Calon felt a pang of regret as he watched the expressions of the Count’s couple and Elize change.
‘I should have prepared more.’
The documents recovered today thanks to Aelfrie were quite important.
Because they contained information about areas where the Ash Merchant Company’s network rarely reached.
‘It would have taken quite a while to receive them again if I had missed them. There’s no communication network using the golden rule there.’
In Denertum, where most of the golden rule has already been extinguished, one wouldn’t even imagine, but the Ash Merchant Company and the Empire have a communication network based on the power of the golden rule.
Those with the power of the golden rule are not just rolling around like stones on the roadside.
Moreover, it’s even rarer for someone to have enough strength to communicate from the Empire to Denertum.
No, it was better to think that there’s none at all.
‘It’s impossible unless it’s a successor of the Emperor’s caliber.’
But even if it’s the Emperor, he cannot always lend his power for the Ash Merchant Company’s communication.
It is only possible to contact Denertum once a week now because Calon is here; if not, he would not have lent his power.
Anyway, it would have taken quite a long time to receive those documents again if he had lost them.
Moreover, the content also should never be known in Denertum, so it would have been a huge headache.
Considering the importance of the documents, it wouldn’t be a waste to even give away an entire warehouse, not just enough to fill one carriage.
Before he knew it, the gifts he had brought were piled up at the mansion’s entrance. Jena, who was watching, spoke in a clear voice.
“Wow, it seems to be more than the gifts Miss Elize received before.”
At those words, Elize’s eyes sharply lifted. But she couldn’t say anything to Jena. Because it looked like that even to her.
Maya, who noticed Elize’s annoyance, smacked Jena’s arm as if to say not to scratch our young lady’s feelings, and said,
“It’s not all about the size of the boxes. Do you know how extraordinary the gifts our young lady received were? They were all luxury items carefully selected by the wellknown people in social circles to suit her.”
At her maid’s words, Elize slightly lifted her chin.
As Maya said, not a single one of those things that arrived then was not precious.
They were all items with traditional store names stamped on them, and they all looked expensive at a glance.
“But these seem to be of high quality too.”
However, Jena, still with an excited face, responded as if she couldn’t agree with the maid’s words.
“It’s all marked Ash Merchant Company. What did you say last time? You boasted that among Miss Elize’s gifts, there were three things from the Ash Merchant Company. But these are all boxes of the Ash Merchant Company?”
At Jena’s words, Calon, who was listening, smiled.
This maid was subtly scratching her opponent’s insides, pretending not to know.
Furthermore, seeing them boast and squabble over whose merchant company was more significant, using the company’s name, he felt immense pride in his merchant company for the first time in a while.
“It’s only the boxes! Our young lady once received two large barrels of tea from the Empire as a gift.”
“She must like tea.”
Calon quietly joined the conversation. Then, looking at a box, he said,
“I have just put some tea that has come into our company, so please enjoy it.”
Adding to that, he said,
“I put everything in because I didn’t know what you would like.”
He thought it was quite a childish thing to say even to himself. But as soon as he saw the astonished expressions of the Count’s couple, he realized that such words were the most effective on these people.
“Really? Then may I open this box, Miss? It’s my job to organize it in the kitchen.”
Jena, upon hearing Calon’s words, quickly picked up the box he had gestured to, approached Aelfrie, and quickly asked as if urging her to give permission.
Jena’s momentum was so fierce that Aelfrie unknowingly nodded her head.
Jenna, who had finally obtained Aelfrie’s permission, not that of the Aradis Count and Countess or Elise, quickly but carefully untied the box so that not a single welltied ribbon was damaged.
How swiftly her hands moved; the wrapping was undone in no time, exposing its contents to all.
“Oh my.”
The eyes of Jenna and Elise’s maid, who were the first to look inside the box, nearly popped out.
The reason Calon had winked at the box was that it was filled with soft cotton and several jars of tea.
Jenna quickly counted what she could see. One, two, three, four……. When Jenna’s count reached about eight, Elise’s face hardened.
The tea was a gift the Grand Duke had sent to Elise. After receiving two jars, Elise subtly boasted to people about what she had received whenever there was a gathering.
People who heard that became more polite to Elise.
The Empire’s tea was expensive and precious. Among them, those coming through the Ash Trading Company were hard to obtain even for the nobles.
