Rogen was seating next to Eric, his late was filled with meat, which came from a hind leg of a swineThis made him scratch his head as he gets a big slice, he was looking at all the people around and noticed that all of them had large pieces of meat. Next to Rogen"s plate is a goblet filled with wine, utensils were next to his plate, it was composed of a knife, and fork which were made of gold.
Eric then spoke to Rogen, " Well, I guess you may not like the taste of this food. But you should give it a try, as this is the prepared food of our bests chefs in the kitchen, just imagine your tasting a portion of exotic food."
Rogen then pick up his utensils, he then started to slice a portion of meat, he then uses the fork to put the piece of meat to his mouth. As he chewed up the meat he then commented to himself, [ Hmm, this taste is not bad at all, but it is not as delicious. If I rank it I would say just okay, the taste salty and sweet, hmm, and some herbs. The saltiness must come from salt, the sweetness hmm, honey yes it"s definitely honey. Now, why don"t they use pepper as that gives more taste than salt?]
Rogen then faced Eric and asked, " Prince may I ask, why don"t you use pepper with salt in your dishes, it will surely make the food more delicious. Also, why don"t you also use sugar as a sweetener?"
The king and everyone in the room turned their attention to Rogen when they heard the word pepper came out of his mouth.
The servants then started whispering to each other. One of the servants whispered, " Such a picky eater, doesn"t he know how hard it is to find pepper, especially with its price and location. He should be glad saying something like that." One of the servants replied whispering, " Shh, don"t say that if he heard you he might ask for your head, you still don"t know what kind of personality he has."
The king then spoke to Rogen, " Well to tell you the truth, pepper, is actually very hard to get because of its price and location, even I only have twenty-three sacks of pepper. I only use them for special occasions."
Eric who was listening had an idea of how he will impress his father with the country of Rogen, but he scolded himself internally for not telling his father about the food and spices he saw.

He then coughed getting the attention of his father and the people inside the room, " Father sorry for sir Rogen"s words. I think he only said that as his country has the most delicious food I have tasted, he only said that as his country is rich in pepper and spices. We can ask sir Rogen on how much pepper they produce."
The king was surprised to hear that the country that Rogen came from had pepper, so he immediately asked Rogen, " Well sir Rogen my son has said that you have pepper in your country, I"m also curious about how much do you produce."
Rogen immediately replied without knowing how much really pepper cost, everyone listened carefully to Rogen.
Rogen spoke, " Well we produce about 12 metric tonnes per month," everyone was a shock after hearing tonnes but did not know what metric tonnes mean, they all knew how much weight is tonnes.
A commotion inside the room sounded, " the servants we"re talking 12 tonnes monthly that"s a lot, then they must be really rich if they do have such a thing." Another servant spoke, " Well I guess that explains the reason he was looking for pepper."
The king"s jaws almost dropped after hearing Rogen"s words, he never thought that his son would bring quite a rich guest to their country which had access to pepper.
The king then spoke, " so it seems you are a producer of pepper, well I have been dumbfounded at this situation. I was looking for peppers and now the peppers came to me how hilarious it is don"t you think Sir Rogen, You already know what I want."
Rogen spoke, " You want to trade with us I"m I correct, you Majesty."
King replied, " very correct sir Rogen but I know you don"t want to give those peppers easily."
Rogen was actually planning to give the pepper easily but hearing what the King said, he then came up with an idea.
Rogen spoke, " correct, so what can you trade with me, so I can give those pepper easily accessible by you."
The king then spoke, " well money and some rare minerals as found here."
Rogen them replied, " Hmm, let me ask my superior about this before I will give an official statement."
Eric who heard the entire conversation was smiling and thought to himself, [ It seems I am getting closer to my goals. Now to further improve my goals.]
Eric spoke, " Father you remember the talk we have before we arrived here."
The king immediately remembered, " Wait, you have actually done a great job my son hahaha. Tomorrow, send a message to everyone high to come here in 2 days for a meeting. The meeting is all about the proposed alliance of Sirius and my son"s guests" home country."
Eric felt very happy as his father will have finally approved the proposal very early without him being able to see the full capabilities of Rogen"s country. He then said to himself [ Well this is going quite smoothly as I plan, but this is also quite fast to be authorized by father. Well I hope this flow would continue flawlessly, I just hope no one intervenes in my plans.]
The doors suddenly burst open, a man with the same chestnut hair with Prince Eric endured the room, he was wearing armor and a second in his waist. He was also quite handsome but had an aura of so.one sinister.
The man spoke, " Father I have returned to see my big brother for his return, I wanted to greet him in his room but I was told that he had already been in the dining hall to have lunch, that"s why I am here, now where is my big brother."
Eric slapped himself after seeing the man and spoke internally, [ f.u.c.k why is he here, this is gonna be problematic.]
