Vlad first greeted Diana and introduced John and Joseph to her. Vlad knew enough where to shoot his tongue and where not as the face of the Bluesea family was more important to him than his sneaky jokes on personal occasions so he behaved like a butler.
Diana maintained her splendor because it was important to maintain a noble demeanor in front of others and wait for them to speak first. Vlad understood the situation and so he decided to speak first on behalf of everyone.
Vlad invited John and Joseph as said with a smiling face “because you probably know Miss Diana is the only daughter of Duke Bluesea of Fire Abyss Kingdom. We have a proposal that can benefit both parties plus the young lady is very interested in having a conversation with you, So what do you think? “
This time John said, “It never hurts to listen to his proposal first and then decide later, what do you think Joseph?”
“That sounds good, I have no problem with that,” Joseph looked at Vlad deeply and answered John.
This time Diana decided to speak, “Your soap is very well made and very popular, he said, so I was very interested after using it for the first time so I decided to go to the Kingdom of Aelius and meet the person who made it, luckily we happen to you and Joseph. So, are you interested in being the only provider of this soap for the Fire Abyss kingdom through us? ”
“Of course we will compensate you with gold coins and other means, so what do you think?” Diana smiled and said to them while drinking her tea.
“Wait, first let me ask him some questions,” Joseph suddenly said to Diana and pointed to Vlad.
Vlad expected much from Joseph and immediately agreed to Joseph's suggestion.
“But you will only be able to ask one secret question and you cannot ask anything related to the Bluesea family. You know, I can't spill secrets everywhere.”
Joseph thought for a while and understood that Vlad wanted to contain as much information as possible but he still agreed because he had to ask one question he wanted to ask a long time ago.
Joseph thought for a moment and asked his question,
“Why were you hired by my family the last time you came to our Mansion?”
Vlad smiled cunningly and answered Joseph, saying,
“Your grandfather hired us for the murder of someone who disturbed your family.”
“So who did you kill?” Joseph asked.
“Sorry, this is the second question I cannot answer, so can we get ready for another business?” Vlad smiled at a sadist where it seemed that Joseph had just played in the palm of his hand.
As soon as he heard the answer, he understood that he was played by Vlad. He had an angry expression on his face, but he was more cursing at his own naivety when he asked the question excitedly and thought Vlad would at least answer all about this.
Diana's face was serious when Maurice giggled. Diana did not laugh because it was disrespectful to their guests and she also remembered her embarrassing conversation with Vlad which infuriated her.
John also sees the game coming off the sidelines and understands what kind of person Vlad is.
“Sorry for previous interruptions, let's get to business first. We can have that conversation later.” Diana said to Joseph and John while she glared at Vlad who was then behind Diana and started preparing other documents as if they were not important to her, as if, from the beginning he never wanted to spill the secret contract he had made in the past.
“It's okay, it's my personal business, so Vlad is under no obligation and there may be some contract terms that both parties have to abide by that I don't think about,” Joseph calmly replied Diana.
“So, how much soap can you guys give us?” Diana got straight to the point.
“Well, it depends on your number. Since we have already got the required troops, we can make a large amount of soap from now on.” This time John answered the question.
Diana only wanted to investigate them and understand that they had enough human labor for such large-scale soap production.
“We will need 100,000 Half-monthly Soaps and most will increase based on demand in the kingdom because this soap is already popular in Aelius and I think it will be the same in Fire Abyss Kingdom.”
Vlad then approached Diana and said in her ear.
“
Diana said to the two of them after listening to Vlad's suggestion.
Vlad then gave one of the documents from his hands to Joseph as proof of their sincerity, after seeing the document Joseph understood how the information was disclosed when they gave soap this time around. It turned out to be one of his older brothers who leaked their information and why their fleet was almost attacked. He also understood how Vlad came to the conclusion that John was the soap maker this time around.
Meanwhile, Vlad said to the two of them with a curious smile, “You two should be more careful from now on, this soap will bring a lot of changes this time”
“Only a word of advice, one of your brothers contacted the duke of your kingdom and they might target your soap and not the one who leaked your information.”
Vlad usually won't give free advice but both Diana and she have taken an interest in both and he hopes they can continue this relationship with them which will be better for the relationship in the future the front between both parties and him also felt good about them, unlike the other people he usually met. His instincts told him that this relationship would help the Bluesea family later in life so he decided to reveal a lot of cards. Moreover, he was very curious about John because he did not have any killing intent or blood from his aura but he still had good senses like a predator so he thought it was because of his natural talent.
John thinks about it and decides not to raise the price of his soap after he sees Vlad and his people's ability in information gathering.
