In the capital of the kingdom of Markaz, the two merchants were waiting in a room for the king to arrive. Much to their surprise, it was easy for them to arrange a meeting, so much so that Levi was sweating a lot because of how nervous he was. On the other hand, Persia was completely fine until she looked to her side and noticed Levi.

‘You are disgusting; do you know that?’ She looks at him, covering her nose.

‘What did you say? I’m nervous; I’m not even smelling; you just hate me, don’t you?’ He pointed his finger at her.

‘Not even my husband points his finger to my face, you coward.’ Persia slapped his hand to the side.

‘Ouch! This is important; of course I would be nervous.’ Levi looks at her with an angry demeanor while massaging his hand.

‘Bla bla bla, the same old Arc talking point, you guys are so boring with your responsibility and code, not like we don’t have a code ether but, too much bla bla bla, this is important, relax... I got this.’ She laughed while slapping Levi’s back.

As the doors opened, an A-Dam came waking wearing a golden crown on top of his black hair and looking at the two merchants, giving them a mature smile. Behind him, two maids came caring sweets and tea; they put it on the table in front of the two and got out of the room. The two merchants got up and bowed to the man.

‘It’s alright, you have something to talk about with me; I wonder what it is.‘ He looked intrigued as he sat on the sofa, facing the two.

‘Your majesty, it is an honor to be in the presence of the protector, the wall of Markaz, Rex Harmia. My name is Persia Socher from the Socher Company, and this is Levi Arc from the Arc Company. We have interesting things to show you today.’ She smiled at the king.

‘It is a pleasure but I’m short on time. Can we make this quickly?’ Rex crossed his arms.

‘Of course, what are we even doing? Let’s begin.’ Levi went up and walked to the chests to his side.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Persia followed him, and as Levi took one of the devices, she snatched it from his hand and smiled at him. Walking back, she gave it to the king.

‘Wait, this..’ Levi tried to reach her.

‘This device, which can be used by the queen to dry her hair, is really convenient and an amazing gift; just put your index finger more to the top to turn it on.’ Persia rubbed her hands.

‘Like this?’ Rex put his finger where she said it.

Levi widens his eyes as the device starts working with no problem at all. Persia looks to the side and sees Levi’s jaw wide open, which confuses her. The king is amused by the device pointing at the cup of tea and seeing the liquid being pushed away and dropped on the table. He was also pointing at Persia, making her hair fly.

‘Really interesting; I think it will be an amazing gift for my beautiful wife. I’m going to show you perfection in the flesh.’ Rex pulls a small chest from underneath the couch.

It was a flat chest; he put it on his lap, opened and pulled a painting, and showed it to the two merchants. It was a Chatzi in a deep blue dress with clear blue eyes and light brown hair with an imposing look.

‘It’s like I’ve fallen in love again.’ He stares at the painting.

‘She is indeed beautiful, your majesty; you said that you didn’t have much time, so come with me; this will help you and your kingdom in the best way possible.’ Persia got up and walked to the chests again.

Levi was still shocked by the fact that the king could activate the device. He had no words as the king followed Persia to the chests. Levi turned around and just watched.

‘What is this thing? It's kind of big, but pretty.’ Rex taped the side of it.

'It's a refrigerator; it cools things; you can preserve food, cool water, and even make ice.’ She opened the door of the refrigerator.

A cool breeze came as she opened the door. Persia took a bottle of water and gave it to the king, making his hand feel the cold that was completely out of season. It took him by surprise, and without any ceremony, he drank it, making the brown-skinned merchant right in front of him widen her eyes.

‘Your majesty!!!’ She shouted.

‘What? You put poison on this?’ The king looked at her, confused.

‘No! I would never, and we would never do something like that but your action took me by surprise.’ She looked at Levi and at Rex.

‘So is fine; this device is really good and look at these things inside; I want this right now to put on the royal kitchen and thanks for the water; it's really refreshing.’ Rex took another sip.

‘There are more things to show you, your majesty but before that, we would like to ask for Nihilium as payment for this first batch of products.’ She took a more humble posture.

‘Ok, no problem, but is he okay? He is just there watching me, which is kind of creepy if you ask me.’ The king pointed at Levi with a smile on his face.

The look that Rex gave Levi made him snap back and come back to reality.

‘I’m sorry, your majesty, but I would like to propose a better deal. We can take the Nihilium as payment but we can also buy all the Nihilium you have and even use it as a discount on the next batch of products.’ Levi gave Persia a quick smirk.

‘I can work with this; we may look at more of these products and if they do something similar to these two that I saw, you two will be rich, or would it be better to say, the duchess will be rich?’ Rex gave a wide grin.
