And when the profit reaches 300%, they don’t even have fear of the gallows.”

William Lowe was clearly immersed in a great deal of greed.
