In the shrouded cover of the night, A figure could be faintly seen moving stealthily through the window flap and out of his courtroom. This certain person displayed profound concealment skills that would put every renowned Ninja to shame, within three breaths of time, he had mistily moved to the gate where sharp-eyed soldiers were currently guarding every tooth and nail. Pausing for a few breaths, he suddenly erased every bit of Qi leaking out from his body and blended entirely with the surroundings, he then used that fleeting moment to scale the gate higher than 10 feet and pushed himself to the main road before letting out series of accomplished laughs. Aeries had hesitated for a too long a while about when to sneak out since obviously his war-ridden father was forever so sharp and attentive to anything happening around him. Having tasted the poisonous pill of deep regret when he tried sneaking back from the Red Blood Forest and having to pass through the guards stationed there, he had built a sinking fear of being caught. Thankfully all worked well at last. But even at that, it was because his father wasn’t in his designed mansion….. he left sometime in the evening for the official party hosted by the current aging king for all noble houses attending the competition. Every time he remembered what happened in the Crossed hammer pavilion he gritted his teeth in anger and frustration. Only A mother carrying her child would know how far the road is, the pup on her back could only feel boredom. [1] [1: Idiom. In this case, means only the person with the gold knows how hard it was to get it.] Moving swiftly through the thick twining road he finally got to his destination, the main royal market. Even at night the business of this place still left one gasping in amazement. Although back on earth lots of market Spars and Main Avenues were larger and bustier than this, the diversity of goods and services here left his previous world in the dust. It was said that before, the Royal market wasn’t as popular and large as it is now, in fact, it wasn’t even known as the Royal market but something along the lines of 'Buyers and sellers convection' or 'see if you like anything. Because the previous king was not a man of much intellect in the way of Trade and business, he spent countless years raising his flags for war and copping up all kinds of strategies to overthrow nearby countries and engulf them to form the current Joran kingdom of recent; he let traders and noble houses take advantage of that and stretch their hands far out in the business sector of the kingdom… in fact then the Royal house could only unsteadily hold 10% of the total revenue passing throughout the kingdom while the remainder was shared unequally with the 6 founding Houses and the affiliate houses under them. It was until the new, now aging king, came into power did he use his iron fist to put everything under his control…. He renovated the tattered trade place and opened a whole new larger market, setting a rule that all the Main businesses should be transferred here and defaulters would be sanctioned accordingly….. Many houses saw this and grumbled, instinctively counting all the gains the king would make with this sudden monopoly, it was after several heads flew in two months and all queries of the 6 founding families went unheard did they finally sit in and cooperate to begin all their transactions here, making this place the booming market it is today. Aeries moved from shop to shop filled with awe at the multiple Antique sold in the shops. He then followed his new memories and finally reached the middle of the trading space… standing tall and firm like and mountain, yet adorn with multiple precious stones and glass. The large building in front of him now was like a sculpture of beauty, clothed with silver and gold to further emphasized her natural endorsement........ This Hall was the Empire Trading Hall!!! When counting the loss of famous shops in the kingdom, this Hall wasn't mentioned, not because it was lacking luster... But inversely because its grandeur left no room for any other to be called in the same sentence with it... Undoubtedly the first in any trade! The empire rumoredly created shops in all the countries under its justification to both act as a fundraiser and a recognizance. To send relevant information to and from the Imperial Capital and also act on behalf of the Imperial House when necessary. No matter the skirmish between houses in a country or even between countries in the empire, the Imperial Trading hall was not to be touched or used by any means for their benefit…. This wasn’t because of the many hidden powerhouses in the Hall but also because the Verdict was sent down directly from the Imperial house, so although the Royal houses in all the adjourned countries knew specifically that the Imperial Trade house was used as the Hand the Imperial house either secretly or openly use to spy on the other Kingdoms affairs, there was absolutely nothing there could do about it except swallowing the bitter pill and doning their faces with self-righteous smiles every time the Representatives or ambassadors blatantly came to ‘glance through’ their state of affairs. The reason Aeries choose this place was simple… Their transparency! And also their efficiency. After eating the bitter soup of regret at the cross hammer pavilion, he decided that it wasn't worth it to waste Coins uselessly on 'cheap products' why not just wholly use them and get the best his Coins could offer Although the Imperial Trading Hall would seem bad to people, this was only because of the constant bad rumors spread out by those revenge-seeking Royals that couldn’t bear to swallow a loss, they constantly try to reduce the customers who would buy things from there, and thus reducing the income flow of the Imperial House. But even at that, all they did was to redirect one or two unsuspicious poor folks to their shops and as compared to the hundreds of people zooming in and out from the Imperial Trading Hall every minute, their effort could not even be put in the eyes. Even right now in front of Aeries countless people lined up to show their entry cards to gain entry to the Hall, “Next!” “From the house of Krieger, Aeries Krieger” Aeries showed his identity plate that was normally given to all legitimate children and others that could gain favor in the eyes of Master Torres. “Oho, A direct line you say of the Krieger you say, this should be the first time I’ve ever seen one this young” The guard smirkingly remarked.
