“Well, let’s go then.”
I turned around and waved to the others who stood by the door.
“Have a safe journey!”
The servants said with a bow.
And then we were off.
…I thought I had heard the voices of Ms.
Claire and the others as well…
Milina was a servant in training, but it seemed off for Ms.
Claire to be in sync with them.
It was with such thoughts that we left the mansion.
As we were on Leo, it was much faster than riding a carriage.
“Good Leo is so fast.
At this rate, we’ll reach Ractos in half the amount of time.”
“Indeed.
She usually adjusts her speed to match the horses.
Besides, she’s also careful so that the rider doesn’t fall off.
Leo would be even faster if she was alone.”
Sebastian was very impressed by Leo’s speed while riding.
But if Leo was running her fastest, she could probably reach Ractos in a matter of minutes… I would have no hope of staying on if she ran that fast now.
“By the way, Sebastian…”
“Yes, what is it?”
“What are you going to do in Ractos?”
It was unusual for Sebastian to leave the mansion alone.
In fact, I don’t think he had done it once since my arrival.
So surely there must be a good reason for him to leave and visit the town now.
“It concerns that store.
I want to see it in person… There is information one can’t acquire if they just stay in the house.”
“There is…?”
“Yes.
If I stay in the mansion, all the information that comes in is just hearsay.
And it’s important to actually go and see and hear things for yourself.
Besides, it’s best to get information while it’s still fresh.”
“Fresh…”
Yes, there definitely is a difference when it comes to information you got on your own.
Seeing is better than hearing, after all… Well, sometimes…
In any case…communication technology was not advanced at all in this world.
So it could take a while for you to acquire the latest information.
Perhaps gaining information on sight was more important than I thought.
Well, even information on the internet wasn’t always correct.
And so it was best to find out for yourself when possible.
“Also, I have to go to Kalis’s store.”
“Why is that?”
“To tell him to lower the prices.
Kalis is a good merchant, but…I do not think he will agree to lowering the price of something that is already selling so well.”
“I can understand why.”
As the illness was still spreading in Ractos, the Ramogi would continue to fly off shelves without any price adjustments.
However, in order to ensure that the poor had access to it, we had decided to lower the prices for a limited time.
But for a merchant, it was just decreasing your profits, and so he was not likely to take it well.
“A mere letter may not be enough to satisfy him.
Though, he would hardly refuse, especially since it is to help the poor.”
“I see.”
“He also understands how His Grace likes to conduct things.
The people of this land should be able to live as comfortably as possible… That is the principle of his businesses.”
