Chapter 51: It’s Very Nice To et You
Calian put down his teacup and answered with a smile on his face.
“It has been a while.”
As their first eting was nothing but a single passing whisper to his ear, lfir bowed lower after hearing Calian’s proper voice. As Calian knew why lfir was giving such a courteous bow towards him, he couldn’t help but silently laugh.
The Pollun rchantry coincidentally just started to properly trade diamonds with Tensil. It made lfir doubly worried about what Calian would ask of him to pay back his life debt that he owed to him.
“I apologize for coming in without calling in ahead. It’s because it would be troubleso for to show my face around.”
It didn’t actually matter whether Calian ca and t lfir first or called for him to co to the palace. Who would get in the way of a prince eting up with a baron?
The reason Calian ca to et lfir privately, out of the eyes of the public, was all for lfir. Calian never extended his hand out to any other nobles or houses other than the Magic Union. Therefore, if it was known that Calian was personally eting lfir, the public would make a big deal about it.
lfir knew this reason as well, therefore he respectfully answered.
“Your presence is a great complint to .”
Nodding his head in response, Calian pointed at the chair on the other side of the table and spoke.
“Please sit. I have so matters to discuss with you.”
lfir’s expression beca slightly tenser as he carefully walked to the seat and sat quietly, to which Calian opened his mouth after seeing.
“I’m sure you must have had a lot of thoughts this whole ti.”
When lfir gifted Raven’s necklace to Calian to ascertain the prince’s personality, Calian sent back to lfir the cost of the necklace as if he knew exactly what was happening. There was no other contact from the prince following the event, so lfir was unsure whether Calian was angry or wished for sothing more valuable. He felt uneasy for a long ti.
Hearing Calian, lfir didn’t particularly deny that he had and answered him.
“Yes, your highness. As a rchant it is in my nature that when I make trades, it doesn’t simply end with getting paynt. Which was why I have been worrying for a long ti.”
Calian liked that he gave an honest answer very much.
He smiled, gave his tea a sip, and then watched lfir for a bit. Just as lfir was about to swallow back his anxiety while gazing back at Calian, Calian started to speak.
“What does Pollun trade in?”
lfir’s shoulders beca stiff for a mont.
As soon as lfir replies with ‘Horse and Diamonds’, he is sure that the young prince will imdiately stand up and go back to the palace. Seeing his personality as well, he would even pay for the tea he drank before leaving, too. That way the prince wouldn’t need to associate with lfir at all in the future.
lfir’s head spun quickly trying to find the right answer.
Calian once again enjoyed the scent of the tea. Just as he took another sip, lfir answered with a careful tone.
“I’m actually not trading anything still, your highness.”
Calian laughed lightly.
It ant that while the Pollun rchantry was trading in horses and diamonds, lfir Pollun himself was not actually cooperating with anyone else in particular.
It was the answer that Calian was waiting for, and the expression that Calian hoped he would make.
“Not yet, you say.”
Clink.
Calian set down the teacup and gazed at lfir.
“Would I be able to speak with Baron Pollun?”
He ant he wanted to speak not to the talented rchant lfir Pollun, but the capable Baron lfir Pollun instead.
The reason Calian ca to lfir was not to acquire goods or commodities. As Bern was just a knight, he did not know much about rchandising anyways. He also did not want to make money by foreseeing frivolous events that will happen in the future. Therefore, he didn’t need to speak with the rchant lfir.
lfir once again swallowed back his anxiety.
“Hmm...”
lfir wasn’t able to stop his habit of sighing deeply and stared at Calian without answering. Calian tilted his head slightly and sipped his tea again.
Clink.
The teacup made the small sound once again and lfir’s mouth opened.
“I’ve been here since the beginning, your highness.”
A satisfied expression ca over Calian’s face.
While thinking that it was good that he saved lfir’s life, Calian slowly spoke.
“It’s good that I didn’t need to wait for him.”
lfir adjusted his sitting position. Calian continued to speak. However, the content wasn’t definite, but a more vague question instead.
“I was wondering if you, the Baron, can manage sothing other than a rchantry?”
With Allan, Calian wouldn’t hide his intentions when asking for sothing from him, as Allan was always willing to cooperate with Calian, but since his relationship with lfir wasn’t up to that point, Calian first wanted to see how lfir would react to his request.
lfir thought for a mont then replied.
“If there are people as well as money, then nothing is too difficult.”
“There are people and money as well.”
After saying the words Calian stopped himself for a bit, then continued speaking.
“But the problem is that Brissen will also be there.”
Just as Allan predicted, Calian was currently thinking of creating a magic school. Of course, creating the magic school isn’t as dangerous a venture as making the magic division like Allan is currently doing. However, making the magic school may an the Brissens may be involved and things may get ssy.
Hearing about Brissen, lfir shut his mouth firm for a mont then decided to speak.
“Doesn’t that an that you are also involved as well, your highness?”
Calian answered with a small laugh.
“It seems I asked a foolish question. That’s right. I will be involved as well.”
“If there are people, money, and yourself in front of the Brissens, then it will certainly not be difficult for to manage.”
