If you look at her inner thoughts, it wasn’t like that.
The focus of the news was the only two people Isolda recognized, and admired. While listening to their dazzling performance, Isolda was feeling more excitement than Yuria ever could.
‘What is this…that’s really great! The revenue coming in to us is 8 million talets! I knew that trade with the east would be profitable, but I never expected to reap this much profit. This is not only due to the particularity of Eastern Trade, but Bahamut…it’s possible because of that man!’
A profit of 8 million talets was equivalent to 4 years of sales for the Beden Merchant Company!
Of course, the money wasn’t earned without hardwork.
Bahamut first subdued Bertina and took the share of the Eastern Trade. In addition, he had to wait patiently for a year with the possibility of failure, and even the last transaction process wasn’t without its fair share of troubles.
However…Bahamut did it!
The man overcame such immense difficulties.
He gained the biggest profit in the history of the Beden Merchant Company…no, the profit was so huge that it would remain as a record throughout the history of the commercial world.
‘What is he going to do with this much money? That’s literally enough money to buy a country. Depending on how you use it, you can shake the continent’s landscape.’
Great wealth would become a powerful force that would allow one to accomplish anything. Depending on how you use that power, you can make things happen that can be far beyond what ordinary people tend to think.
On the battlefield, you can make someone a winner or a loser. In the political arena, the king can be made into an absolute ruler or a puppet of the nobles.
You can lead thousands of citizens to happiness, or you can send them to hell. You could turn a country on the map into an empire, or you could wipe it off the map entirely.
The man who possessed such absurdly great power…was the only man Isolda has ever bowed down to.
It was her only Master.
How will he use that immense power?
It was hard for Isolda to even clearly imagine as things stood at the moment.
‘I don’t know, but… it’s clear that the name Beden Merchant Company will make the continent tremble. Maybe he can ascend to the throne that no merchant has reached before.’
In the midst of such intense excitement, a smile automatically formed on Isolda’s lips without her knowledge. In addition, her personal feelings for the man got even deeper.
At that moment…
“I…Isolda!”
A voice full of urgency was heard.
“Yes?”
In response, Isolda and Yuria turned their gazes at the source, and their faces began to fill with surprise and bewilderment instead of the expectations and excitement they had so far.
***
A rough and large carriage was going along the road.
As if loaded with something heavy inside, it slowly slowed down as it reached its destination, and before long stopped completely.
“Aoohh! We’re here. We’re finally here.”
“You’ve suffered.”
Right after getting off the carriage, a silver-haired woman began to stretch her body.
A woman in a maroon robe immediately followed after and got off the carriage.
And…the two slowly walked forward.
In front of them, were hundreds of knights, fully armed with silver-white armor, lined up in a row.
The silver-haired woman looked straight ahead and shouted with a dignified voice.
“For Her Majesty the Emperess!”
As soon as her voice was heard, the knights straightened their swords and showed their respect by bowing their heads.
“For Her Majesty!!!”
Looking at them, the silver-haired woman…no, the White Dragon Princess of the Dragona Empire, Elios Noshelat Dragona, turned around and also bowed in respect to the woman in the maroon robe behind her.
And, the object of respect of so many people, the Rose Emperess of the Dragona Empire…Mina Roseveta Dragona, showed a calm smile on her lips.
‘The warning is over. The declaration of war is also over. Then, all that remains is war!’
