Chapter 31

Marchioness Aine was middle age woman with beautiful features, it seemed that she maintained her beauty regularly with herbs, potions, and other items . She was brunette with brown eyes with a height of 5 feet and 9 inches . She also had a son named Julius who was 18 recently but he was in the Imperial capital's knight academy completing his initial training .

"Greetings to the Marchioness, as you guessed this time we came to meet father and Marquis since we wanted to complete a deal regards to the soaps we provided this time around but it was fortunate to meet you today . " Joseph greeted Aine and later mentioned his intentions .

"Hmm . . . I heard from Steve that you were the one who supplied the Rose soaps in the city this time around . Well, good luck with your venture . Meanwhile, who are those friends of yours over there?" Marchioness said to Joseph .

"Let me introduce you, this is John, Eva, Jay, Josephine, and Sally . As for Phillip you already know him . It is John who made those new soaps which are being circulated in the upper noble circles nowadays . " Joseph introduced his friends and waved to Phillip so that he can present the gifts which were prepared to Aine . While John and others greeted Aine .

Marquis Ray was a tall man with blonde hair and a sharp face . He had strict as well as a jolly air around him . He looked like a man who had been through a war but understood the importance of life . During his younger years he had followed the kingdom's army in war and had made great achievements for himself and his domain and hence he had this air around him . Today he wore luxuriously with a Black cape, black shoes, and white gloves . He wore a full sleeved leather shirt with a sleeves furry coat on it with a white shirt inside which could only be seen on neck and borders of leather shirt with a black pant . The borders of his hands were cuffed like most nobles clothes . And it seemed that recently the nobles had started using buttons and new designs from the snake's family and it had become quite popular because of its comfortability .

Marquis Ray very much understood the importance of trade and commerce and hence he promoted commerce and merchants in all of his domains but there were certain norms like slavery which he couldn't fight as it would require a lot of money, strength and political will to achieve his aim so he never declared his intentions to anyone and acted like most of the noblemen . But certain businesses like the Food and Pearl industry were under his family's control as they were very strategic to them . Most of the nobles also controlled the food circulated into their domain .

As they were conversing Marquis and Frank came in the room with the butler leading them inside .

While laughing Marquis came inside the room and said to everyone in the guest house "Well well well, everyone is having a happy conversation this time around . You might be John which was being talked about earlier when I talked to Joseph last time and you guys might be the friends of John and Joseph, Aine please show them the house while we discuss our business dealings for now . Well we can converse later on"

Aine led Eva and others and let them discuss their business matters as she understood from her years of experience .

Aine turned to Eva and others and offered to lead them in the mansion .

"Why don't you guys join me and tour the mansion while they deal with matters of their own"

"Okay, that won't be a problem . " Eva replied without thinking much and let John and Joseph finish their dealings first .

Only Phillip and Marquis Ray's butler remained while others left the room .

"It seems you have been quite jolly these days Joseph" Frank asked Joseph after he was done watching from the sidelines .
