A Second Deal With the Margraves (Part-3)

Lady Miranda's acceptance of the deal naturally made Alexander very pleased.

Given her family's facilities and expertise, Alexander was hopeful he would be able to have a functional navy faster than he thought.

"Please wait here, let me fetch you the blueprints," 

And so, in return, Alexander quickly showed them the ships they were building, and how they were able to get such a huge size.

"Using iron pegs instead of wood! Ingenious!" 

Lord Janus was both very surprised and a bit bitter that he had not been able to think of such a simple solution sooner.

But at least he knew it now, and with his expertise as a shipwright, did feel that with this stronger skeleton, a much bigger ship could likely be built.

Which made the aged lord very happy.

"Hahaha, good, good, with these new ships, we can definitely beat the Kaiser family in the water. Definitely! Bastards won't stand a chance"
