Chapter 557: Money From..?
"Well... there are many ways to make money in the world, and many different people you could talk to to get started making said money. It depends on what exactly you want to do and how you want to do it. Do you want to sell goods through soone else's shop so that a portion of the profits is taken, but you have an established location that has custors selling your goods, or do you want to set up your own store to sell things from?
Either way you do things, Astra, there will be a target of so kind on your back, I just have to warn you. Money makes people do crazy things sotis, and when you start selling so of your goods on any market, soone, sowhere, apart of so organization or family is going to feel threatened or annoyed by your actions. Of course, competition doesn't always lead to violence, but..."
Standing up, Renna began to clean herself off with a flourish of her wand, the red head smiling softly as she admired the beautiful flower that she had told
was considered a 'legendary' item in the world, sothing that people would wage wars over.
I joined her, curbing my lust and deactivating my skill as I returned to being a 'pure' woman, and after a few monts I looked back at the forge before asking "How many skilled blacksmiths are within Birchan? How many wineries that you consider to be worth a damn to the common people?"
"There are a few independent smiths established around here, and a few that are apart of organizations like the Auction House, the Guard, the Military and more. You would need to offer sothing special at a good price to get any attention though, and people don't really take too new smiths all that easily; this is soone you usually are trusting with your life, after all. Trusting that person is needed for comfort of mind.
As for any wineries that sell to the average person, no, not many. People either fernt and make aged wines that are worth their weight in gold, or they churn out sothing disgusting that they parade around as 'wine' for a couple coppers. But rember, if people start finding out soone is producing good quality wine for 'cheap' and selling it to just about everyone..."
That made
sigh as I nodded, my general understanding of how people functioned letting
know that almost all of the people in that field would feel threatened and therefor take so sort of action against
for cutting into their profits, even if it was just a little.
Every field had risks, and I knew that, but I stared at the Duchess for a little while before asking "But isn't the Domus Stella a winery? And aren't we going to be selling all sorts of wines to all sorts of people? So won't that put a target on your head as well as mine?"
That just made her snort as she shook her head, saying "A target yes, but a target that no one would dare to take action against. The Queen and I might have separated, but I am still one of her two closest advisors, and on top of that I have quite a lot of influence and power of my own. Only to illustrate a point, if I were to secede from the Queendom, I could set up my own state without much worry at all, but um... obviously I won't."
She blushed slightly at that, but I just nodded and brushed over her words, though I couldn't help but wonder if that was a sign of the influence I might have over her already, but still, I just stopped thinking about it and instead went onto the next thing, which was yet another way to make money.
"And what if I did get myself a myriad of powerful backers? Do you think I would still have an 'easy' or 'accessible' target on my head?"
"Like who?"
The Duchess stared at
closely and narrowed her eyes, which made
chuckle as I replied "Like Magistrate Fenkar, perhaps? Or the other Magistrates? Or perhaps I can chat with Duchess Leonisa?
