Chapter 306 - Reliable Prince Mo

"So these are the blueprints that you requested. Tell me your thoughts about it."

Rhea quickly realized that her engagement with Mo Li is actually the best way to make her tasks easier. For instance, recruiting people was really easy. Mo Li already had a lot of trusted people that Rhea could use for the project. "Hmmm… This palace is too luxurious." Rhea said. Her next problem is actually making money to create this palace.

Now that she thought about it, this is truly laughable. As someone who was considered a saint, she was honestly pitiful when it comes to money.

"Are you sure you are going to build something like this?"

"Of course," Rhea nodded. After a few seconds, she added, "Please take me to see a merchant." Right now, the only one that could help her is the richest organization in this empire.

"A merchant? Are you planning on selling something?"

"Yes, I am." She answered almost immediately.

"I thought you are going to accept donations— "

"I am not the church."

This silenced Mo Li. He stared at her, questions apparent in his eyes. Seeing this, she added, "I am building a new palace that is not connected to the church or the empire."

"A new palace…" Mo Li mumbled before he smiled and nodded. "Alright, I will introduce you to a good merchant."

This is just one of the reasons why Rhea found Mo Li really reliable. First and foremost, he isn't asking any questions. He would just smile and nod. Second, it seems that Mo Li's influence is endless. As a prince, this isn't something unique. Moreover, all of the people that Mo Li introduced her so far were reliable. Mo Li also assured her that all of them can be trusted.

After a few days, Mo Li introduced her to another reliable person. A merchant named Edris. This person was not only the owner of the biggest auction house on the continent. He is also an important person in the black market.

"I never expected that the priestess is willing to part with her talismans." At first, Edris couldn't believe that the assistant of the Priestess would actually come here and sell some talismans. Those talismans were very rare and valuable. Auctioning them would be very expensive.

"Yes, this is very unexpected indeed." Obviously, the 'assistant' that the Priestess sent was still Rhea in disguised. Since she helped those people a few days ago, there have been a lot of people waiting for her to leave every day. Because of this, it is getting harder and harder for her to leave the house.

Disguising herself as the servant is the only way that she could come to the auction house to sell some of her talismans. "Alright then… I hope the priestess could really join us for the auction tomorrow. Here is a special VVIP card that we grant to our most important customers." Edris handed her a card that looked transparent but immediately turned black once she touched it. Then he explained. "It looked just like our VIP card. However, once one of our employees touches it, it would automatically turn transparent. This is something unique to only Blossom Auction House, and no one can imitate this type of magic." He smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Edris." Rhea smiled. Right now, she was wearing simple male clothes. Her hair was tied in a bun. She also altered her physical appearance to make her look a bit more masculine.

After saying goodbye to the old man, she decided to spend some time in the capital, walking around and enjoying the view.

"Have you heard? The Princess Consort is pregnant!"

"Really? But… they aren't married yet!"

"I know! This is big news. Please tell me that you won't share it with anyone else."

These are the most common conversation that she heard as she passed by the stalls that sell various products and food.

"Don't tell anyone else."

"This is a secret, you shouldn't share it with other people."

Everyone was telling other people not to share the news. However, it seems that everyone in the marketplace already knew about the news.

"Hey, how much is this corn?" she asked one of the stalls.

"One copper coin…" the man who answered wasn't that old. He looked robust and healthy middle-aged guy. "Have you heard about the current rumor?" Just as she expected, the old man started speaking about Amanda's pregnancy. Obviously, he also ended it with, "I hope you won't tell anyone about it."

This news…

It seems that someone is purposely spreading the news about the pregnancy!

Rhea just smiled as she accepted the corn and started eating it. She approached a few more stalls and discovered that all of them would immediately tell their customers about the rumor, then advised them not to spread it. Isn't that weird? Rhea wanted to laugh.

Right now, she could only think of the people that wanted everyone to know about this. That would be the church.

Because of this rumor, it would be hard for Gaspar and the whole Larsen Family to withdraw from the cooperation.

"Have you heard about the news?"

"Huh?" Rhea almost jumped when she heard Mo Li's voice. She turned towards him and discovered that he was leaning too close. She leaned back. "What are you doing?" Was he following her?

Earlier, Rhea actually decided to sneak out without informing him. This was because she wanted to roam around this place without anyone watching her all the time.

"I happened to walk by the stalls and saw you." Mo Li was shamelessly smiling at her. It was a blatant lie, and both of them knew that.

"Are you following me?" He is a Prince, right? He should be a very busy individual.

"What? Of course not! I was just roaming around."

Another lie. And she is starting to feel a little irritated. "Leave me alone. I'm busy." She didn't even know how he recognized her. She was certain that she no longer looked like the previous Rhea.

"Oh, then let me come with you!"

Huh? She lifted an eyebrow. Did she ask him to accompany her? Maybe Mo Li didn't hear her words? "Prince…"

"Call me Li. No one knows us here." He winked before pulling her towards another store. This time, it was a stall that sells sweets.
