A Second Deal with The Margraves (Part-4)

Hearing Lady Miranda's reason for not wanting to send the blacksmiths, Alexander very quickly pointed out the archaic thinking they were under, saying, 

"I'm afraid the secret that your family has is not applicable here, my lady." 

  A bold statement that drew curious eyes from both, who heard Alexander explain, 

"Because the smithing techniques you have developed were only for iron extracted using the traditional way."

"That process that has a lot of impurities, we call slag."

"But the way we make iron is different. It has much less slag."

"So our iron's properties are totally different from the traditional ones."

"That's why it is so strong."

"And that is also why the way to forge them is also very different."

"You can ask any blacksmiths if you do not believe me. my lady."

"But the fact is the secret forging techniques you have is not useful to us. So you can sleep assured, hahaha,"
