Chapter 65

"I heard that it was completed." He stated as he entered the large and new building with his aunt and two sworn shields.

Nycho Nystoris, the leaders of the glassmakers he'd liberated from Myr nodded with a bow and led the way to the inner portion of the building where the main work was going on.

They had to pass through a security check because of how tightly secured the whole building. Or they would have if he was not the lord who initiated the construction of the whole building.

After passing through another room, they finally came out in a large storage room where a few wooden crates were kept.

"Here my lord. Here." Nycho said enthusiastically, opened one of the crate and took out a panel of rectangular glass from it the size of 1x1 meter and displayed it to them proudly.

He noticed that the glass looked a little impure and had a few bubbles but despite that it was still in far better condition than the glass made my the Glassmakers from Myr with their primitive methods which left the glass with a milky texture and more than it's fair share of bubbles inside it.

"This is the best glass we've ever made." Nycho said proudly and he could see some tears building up at the corner of his eyes "Even when I was a slave working under the Magisters of Myr, I never made a glass of such high quality."

At that point, the tears started falling down his cheeks and he gave an awkward look to his aunt and sworn shields who looked unaffected by it.

"There there." He said, awkwardly trying to pet the older man's back.

"Thank you my lord." Nycho sobbed. "Thank you for freeing us from that hellhole. And thank you for giving us the opportunity to continue our work even here."

Then the man bowed to him and continued to bow until he told the man that it was alright.

After that, he and his aunt surveyed the rest of the glass panels which were of about equal in quality if not size and once the older man got back control over his emotions, he started thinking about the best ways to sell this new produce of his lands.

Myr would no doubt declare him their sworn enemy once they found out that he had taken their monopoly on Glass.

So he'll probably have to keep an eye on the Magisters of that city and make sure that they don't do something foolish like sending an army at his domain or a faceless assassin after him.

If they truly make any plans for such a thing to happen then he'll just have to kill all of them in a giant fiery explosions.

He usually avoided killing people who had not directly harmed him or those close to him. But being a head auror had also taught him to be ruthless when it was required of him.

The survey ended with him thinking about using transfiguration magic to make a glass sculpture made of pure glass. His glass workers would never be able to duplicate it but it would definitely be a good advertisement.

Something like Robert caving in the chest of Rhaegar Targaryen in the Battle of Trident would definitely put him in good royal graces and get him free taxes over the export of his glass.

And then maybe he could later take similar commissions for a minimum of 100,000 gold dragons? Just a thought.
