The day had come to visit the merchant’s shop. I was in his meeting room, which wasn’t just a small booth, but a proper reception area. The tea and snacks I’d been served were very high quality too; it seemed I was getting the VIP treatment. He didn’t serve anything to my guards, the Blazing Valkyries, but that was probably par for the course. No proper bodyguard would eat something served by an opposing party anyway. If the client they’d been protecting ended up getting poisoned, no one would hire them even if they survived. I mean, I wouldn’t want to hire such useless guards either.

“Now, do you agree to the previously discussed purchase price of ninety gold coins?” I asked.

“Yes, I’d be absolutely thrilled to accept your offer, but...are you sure about this? While the purchase price when dealing with the guild is that any non-merchant can sell their wares immediately without getting cheated, they act as an intermediary between the seller and purchasing merchant. This means the guild would require their cut too, so the price would be significantly lower compared to whatever price may be reached when negotiating directly with a proper merchant. I must admit, it doesn’t feel right to pay you even less than that, especially when considering your money will be used for charity work,” the merchant said.

I mean, I knew all of that already.

“Mister merchant, it would be far safer and easier for me to have you purchase them instead of looking for a proper retailer and negotiating with them,” I replied. “In that sense, missing out on a few percent of the sale price really isn’t a concern. I can simply make up for the difference by selling better quality goods or a larger quantity.”

The merchant seemed to be at a loss for words. Maybe because what I’d just said implied that I had so many gemstones that I didn’t even care about how many I’d have to sell—not that my wares would necessarily be limited to gemstones.

“Your Holiness, I have one request to ask of you,” he said.

Huh, he looks pretty serious. I wonder what this is about?

I didn’t think he’d be the type to say anything weird, but maybe I’d been too forward with flaunting my potential wealth.

“It’s just...if you could please learn and start calling me by my name, I would greatly appreciate it.”

“Oh...”

Yeah, that was my bad. I had a habit of remembering people by titles like “merchant” or “guard” if I didn’t think I’d have long-term relations with them. It couldn’t have been pleasant to be on the receiving end of that.

Yeah, sorry about that.

And so, the negotiation for the three small gemstones I’d shown at the Commerce Guild was complete, but I felt like it’d be a waste for things to end here. The merchant—I mean, Darsen of the Oris Trade Company—was the owner of a decently-sized business, and he seemed trustworthy. What’s more, he seemed to be a devout believer in the Goddess Celestine, so he’d never think of deceiving or betraying me as her priestess.
