As everyone finally calmed down the noise they started, the meeting continued to proceed.King Danilo spoke, "well now I know why every one of you here in this room is now wondering, why I want to introduce this young man to you. Well, the reason is because of a certain product where we can use to increase our kingdom"s income."
Rafael then asks king Danilo, "so what is that product that the young man has knowledge about, that you even troubled your busy schedule by calling everyone here."
Danilo immediately replied, "It"s pepper"
Everyone in the room started whispering to the people next to them. One of the n.o.bles in the room said, "pepper, that"s actually a very expensive item. I remember the war Two hundred years ago because of the said pepper, even today pepper is still a very valuable item that other countries are willing to wage war."
Another n.o.ble comment, "If we can get those peppers it means that young lad"s presence is definitely important for us."
Lyra commented on King Danilo"s words, " Then your highness how come you are sure about the reliability of what this man said."
King Danilo replies, "Don"t worry Prince Eric has proved it to me. Also, the peppers are said to be higher quality than the current pepper, in the market today. White pepper is also available in that country which is used for preparing seafood, dishes."
The master of the merchant guild immediately spoke after hearing about the quality of peppers, " My king I"m now quite interested in those pepper, imagine how much would that bring to our kingdom if we manage to buy those peppers and sell them to neighboring countries."

The king immediately replied, "I have already thought about it, but the problem is the transport of the product if we start a trade with them. You already know how dangerous the route going to the Island of no return."
Prince Eric immediately let out a cough to get everyone else attention. Everyone immediately looks at Eric.
Eric spike, "you don"t have to worry about the transportation of the pepper as their navy is powerful enough to send fear to the monsters and pirates lurking in the seas."
Everyone didn"t care about the power of the navy but were feeling relieved after hearing that the country of Dariel, can deliver the pepper safely.
The n.o.ble merchant spoke, "well I do want to see those peppers in real life. I am not certain if the prince tells the truth. But if they were real I would do what I said earlier on trading pepper."
King Danilo spoke, "Well, I already know that your gonna ask me about that so I have prepared a cultural exchange that will be held in ten days, which is also the same date as the foundation anniversary of our country. The event will present the different products, cultures, and foods of sir Rogen"s country, and in exchange, we will also do the same in the country of Dariel after a month of the celebration, which will be conducted and headed by some selected people present here."
Everyone was happy for the cultural exchange but they were also felt fear after hearing that they will go to the Island of no return. Most of the people present in the room were praying that they won"t get chosen to go.
Eric immediately spoke to King Danilo in a voice that everyone can hear, "Father why don"t we also try their military during the cultural exchange."
Eric made this suggestion after seeing the reactions of the people in the room when they heard that they will be going to the Island of no return. He made this suggestion to show them how safe the Island of no return when seeing the military power of Dariel.
The king replied to Eric, "Well I guess that would not be a problem at all, I"m sure seeing the military power of Dariel is gonna add a sense of security in the festival."
Argus comments immediately about Dariel"s military, "Hmph I can"t believe it, your highness, you are going to allow barbarians to partic.i.p.ate in the security of the foundation anniversary. You are like opening the gates for the wolves who are looking at us like prey."
King Danilo replied, "Well don"t worry Argus, your knights are in charge of the whole festival events. They will only be doing security on the cultural exchange venue, not the entire city."
Argus just spoke, "I guess that is ok, but if they will interfere with our works they will get what they deserve after interfering."
King Danilo asks the people, "Well are there any more problems or questions, regarding the current results of this meeting."
Rafael raises his hands, " King I want to know the other products that we will see in the country, of Dariel. I will be expecting more than just peppers, do they have products that they made by themselves, were no other countries has that product."
King Danilo then told Eric, "Why don"t we hear Eric about the other products, of the country of Dariel. I"m sure you will get a clue about the things you might want."
Eric then narrated the products he used in the country of Dariel. " One of the products I used is the shampoo, which actually made my hair look silkier and smell good. Even I"m a man I enjoyed that product quite a lot even it is targetted towards women."
"A soap we all know what soap is, but to tell you the truth, the soap of that country is very high quality and has a good scent. You even, feel the freshness of taking a bath after trying the soaps."
"Medicine, the medicine they use is very effective, some of them are not made with herbs and plants but with chemicals. They even have medicine to cure the white death which is commonly called by their medical workers as tuberculosis. They even have medicine that can increase the chances of living or even curing a person that is affected by the black death."
Everyone was surprised after hearing about the medicines that we"re able to cure the two deadliest plagues that killed millions about a tree centuries ago.
Eric continues to speak, "The processed food that they sell there is quite useful, those foods can last for over years, so imagine how useful would that be to the military operations and natural disasters that might happen, we can immediately stop hunger.
"Their papers, pens, notebooks, and pencils are quite a surprise to me. We all know our paper is made from animal skin. But even that is not in good quality and is also quite expensive. Imagine a cheap and high-quality paper, which is very smooth and clean that you might even think it is more expensive than the paper we use. "
"The pencils, on the other hand, is one of my favorites imagine if you"re writing a doc.u.ment and made an error, you would surely throw the paper as you cannot remove the letters, it is like throwing away the money of the government to buy those papers. So the pencil you can erase the letters you wrote, saving much more money than using a quill and ink."
Everyone immediately became interested even more after hearing the products of the country, Lyra was thinking about the effects of shampoo and soaps to her if she uses them.
