In a large room decorated with fancy paintings, sculptures, and flowers, they set a large table up in the middle.
Many people were gathered in this place and sitting quietly in their places with serious expressions.
No one was talking right now, and except so individuals, everyone seed on edge.
This atmosphere was quiet, and there was clear tension in the room.
Every person in the room had fabulous clothing, and most of these people were n.
Though there were so ladies, they were only ten against the fifty n sitting with complicated faces.
from the looks of things, all these people were waiting for soone.
The room was luxurious and the charm of all these magnificent things was relatively low.
Everything was extravagant, but normal.
This ti was early morning and the light from the large windows on both sides of the large windows illuminated the entire room.
The air was tense but there was a calmness in it, as if the air itself was waiting for sothing to change in this closed room.
Everyone was quiet, but no one dared to speak in this place in front of all the people present here.
Except one fool.
"Where is madam? It's already late. If we wait so more, then we might have problems."
Soone in the room said, and just after his words, they bombarded him with furious glares.
As if the one that spoke was a buffoon, everyone else in the room looked at him with contempt-filled eyes.
There was clear worry in everyone's eyes after the na 'madam' has spoken to break the still silence.
So in this room were confused, but there was still a worried look in their eyes as they looked at the one has spoken just now.
"It's ok. He's a new person, so he doesn't know much. He will understand after this one."
This voice was filled with certainty and… this was a dignified famine voice.
This was the voice of a lady with short brown hair and a splendid outfit of nobles.
Nobles, as it was clear from her magnificent looks that this lady was not like so of the most 'normal' people present in this room.
There were two n standing behind her in knight armor, like most people present.
But this differed from the other escorts.
These knights had shining armor that seed magical and swords that looked to be filled with magic itself.
This differed from many other normal knight armors that were 'only' shining normally.
Everything aside, it was clear that all this people in this place were rchants or soone connected in business.
The alluring lady was confident in her speech despite many looks that asked: 'how would a new person know?'
"Countess is right, everyone. Master is busy with sothing else. Unlike us, there are much more things she has to take care of."
This was a male voice but, it was old compared to most of the voices present.
This was the calm voice of so of the few calm ones that had been calm in this tense situation.
After this voice spoke the fact, the room that has brightened up for a mont went back to the quiet one in an instant.
The old man on the other side of the previous lady was soone that everyone here knew, just like the lady.
The lady on the left side held a higher rank than the old man on the right, and it was clear that the two of them agreed with each other.
There was calmness between these two parties and that also reflected that they were on common ground.
The old man was wearing a blue outfit that was the most luxurious in the room present and his dark blue eyes matched this suit perfectly.
His white hair showed his old age but, at the sa ti, the lack of guards or knights also showed his fearless manner.
There was just a young attendant on his right side that held a peculiar cane with a similar crest as his clothes.
A lion, and more specifically, a white lion crest that symbolized the holy beast of similar features.
This was the viscount Glory. The elder in the room, soone with the most experience as a rchant and a subordinate of the one all were waiting.
He was a rchant but, at the sa ti, he was a (tier-4) mage.
The cane was his magic wand and, just like the crest on his heart, he was a lion in their industry.
On his other side was the countess and the newest person to rise at exceptional speed in this empire's market.
Soone that stood alone and earned the title of a countess eting finding the love of her life.
The weakest count family's head, soone that didn't have much authority, power, or wealth, found soone like her... or they found each other.
The end result of this was the power structure change in the lower significant nobles.
That was one thing but, she was still not soone who stood with the master all were waiting for.
There was still ti as she was new and there were many things for her to learn but, at least, she knew if she wanted to last in this empire's trades for longer; she had to be one with the person in waiting.
The sudden wealth and popularity attracts wolfs, and she wasn't soone that could give in to such people.
She was at least wasn't as new as the ignorant person who has just spoken up.
She knew the aning of just being at this place and on this table with soone that has yet to show up.
The person they were waiting for, the master of the biggest auction house, the leader of the third-ranking rchant alliance, and soone that had the most power in the whole empire when it ca to certain things.
She had created an empire in two years.
An empire of sothing no ordinary rchant could think of.
An empire of trade, and particularly, an empire of peculiar foods.
That aside, all the large trades that happened within this great empire had ties with this person.
She had power in trades, so she had money.
She also had power in the military, holding forces to command at her words.
She was the daughter of a hero and soone already known throughout the continent.
If she, as a rising power in this ferocious empire, had to be under soone, it would be no one but this person.
Just like the viscount sitting on the other side of her.
He was soone that had been a part of this empire's economics for the longest in this room.
He was sitting here but, there might be many things going on under his commands at this very mont.
He was a subordinate as well as an elder of the rchant alliance, holding the highest rank in this eting of new and aspirin rchants.
All things aside, the gates were opening up, and this was the signal for every person's percent.
-Katm.
At once, everyone stood up from their seats to greet the esteed one of this gathering.
The one that so called master, so lady or madam, while for so, she had earned a special title in these past years, [The golden demoness].
