Chapter 57: Don’t you dare to fool my husband! (I)

The merchants exchanged glances, and as if they could communicate with their minds, they had a tacit understanding of what to do.

Naturally, as a merchant, they wouldn't miss the chance of getting these perfect pearls. They could sell it for triple or even quadruple the regular pearl's price. 

They could also commission jewelry from these pearls and mark up the price until only the royals could afford it.

The possibilities were endless, but they couldn't afford this sack of best-quality pearls without breaking their savings. 

Hence, they devised a plan. 

"These pearls are surely the best quality, Your Majesty. However, I don't think it would sell for a high price," the merchant from the Rianel Kingdom said. 

"Why not?" 

"Because pearls aren't the trend right now," the merchant from Holy Achate added. "Gemstones, especially ruby, are the current trend because they are hard to come by. Only old women would wear pearls."
