    The next day, after the language class, Ella wanted to go to the work area again, but Tetis stopped her this time.

    "It's very chaotic over there. If His Highness has something to tell us directly, why bother to go there?"

    Tetis was willing to take Ella to the working area yesterday to let her get acquainted with the palace, but she still felt that it was not for a noble princess like Ella to go there.

    And Tetis hasn't forgotten that Ella has a history of running away before, she is really afraid that Ella will run away again.

    Seeing her disapproval, Aila had no choice but to agree.

    "Then help me find a blacksmith, a stonemason and a carpenter. I have something for them to do."

    Tetis knew that Ella had been drawing since she came back yesterday, and Ella even asked Tetis to help translate some annotations into Sathiya characters, so she more or less knew what Ella wanted to do, but she didn't quite understand it.Understand their purpose.

    After Tetis responded, she told Ona Ali to go to the craftsman, and she stayed by Ella's side.

    Aila saw something from her overly nervous behavior, and asked, "Did someone from the Kata Mission come to the palace?"

    Seeing that she guessed it, Tetis didn't hide it: "Yes, I entered the palace early this morning, and now I should meet His Majesty in the Hall of Pillars."

    Although Tetis was sent to Ella, she has been with the king for many years and has a lot of contacts in the palace. Now Ella is obviously favored by the king, and the people in the palace are also willing to reveal some news to Tetis to sell.Favor, so Tetis received the news after Ella rested last night.

    Ella didn't want to see the Kata people either, so she said, "Then let's go back first."

    Seeing how cooperative she was, Tetis felt relieved, and the smile on her face was a bit real. When she followed Ella back, she even shared some gossip about the Kata Mission.

    Tetis: "I heard that they still wanted to give the two Kata women to His Majesty, but after being rejected by His Majesty, they changed their words and said that they would give them to His Highness as your maid."

    Ella knew that she was talking about those two noble ladies. She had nothing to do with them, and she didn't want to get involved with them after the incident at the banquet.

    "Your Majesty didn't agree?"

    "Of course not." Tetis curled her lips in disdain: "Your Majesty is so wise, how could he not know what they are planning? Those two don't know how to serve people."

    As long as you don't send people to her.

    After Ella returned to the room and waited for a while, Ona Ali came back with three craftsmen.

    The three craftsmen looked anxious when they came in. With their identities, they usually see attendants like stewards at most. In the palace, they are only allowed to move around in the working area.The two maids only told them that the princess had something to look for them but didn't say the specific content. The three craftsmen were wondering why the princess wanted to see them all the way, fearing the unknown fate with trepidation.

    When saw the silver-haired princess, all apprehensions turned into amazement and fascination.

    This silver-haired princess who suddenly appeared at the banquet, her beauty has amazed everyone who has seen her. They say that she has long hair like moonlight, purple gemstone eyes and fair and delicate likeness.She has milk-like skin, elegant and mysterious temperament, and is as beautiful as a goddess in the night sky. In the past, those beauties who were praised by others would feel ashamed standing in front of her.

    The three craftsmen have also heard rumors about this princess. Before they met the real person, they only felt that such compliments were exaggerated, but after seeing them, they didn't think those words were exaggerated.The description is too barren, and only those who have seen the princess can understand the shock.

    Seeing that the three craftsmen were so rude, Tetis frowned and stood beside Ella, and scolded displeasedly: "Irreverent people, you are so rude in front of the princess, do you want to be whipped?!"

    The three of them came back to their senses, knelt down on the ground in fear, and bowed to Ella: "Please forgive me, Your Royal Highness."

    Ella was not angry, she patted Tetis: "Alright Tetis, don't be angry."

    Only then did Tetis get out of the way, and before walking away, she did not forget to stare at them with warning eyes.

    Ella handed the three papyrus to Debbie and asked her to hand them to the craftsmen in order.

    "I need you to make the above."

    "I need you guys to help me make everything on this," Ella said behind.

    Ella asked them to make a lot of things, in addition to large stone mills and furniture, it was a series of kitchen utensils and tableware.

    These things are drawn on different papyrus papers according to different materials and handed over to the three craftsmen. In order to facilitate the craftsmen's understanding, important information such as the best material to choose, size specifications and other important information - materials and Sathya's unit of measurement are also marked on it.Ella still doesn't know much about it so far, and these were all recorded and converted with the help of Tetis.

    "If you don't understand anything, you can point it out."

    But the three artisans looked at each other when they got the blueprint, and one of them said cautiously: "His Royal Highness, your drawing is very clear, but we are all illiterate and cannot understand the content on it."

    "It's okay, let me explain to you."

    Ella wasn't surprised that they couldn't understand. Tetis had told her that there was such a possibility long ago.

    She motioned for them to bring back the drawings.

    Tetis stepped forward to stop Ella: "Your Highness, please let me come."

    Ella nodded: "Then I will trouble you."

    Tetis pointed to the open papyrus scrolls and explained them to the craftsmen. For the convenience of memory, the craftsmen recorded them on the papyrus after obtaining Ella's consent. Although they were illiterate, the craftsmen had a setA recording method that they can only understand. This method can not only help them record the content that needs to be remembered, but also prevent others from stealing it.

    Ella was listening to Debbie's translation, and found that Tetis had a very good memory. She remembered many things that she only said yesterday but did not write on paper, and she could explain them clearly and clearly.Sigh, she deserves to be the maid next to King Sathya, her ability is outstanding, and it is a bit inferior to come to her.

    After confirming that the craftsmen had remembered, Tetis turned to Ella to see if she had any other orders.

    Ella did have something to explain, but it wasn't what Tetis thought.

    She opened her mouth and said, "I don't know what the prices in Sathya are, so you can see for yourself how much material costs and labor costs are needed to make these, and then quote me a price."

    Unexpectedly, as soon as her words came out, not only the craftsmen, but even the maids looked strange.

    "Your Highness, they are all craftsmen of the royal palace, and they have a fixed salary every month. It is their honor that you let them work for you, and you don't need to pay them extra."

    The artisans also nodded repeatedly, expressing that they don't need any remuneration, how dare they accept Ira's money, if it gets to the ears of the steward, they will all have to be whipped.

    Not to mention that they are willing to serve this beautiful princess, even if the nobles who are not part of the royal palace ask them to do something, they will have to serve for free. They never dare to ask for any extravagant rewards, and they can get some rewards afterwardsIt is already the best result.

    Ella doesn't think so, thanks to the Kata people, she is rich now and doesn't have to take advantage of King Sathya.

    She raised her hand to stop Tetis' dissuading words, and said in a gentle and unquestionable tone: "You also said that they are craftsmen of the palace, and I personally hired them to work, so they will delay their original work if they do things for me, soThe reward must be given, if they refuse to accept it, then I can only find outside craftsmen to do these."

    The clever Tetis understood as soon as she heard that Ella did not regard herself as a part of the palace, so she separated herself from the palace, and she didn't even seem to intend to integrate into it.

    ——The king did not gain the princess' favor.

    As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Tetis shuddered. If His Majesty knew what the princess was thinking, something might happen.

    "Please don't say that."

    Tetis bowed down, covering up the flash of panic in her eyes, and tried to make her tone sound calm enough: "You are His Majesty's most honored guest, they should have provided you with the best service, but since Your HighnessYou've said that, why don't you wait until the things are finished, and if you are satisfied, then reward them."

    Hearing what she said, Ella thought it was okay: "Then listen to you, if they can make what I want earlier, I will also give extra rewards."

    Debbie relayed this to the craftsmen, and the three craftsmen were all happy when they heard it, and they repeatedly expressed that they would do what she wanted as quickly as possible.

    Who doesn't like a reward, especially since this princess seems to be very generous.

    The very generous Ella gave the craftsmen a pot of beer when they left. Although the beer at this time was fermented with bread, it was more like a staple food than a drink.They drink beer like water.

    However, Ella doesn't like the taste of this kind of bread-fermented beer, and the shelf life of beer is only two or three days, so she distributes most of the beer delivered by the kitchen to the maids every day to compensate her for reducing the daily cost.The act of distributing food to the maids after the number of dishes is no longer available.

    It was only later that she remembered that in the royal palace, one of the sources of food for personal maids was the "leftovers" of the masters they served—this was the case with the maids who took care of her when she was a child—if there was noWith this part of the source, the food standard of the maids will be greatly reduced.

    The three craftsmen took the can of beer and left happily, but the maids looked at Ella disapprovingly, thinking that she had given too much.
