Negotiation?

"Welcome to my Laivaen City. Please take a seat."

'So, this is the rumored Marquis.' The merchants thought. They all had different opinions in their heads. 

First of all, it was clear that the marquis was the youngest person in this meeting. Yet, there were a lot of rumors about his brilliance and slyness. 

Still, it didn't change the fact that the four nobles had cornered him to the point where he had to beg for their help.

Some people thought that they could devour him. Some people carefully observed the situation and let the others make their move first. However, there were two people who feared him. 

"I'm pretty sure that you have heard about the situation, so I won't beat around the bush. I gather you here to solve that problem." Noel opened it with a calm and collected tone. 

"Goods," one of them answered.
