"You what?" Alie looked at those two in surprise, not expecting Lothur to publicly assu such a shaful thing.
"The Frost family gave both sisters to the sa man?" Lina said in disbelief.
That was a polygamous world, at least for the most part. And even monogamous people understood the relationships of those different from themselves and did not judge them negatively. But even in this society, sisters marrying the sa man was an abnormality.
And considering that Annaliese and Viktoria were twins and the only daughters of the Frost patriarch, the situation beca even more special.
"Hmm, but please keep the secret about it. We haven't revealed it in public yet." Lothur smiled at those two while Annaliese looked at him with wide eyes.
Lothur understood what was on his sister-in-law's mind, but he knew that these people would not go around talking about it. After all, this family wanted to avoid public contact with House Frost and seed to want to get closer to him.
Thus, it would not do this organization any good to spread rumors about Lothur and Annaliese.
On the other hand, by saying this to these won, Lothur showed how vital the Frost family was to him, which would invariably affect their business together.
They wanted to do business with him, but they would have to consider this!
So, after hearing Lothur's request, the two nodded in agreent while they had many thoughts in their minds.
They would not go out talking about it publicly since they had more important things to do and would not benefit from just dirtying the Frost family's image. Besides, if Lothur was so good as to be invited to join the Formation Masters Association council, then he was even more valuable to them!
That way, the two tried to ignore so of the problems related to what he talked about as they finally sat around a dining table.
"Please try this one..."
The blonde hostess showed so appetizers prepared for the two visitors to taste as she poured wine for the four of them.
"The rumors about you are sowhat unfounded..." Lina comnted as she looked at Lothur's handso face. "Besides being talented, you are also with both sisters while everyone thinks your marriage is fake..."
"Is that a strategy of yours, Lothur? What are your plans for the future?" This black-haired woman questioned him, ignoring the food on her plate.
Lothur continued to eat next to Annaliese and answered. "My goal is to build sothing that eventually no longer needs but can guarantee a comfortable position."
"Oh? That's a good goal..." Alie comnted as she watched him thoughtfully. "But how are you going to do that? With your qualities as a tailor and formation master?"
"I will use my skills relating to those professions and others." He smiled as he thought about presenting his main project to these won.
He wanted as many associates as possible, so since the Christen family was a rising bourgeoisie, undoubtedly looking for growth opportunities, this was a good try for him.
"I have sothing in mind that will change transportation across the continent." He placed his cutlery on the table and looked at the two. "I have a project for a vehicle that will not need animals or beasts to be moved."
"What? Is sothing like that possible?" Alie was surprised at his idea and asked this since she had no experience in the subject.
But Lina, as a formation master, had heard of past tests concerning people trying to produce objects that moved by themselves, using spiritual energy as fuel.
Unfortunately, only small objects like fans worked with that idea. When groups of people tried to create automatic flying chariots or boats in the past, they always failed.
These ans of transportation were too slow, difficult to control, and could not carry several people or too much cargo at once. Anyway, there were several problems related to this unique ans of transportation that Lothur seed to talk about, which discouraged Lina a bit.
"It is possible, but never in the history of our profession has anyone capable of producing sothing with similar power to ordinary chariots," Lina comnted, already thinking that Lothur would fail.
Lothur understood why this woman did not trust him since he had already heard of so of the failed designs made throughout history. "Don't be so quick in your judgnts regarding my project, Miss Engelmann. My idea is entirely new and in no way resembles what my predecessors have tried to do."
"Is that so?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"Yes, I will have the miniature of this project later this month, so I will show it to you if you wish..." He returned his attention to his plate.
"I will also present it to the Becker family, so rchants of Lewerenz, probably my won's family, and soone else I plan to et soon." He said, trying to draw these won's attention to the fact that he already had other contacts.
"Becker family?" Those two were surprised that Minos was ntioning the na of this family.
Rumors were going around the province that the Becker family was going to marry their daughter to the heir of House Baier. So as much as that family was not an enemy of House Frost, the Baiers did not have good relations with Annaliese's family!
Because of this, it was rather strange to think that a probable future enemy of House Frost would be in the network of contacts of the husband of the future leader of that family in question!
Annaliese then said. "Lothur has an excellent relationship with young Miss Becker... Moreover, he has dined with the patriarch's family a few tis and earned that man's interest."
"Is that true?" Alie asked Lothur with interest in her eyes.
"Yes... Also, I am already doing business with that family regarding that glove I presented to you." He maliciously said.
These people probably thought before he arrived for this dinner that, besides talent, he had nothing else. But his words and Annaliese's showed these won that he was not just a naive junior without connections.
Lothur was soone with goals, already working towards them, and would not just depend on one organization.
People like this were harder to manipulate but more interesting to partner with!
After all, it was better to be around competent individuals than the other way around.
Because of this, Lothur was sparing no effort to show these people his position, quoting things that, if investigated, would confirm his position.
And both Alie, and Lina, knew they could investigate all those words of theirs.
"I see..." The blonde woman comnted. "Then I will wait until you have such a thing in hand so we can talk about this special vehicle..."
'In the anti, I will send soone to check that information...' She looked at her friend, and even without saying a single word, she managed to get her ssage across to Lina.
Lina then comnted. "Well, it seems you know what you are doing and already have the ans to do so. So, I guess you wouldn't be interested in joining the Christen family..."
