Chapter 832 Take over


    ??All of a sudden, the fourth prince revealed a smile and said, "I''m happy that you''re willing to call me that, but now isn''t the time for that. I think that when we''re in public, you should address me as prime minister."


    I was surprised to hear the fourth prince...no, the prime minister say this since this waspletely different from how he acted before.


    If this was before, he would have insisted that I kept calling him brother or Noah.


    It seemed that after taking his role, he had matured a bit...


    No, he was always mature before, it was just that he was acting this way around me.


    He had acted in a way that he couldn''t act around others before with me, but now he was holding that side of him back. Or at least, he was doing that while we were in public.


    After being surprised, I gave a slow nod since I didn''t disagree with this.


    But the problem was that the prime minister didn''t say anything past this.


    It was as if he ignored the second half of what I said.


    After saying what he wanted to say, he turned around and headed out the carriage before standing there like he was waiting for us.


    Haley had been watching and listening from the side since she also wanted to know what we were doing here.


    Haley naturally recognized that this was the headquarters of the Alfried Company, so she also wanted to know what was happening here.


    It wasn''t just for her own curiosity, but also for herpany.


    But since the prime minister wouldn''t say anything, there was nothing that they could do about it.


    In the end, all they could do was follow the prime minister into the headquarters of the Alfried Company.


    The moment that they came in, there was a person that came over to lead them into the back.


    It seemed like there was no need to even check in at the front desk, it seemed that the prime minister had already prepared everything. That was why there was someone that was even waiting for them when they came in.


    This person led them to the back and brought them to a meeting room before leaving them alone.


    It seemed like they were waiting for someone, but it didn''t take long for that someone to arrive.


    The moment that this person arrived, the first thing that they did was...


    They went right up to the prime minister and bowed to him, as if they knew exactly who he was. After that, this person said, "Your highness, it is an honour for us to have you visit. May I know what your purpose in visiting today is?"


    The prime minister narrowed his eyes when he heard this before calmly saying, "Carlos, I am no longer a prince, so you shouldn''t be addressing me as your highness."


    The Alfried Company representative that the prime minister called Carlos was surprised to hear this, but he quickly gave a nod and said, "Yes, yes, it was my mistake. I hope that your high...my lord will not mind this."


    The prime minister shook his head before saying, "Just call me prime minister like everyone else."


    Carlos'' eyes opened wide when he heard this, but he quickly gave a nod in response before saying, "Then sir prime minister, is there anything that your humble servant can do today?"


    The prime minister narrowed his eyes again after hearing this, but he didn''t reprimand him this time as he said, "There''s someone that I wanted you to meet today. In the future, they will be an important person for yourpany."


    Carlos was visibly surprised to hear this since he didn''t expect this, but he waited to see what the prime minister had to say.


    The prime minister gestured to me and simply said, "This is our new king."


    The look on Carlos'' face was almost as if he couldn''t understand what the prime minister had just said. It took him a while before that expression disappeared and it seemed like he was slowly understanding what the prime minister said.


    However, as he started to understand this, there was a different expression that appeared on his face.


    It was a cautious one, but there was also a trace of worry in his eyes.


    Almost as if he was afraid of what I would do.


    That wasn''t strange since I was the new king.


    Since this was apany that was run by the royal family, I had technically be the new boss of this ce.


    For me toe right after taking the throne, there must be something that I wanted from them which was never a good thing.


    After a long silence, Carlos'' expression changed once more.


    He revealed a smile like a professional merchant and said, "Your majesty, it is an honour for us to have you visit. Is there anything that your humble servant can do?"


    I couldn''t help being surprised by how shameless he was.


    He put on a smile and said the exact same thing that he said to the prime minister to me.


    It was as if he wasn''t bothered by the fact how this made him seem hypocritical at all.


    It was as if he only cared about doing what he thought was the best for him and hispany.


    It also made me admire the shamelessness that he had.


    This was just how a merchant was since shamelessness was the best way to sell their goods.


    I gave a cough to calm myself before saying, "I''m just here for a visit. It''s the prime minister who has business with you."


    Carlos revealed a bitter look again, but that quickly faded as he turned back to look at the prime minister.


    The prime minister revealed a faint smile that almost seemed like he was teasing Carlos, but he still said, "I''m here to announce that someone will be taking over thispany as of today."


    All of us looked at him in shock when we heard this.
