”Quantity isn't a problem, I can give you much as you want”
The merchants and Gabriella couldn't believe what they just heard because the dwarves were extremely hard to find around this part of the land and it was even harder to find dwarven blacksmiths who could forge an armor with this quality.
Gabriella was very excited since this deal could bring her guild a tremendous amount of new customers and profits but first, she needed to close the deal with a good price.
”I can get you four hundred gold coins for a piece, your majesty”
”Seven hundred a piece”
He knew he can get more as no one would agree to the first offer without negotiating
”Four fifty”
”Six fifty”
”Five hundred”
Don said and a smile appeared on Gabriella's face
”If you can give us the exclusive rights to the armors and weapons forged by the dwarven smiths, I can do it for five hundred, your majesty”
Don didn't mind giving her the exclusives right because it would be her job to bring in clients and do the little things while his men only needed to set up a forge and make armors and weapons, nothing else.
Besides this deal would be a final push for thunder heart merchant guild to make a move against Grega merchant guild if his guess was correct.
When they make a move, he would barge in and save the Grega merchant only if they agreed to work for him than with him or if they refused to work for him, he would let nature take its course.
”Deal, and you can take these with you as my gift to your father”
”Thank you, your majesty, I'm sure my father would be very delighted to see them”
”Good, the forge will be built before the next shipment arrives in Emir”
”Wonderful”

”Now that I've finished everything in Emir and the materials are here, we can start the new construction works”
Don summoned Stodemar, Ken, Joel, and Lord Clemo to discuss constructing new restaurants and tea houses in Sigalla and Emir. They were standing around a table and discussing the construction work looking at the blueprints that were drawn by Ken.
”As I already said, you can hire many men as you need, I want them finished as fast as possible ”
Arrora and Arwen had no expertise in building stuff so they just stood behind.
”We should prioritize the dam first, your majesty”
Ken said as Stodemar nodded
”The dam would take six months to build, am I right?”
”Yes, your majesty”
”How long do you think it'll take for you to build a few buildings? Not six months I guess”
”Three months top, your majesty, we already have a building in Mairis, so we only need to build two buildings for restaurants, and how many tea houses do you want to be built?”
”Let's start with three but it doesn't have to be as big as restaurants”
Don preferred talking with Ken and Stodemar than looking at the ugly scratchings that Ken called blueprints. He knew Ken is a man of many talents but he sure wasn't a good artist. And he was glad that he wouldn't need Ken's drawing skills as he needed his engineering skills.
”Your majesty”
A guard entered the throne hall and bowed
”What is it?”
”King Edward and Princess Amber is here, your majesty”
”What? Are you sure?”
Lord Clemo asked the guard as he nodded
”Yes, Lord Clemo, I saw them with my two eyes, they will be here in a few minutes”
”Well, then let's go meet them”
Since King Edward treated him with respect, he decided to return the gesture as he followed the guard outside to welcome them personally.
”King Edward, Princess Amber, I didn't know you are coming here”
When he reached the lawn, he saw King Edward and Princess Amber step out of their carriage as Don quickly waved his hand and created a windshield around them to prevent the rain from drenching King Edward and Amber.
”Did we interrupt anything by coming unannounced? King Don”
Princess Amber asked with a gentle smile as Don shook his head
”Of course not, let's go inside”
”I saw a flock of refugees coming this way when we were traveling here, King Don”
”Oh, let them come, more people means I can finish the construction works faster”
