Inside the extremely luxurious room, His Highness Lionheart was also quite pleased with the Rose soap he had used after bathing for a few days,
Today before going to the courtroom, he asked his butler, “What do you think of the new soap that is quite popular among aristocratic circles today. ”
Butler replied,” is quite unique and they have better quality than the ones previously made by the nobles and other merchants. From our information, it was created by an ordinary person from the northern border.the city in the northern Domain of Baron Mendez. “
King thought and commented after hearing about some information related to these soaps, “north border city, hmm, keep an eye on them and try to keep the neutral position of the royal family ahead and if there is an opportunity to take soap making techniques then do it covertly, he said, we are still running out of money because of all the annual wars and maintenance of all our industries and priorities.
Meanwhile, at John's end, Today they are preparing to leave the city of Pearl and visit Dolores, while Tom's slave traders are preparing to send all the slaves to the port for their transportation.
The transport of the slaves this time was handled by Eric. Joseph had already given him explicit instructions on the care and lodging of the slaves that would be required in North-Frontier Town.
John, Joseph, and the others temporarily headed North of Pearl City through the Mainland and decided to travel to the city of Dolores to Negotiate with Baron Mendez for the sale of the northern border town.
One of the Order of the Marquis Ray Guards also escorted them to the city of Dolores, about 50 odd people will follow John to a northern border town to help and train others to protect his territory while others will leave after reaching Dolores.
The knight order was led by a man named Alan Lopez.
During this Five Day trip, they passed through the Imperial City where they only stayed for a day before leaving for Dolores in the northern region. During their stay in the Imperial city, Sally was very upset and had an irritating mood. While Eva also disliked the Imperial City because she had to face her relatives here if she stayed longer and that was also one of the reasons, why they did not stay for long in the Imperial City.
After a few days, they reached Dolores without any problem, This time Baron Mendez knew that Joseph and the others would visit her and talk about the northern border town sale agreement, which the Morgan family had talked about earlier. As a noble, he could not lower himself to visit John and the others even if he knew that a large piece of meat would come his way. So this time it was one of the servants who went to receive them.
This was also one of the measures intended by Marquis Ray to show his support for John to Baron Mendez and others who were eyeing John and his business.
From this, he intended to show everyone, that, whoever moves against John is as good as against him because it would jeopardize his interest.
Most people in political circles have already come to the conclusion that John and Marquis Ray have reached an agreement that will benefit both sides. Because most people were tracking down the soaps and John already knew about Joseph and John's meeting with Marquis Ray when they visited the city of Pearl. They also get hints of Tom's behavior about how he treated John after his meeting with the Marquis.
The scene of the knights marching in the city was quite a sight for most of the people in Dolores, many people thought some nobles had arrived today, but after watching the waitress of Baron Mendez, the, everyone concluded that some rich merchant or son of a noble arrived here today.
After some surprise, the maid headed towards John and the others, after some talk, they decided to head to the mansion prepared by Baron Mendez.
After waiting an hour, Baron Mendez came to the room where Joseph and John were staying. Joseph and John had expected a long wait when they arrived today to confirm a deal between them. Since Baron Mendez was in a superior position on the negotiating table, then they had already expected such an outcome since they were the ones who proposed to buy the city.
Baron Mendez is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his 40s, has brown hair, a stocky body, and is 5 feet 9 inches tall, he is dressed in luxurious and impressive clothes. He was wearing clothes that were purposely made for their meeting today so that he could squeeze as much out of John and Joseph as possible.
Meanwhile, Diana and her entourage headed for the northern border town after they finished business and sightseeing in Pearl City.
During his travels, he got various reports from Vlad and Maurice, during this time he was quite familiar with John's food recipes that were always prepared by Maurice, Vlad also liked these recipes.
While Vlad always gives his reports from his domain and all the things that concern him, one of the reasons Diana is traveling the kingdom of Aelius is because she is fleeing from various suitors who are chasing her in the Fire Abyss kingdom, this included one of the princes of the Fire Abyss Kingdom. To keep the face of the royal family he always travels whenever he gets reports that the prince is coming to where he lives. And fleeing to another country was always the best option for Diana as the prince could not travel to another country easily as they would require very high security which would cost a lot their money and their lives are still in danger. Because of this, he was also known for his adventurous spirit and exploration.
