The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357: The Price of Love Is Beyond Gold

But then again ... she was also the Queen of Noctvaris. So maybe ... this amount of money could be considered reasonable? Besides, Edmund had given it from his personal wealth, not the royal treasury.

"This is nothing compared to your worth in my eyes," Edmund said softly, showing a warm smile on his face.

[She could even ask for my very life, and I would gladly give it to her.]

Oh, for heaven’s sake, she would never ask for his life!

"Will this money be enough for you to buy some plots of land?" Edmund asked gently.

Primrose cupped his face, hardly believing he would ask something so obvious. "Of course it’s enough! More than enough!"

With this, she could probably buy land as vast as a palace and still have plenty of gold left over.

"Do you want me to help you find some land here?" Edmund asked. "I know people who are experts at land trading. They might even give you a good price."

Primrose had thought of buying land back in her homeland, but when she remembered the Emperor’s behavior and how it could stir political trouble in the future, she realized it might be safer to buy property in Noctvaris instead.

Still, there was a problem. If she bought too much land under her own name here, people might start whispering that she was wasting the royal treasury, even if the money was her own.

Besides that, what if one day Edmund stepped down from the throne? Wouldn’t that mean they’d have to leave the kingdom?

She didn’t think it would happen anytime soon, but what about their child? Once Edmund was gone, their child would have to fight other beasts to claim the throne.

If their child refused to fight, then they would have no choice but to leave Noctvaris.

"Husband ... what if I buy land outside of Noctvaris’s territory? Do you think that’s possible?" Primrose asked carefully. "I just think it would be safer for our child to inherit land without complicated political issues. Somewhere peaceful where they could always escape if needed."

Perhaps she could even buy land in the place where Edmund had once wanted to build a home for her, a safe haven far away from all danger. She didn’t know if he still planned to build that house in this lifetime, but remembering it now made her heart ache a little.

"It’s possible." Edmund’s gaze deepened, his hand brushing her cheek with tenderness. "I’ll ask some experts to help you buy land in a safe kingdom, maybe somewhere by the ocean. I already have plenty of business partners across the continent."

So, Primrose had been right. He wasn’t only selling Moonfire rum in Noctvaris!

"Was it Moonfire rum?" she asked curiously.

Edmund shrugged lightly. "If a kingdom has many beasts, I sell Moonfire. But if beasts are rare there, I sell rum for humans instead." He admitted, "Your father taught me."

Even though Noctvaris was known as the land of beasts, there were, in truth, beasts who lived quietly among humans. If the region was friendly enough, they didn’t need to hide. But most of the time, they disguised themselves as humans instead of showing their true forms.

Maybe that was why Edmund had been able to expand his business network so widely.

But wait ... why was Edmund even wealthier than Lazarus, when her father had been the one to teach him business in the first place?!

"Husband, do you actually have other businesses besides rum?" Primrose asked, her eyes filled with curiosity. "You’ve never mentioned it to me before."

Edmund thought for a moment, then said, "I actually only have two businesses: distilleries and ... a merchant fleet."

Primrose blinked in surprise. "Merchant fleet? You mean ... a shipping company that transports goods from one place to another?"

Edmund nodded. "Have you heard of the Lunar Crest Fleet?"
