With this one anecdote done, I reached out to the side of the cart and picked up a huge mug poached from the palace kitchen this time. I found myself unable to adapt to various everyday aspects of the noble life, looking for better alternatives whenever I had the chance. And just like drinking wine from an expensive, glass cup adorned with small gems all over, sharing a cup of beer with a lively girl seemed like a much greater idea for me, especially how we were travelling on the infamous Polish roads, known to be the greatest tool against invasion, as they existed only on the maps and in travellers imagination.

"As you guys might've guessed, nothing good comes free. While I can offer you those prices at which you would buy the drinks… There will also be the upper price, at which you will be forced to sell. In short words, you can make half silver per garn on the worse kind, and a single silver on the better one. Meaning, you can sell them for one and a half, and three silvers respectively."

While it wasn't something I should be really bothered with, I honestly doubted that even watching her change would be able to spark any real reaction in me. After years of diligent training under the masters from all around the world and direct lectures from thumb-sensei and his four senior disciples, how could a simple girl that spend last three years of her life on the run even hope to arouse me?

As if humanity could remain stale for over a thousand years, and make a big leap out of nowhere in just a single, fewty years! The growth of knowledge was a geometrical one, but it only really kickstarted with the start of the information era, not the renaissance as most of the people believed!

That was the difference between an expensive horse and your average one! Before my subordinates who each had a good horse for himself even managed to push their horses into the run, I was already swimming through the air, holding myself in place with reins and allowing the momentum to carry my armed hand to the back.

Even if there was a bond between this noble and this horse before, I was almost certain that this intelligent creature recognised that I was someone new. Even with that, it still graced me with its trust, lightly raising its head in response to my rub!

As if asking everyone to enter a contest of gazes with the price being the hand of the most beautiful maiden in the entire Crown, I invited the Jew to the table. Even looking at him made me feel nostalgic about the reality that this country lost with the attack of the homicidal ideology from the west in the times to come.

Not daring to risk my composture by watching their reaction to my words, I was about to bolt from the inn as fast as I came inside when a sudden idea forced me to halt my steps.

To put it into a right perspective, average magnate would earn at least a hundred thousand red goldens through a year, after all the royal taxes and necessary expenses. That means, that despite living on the land about a tenth the size of their own, I earned about one-hundredth of their income!
