After the merchant left the room, Kevin, Vina, Tia, and Emma entered the office. Vina and Tia ran and hugged Sera without saying anything.
"Madam, are you alright?" asked the concerned Emma.
"I am fine," Sera reassured.
"Who was that, madam?" Kevin inquired.
"He's a merchant. Their group started trading with us last year. He proposed, but I rejected him; he didn't seem good."
"Why don't you just reject their entry?" Kevin suggested.
"His father is the 5th son of the marquess. Due to our status difference, he won't go too far. But I can't avoid his harassment either." Sera smiled depreciatively.
'So, he wants to use her to gain a noble status,' Kevin realized.
"Anyway, let's go have our lunch," Sera suggested.
"Okay."
After lunch, Kevin left the castle.

On the next day of darkness, Kevin began his class.
"First, let's talk about time. We have night and day, and a week with 13 days. A month consists of 26 days, and there are 13 months in a year. Each day is dedicated to one of the 12 major gods, like the Day of Light, Day of Earth, Day of Water, Day of Fire, Day of Wind, Day of Sky, and so on."
Next, we'll explore our kingdom's currency system, which comprises seven types of coins. The basic unit is the Emberbit.
- 100 Emberbits = 1 Breezecent
- 1 Breezecent could purchase a simple meal or a loaf of bread.
- 10 Breezecents = 1 Rustleo
- 1 Rustleo could secure a night's stay at a modest inn or acquire basic equipment.
- 10 Rustleos = 1 Earthcent
- 1 Earthcent could ensure a night in a comfortable inn, hire a local guide, or buy decent armor.
- 10 Earthcents = 1 Moonquart
- 1 Moonquart could afford a fine meal, hire skilled labor, or acquire a quality weapon.
- 10 Moonquarts = 1 SunShilling
- 1 SunShilling represents significant wealth, capable of purchasing a horse, commissioning a skilled craftsman, or gaining entry to exclusive events.
- 10 SunShillings = 1 Starium
- 1 Starium is a rare, prestigious gold coin. It can buy a small estate, fund local expeditions, or procure magical items of moderate power.
Next, let's delve into the diverse spices in our world. While the majority of the population comprises humans, a myriad of other races enriches our realm, including elves, dwarfs, fairies, beast men, and many more.
Now, let's explore the major powerhouses in our world, known as Dystopia. The entire landmass is organized into five continents, each further divided into kingdoms. Our home is the distinguished Kingdom of Aetheria.
In Aetheria, governance is structured hierarchically. At the helm is the emperor, overseeing the realm. Below the emperor, the hierarchy includes Arch Dukes, Dukes, Marquess, Counts, Viscounts, Barons, Knights, and Lords.
Just for your information, our baroness doesn't have any knights under her due to various circumstances.
Moving on, let's discuss the prominent Adventurers Guilds scattered across the continent. These guilds play a pivotal role in our world, taking on a diverse array of missions. These tasks range from collecting herbs and running errands to more perilous endeavors like monster extermination or even participating in wars. The adventurers' guilds serve as hubs for those seeking excitement, challenges, and the opportunity to make a significant impact in the ever-evolving landscape of Dystopia.
