When the people saw what Arrora and the black-armored men were doing to the Lambert family, they had become terrified of Don. However after they heard about Heaven's gate and what happened to Rose's family, they came to realize that the punishment was exactly what they deserved.
Two days after the meeting with the nobles, many of the men in the Lambert family lost their lives and the families of the culprits of Heaven's gate were exiled from Emir after paying half of their wealth to Don.
Meanwhile, the noble families except Demet and Lambert agreed to give their full support, especially the Vanneste family and Pattyn family who showed their support by donating a significant sum to the treasury.
When Don and the men reached Agoria, Lord Clemo was waiting for him as he sent Lord Clemo along with the nobles of Agoria. He was nervous as well as excited to travel with the Speckle family.
As Don reached his castle in Agoria, he went to the throne hall to see Stodemar was waiting for him.
”Me king, ye be back,”
Stodemar bowed and held out a parchment
”This be tha agreed prices an' materials, clothes, an' everything we need, me king. I've already shown this ta Amaryll an' Dior”
Don took the parchment and examined the prices for a moment
”I'm not familiar with the prices, but it looks like they gave us a nice discount, am I right?”
He then gave it to Arrora to check the prices as she nodded after carefully studying the contents
”Yes, it does look that way”
”What do you think Stodemar? You're the expert”
The dwarf proudly grinned when he heard the compliment from Don
”This might be tha best price we can get, me king, plus, Gabriella's tha one handling tha transportation, so I'd say we have struck a good deal”
”Alright then, tell them to come”
Stodemar bowed again and left the throne hall to go to the guest house where the merchants were staying.
While he was waiting for the merchants, Don waved his hands as a delicately forged armor and weapon appeared before him. He covered them with a cloth and placed them on a table in the center of the hall.
”I didn't believe the dwarves when they said that even their junk would still be better than high-quality armors and weapons forged by humans, but seeing this, I'm afraid they were right ”
Arrora said.
”This junk could bring us a huge wealth and rich people from other kingdoms”
”So when are we leaving to enter the dungeon? We should get some notifications this week right?”
”Yes”
A few minutes after, Stodemar brought the merchants and Gabriella
”Your majesty”
Don motioned them to sit and he sat on his throne
”You've got yourselves a deal”
The merchants sighed in relief and smiled when they heard him
”You won't be disappointed, your majesty”
”I expect the goods to arrive on time, I've lot of things planned”
”Don't worry, your majesty, we would deliver the goods as soon as possible”
Gabriella assured him
”After this, you can go to Emir and meet the nobles, go to Emir and meet with my head of state, Warren, he would arrange a meeting with some noble family who might be interested in doing business with you ”
The three merchants became very excited as Don looked at Gabriella
”So Gabriella, tell me what do you think about this?”
He said and waved his hand as the cloth covering flew away and revealed the armor and weapon.
”Your majesty, is this?”
”An armor and a sword forged by dwarven blacksmiths”
The moment he said this, the merchants' eyes almost jumped out of its sockets as they looked startled.
Gabriella stood up from her seat and walked towards the armor and sword to inspect them closely. By the look on her face, she seemed like she was familiar with dwarven armors as she closely studied the armor and the sword
”This is indeed dwarven forged, but your majesty, it's not the quality of the armors and weapons, your soldiers have”
He was surprised to see that Gabriella had noticed the dwarven armors his soldiers wore.
”You knew?”
Gabriella slowly nodded
”My father is a collector of dwarven forged things, your majesty, he would buy anything to add to his collection as long as it's dwarven forged, I've grown looking at those so I know a little about them ”
Don didn't expect her to spot the difference between this junk armor and the high-quality black armors but he understood that if she really knows about dwarven forged, she would know its value better than anyone.
”Why would I sell the armors and weapons forged for my soldiers and equip my potential foes? Can you sell these? I know there are people like your father for example out there who would pay a huge sum to get their hands on armors and weapons forged by dwarves”
”How much armor and weapons are we talking about? your majesty”
