Two days after I sent a reply to the marquess, we boarded the carriage he’d sent to our inn. For once, we were all wearing gowns.

The residence of the marquess stood near the center of the city. With its unrefined yet sturdy walls, it resembled a fortress more than a manor. In fact, it had been one of the dwarves’ strongholds before their kingdom had passed under the dominion of the empire.

I couldn’t help but gasp in admiration when we entered the fortress. In contrast to the plain exterior, the interior was brightly lit and decorated with fine sets of armor, weapons, and detailed gold and silver smithwork.

“Th-That’s adamant!” Lunoa squealed, fixated on an ore that rested atop a display stand.

She must have used Item Analysis on it after wondering why a plain block of ore would be displayed alongside all of these wonderfully crafted objects.

“It’s very impressive,” I said. “I’ve never seen such a large specimen of natural adamant either.”

“Mama, what’s adamant?” Alice asked.

“Adamant is an alloy of mithril and orichalcum,” I replied. “It’s extremely rare for it to occur naturally and—” I paused after realizing that Alice hadn’t understood anything I’d just said. “Hmm... Let’s just say it’s a very expensive rock.”

“That rock costs a lot? How much?” she asked.

“Let me see... With that rock, you could buy twenty houses like the one we have in the capital.”

“Really?! Amazing!”

A loud laugh interrupted our conversation. “It looks like your little lady has a good eye.”

The voice belonged to a dwarf. Like others of his race, he was short in stature, but his muscles were so well-trained that I could see them bulging through his ceremonial clothes. He was in his prime and exuded confidence. The servant who’d been guiding us through the fortress was so shocked to see him that he let out a yelp.

“M-My lord?! How many times have I stressed the importance of welcoming guests in the drawing ro—”

“Oh, stop nagging me. It’s no big deal! I listened to you and didn’t go fetch them at their inn. That’s good enough already, isn’t it?” The marquess completely disregarded his troubled servant and extended his hand to me. “Nice to meet you. I’m Lekius, the head of House Hephaest.”

Lekius led us through the corridors of his fortress. However, instead of taking us to a drawing room, he brought us to a dining hall. The table had already been set.

Etiquette dictated that a host should take a visiting merchant like me to a drawing room for a chat before any meal, but Lekius didn’t seem to care about abiding by conventions.

“Everyone knows that conversations are much livelier after a glass or two,” he said. “Come, let us have a carefree meal.”

He’d made his stance clear enough. We all sat down as our eyes roamed over the lavish spread of dwarf cuisine on the table. Lekius—or perhaps his servants—had thought of everything: there was even a small basket full of magic gemstones in front of Alice for Carol to feed on.
