A group of soldiers camped in the plain on the outskirts of Epiroz
The soldiers numbered around 300 people
In addition, approxiround
The soldiers ore black leather ars that did notface they had
A fluttering flag with a black background raised in the campsite, was blown by the wind
The design on the surface of the flag was a double-edged sith two snakes coiling around it The red eyes of those snakes gave off a ht
The flag that ayed by the wind felt very intis
But, everyone in the ca
The sword symbolized power And the two snakes , that twined around the sword sy
That design was the exact embodiment of their master, it was also a testiether with their own hands
”Salted Fish, forty barrels”
”Dried Dates, fifty barrels”
”Dried pig meat, fifty barrels”
Voices of soldiers could be heard in sequences near the wagon that had been brought to the campsite
”It ht be a hassle, but please open the lid and check the contents one by one”
After the soldiers received Laura's instruction, they began working once again
At the sa merchant checked the parchments in his hand in a hurry
”I guess this is everything Geez, Earl Salzberg’s recoather this amount with such a short-time notice, you know?”
Having finished to check all the goods, the hed
Ten wagons of goods were brought by this merchant to the campsite
They then began checking the goods one by one ister
It was natural for hiue could be seen from his expression
Still, after two hours of work, a smile finally appeared on his whole face
”I did add an extra payment because of that, no? And in addition to that, isn't this all being sold above the market price?”
Laura turned her cold eyes toward the merchant who complained while he kept his eyes on the parchments
As a result of the inspection, there were no problems when it came to the number of items or their quality, but the ah
As a matter of fact, the merchants were enthusiastic about today’s business, because their opponents were someone unprepared
That also showed how experienced they hen it caotiation with an unskillful noble
They aile eyes, just so they could increase the profits even a tiny bit more
Even in front of Laura, theat the parchuard down just because the good-looking merchant appeared to be a sincere man
”Please don't joke like that These all are the sa usually pay us”
Thevexed
Mentioning the Earl's name here showed how sly this merchant was
Certainly, once he had mentioned the Earl's name, the aristocrats who had ranks below him wouldn’t be able to protest
They won't be able to protest because the aristocrats with lower ranks did not want the Earl to have a bad impression toward them
Thus such fear caused theainst the merchant
The goods brought by this man were food that could be preserved, such as dried meat and fish

”Is that so? Then you can take all of this back We can just purchase the goods from another company”
Laura told the oods back home without hesitation
Ryouma certainly needed supplies, but there was still a li
This was one of those things where he could not compromise with
”Wha?! That would be unreasonable We had arranged the iteather, only because of the Earl's reco them all back home like this your relationshi+p with the Earl would turn bad, you know?”
The irl He threatened her whilethe Earl's name
Indeed, this ht now, he will regret his oords
”What's going on?”
”What ?!”
After theprotected by his guards
One could guess that he had arrived since a while ago
Theat him
”Oh -sama pardon my rudeness, welcome to our camp”
Laura showed respect for the Earl with a perfect movement
”U for an expedition, I'oodbye personally I did not send a ht?”
With a happy s asked Laura
”Although we're busy preparing everything, toward the Earl who gave us consideration in various things, how can we say no?”
”Is that so? Then, please guide me”
After saying that, The Earl directed his eyes toward the merchant
”You're one froht?”
Earl Salzberg didn't particularly raised his voice, but the ed as if he was sentenced to death
It was the words of a feudal lord who also hter of a firrasp
For this merchant, the Earl's words were equal to that of an oracle from God
”Mikoshi+ba-dono worked hard for the sake of the Rozeria Kingdom How about you think about that a little?”
The Earl hi in particular
However, thebehind the Earl's words
”O-Oh, it was very rude of me It seems like we've made some mistake here”
Thea discount openly, but it was obvious that he was going to do just so
And Earl Salzberg didn't say anything more
