‘And strangely enough, they’re not entirely wrong.’b40925f6dae1458a

The main rumors were that 72fe157cb8 the owner was a foreign 86a49cb92d investor or a noble lady 2c3b038096 who stayed at home—and both 808635bde3 were half correct.2586b1fcbb2d4258

A week ago, 1ac320ab49 Locke’s trading ship ede8d8552d finally returned to 9cb3f2d325 the Empire.79b24b36638795d7

Given how massive b3bd0aa9f7 the ship was, 80295e60af unloading its cargo b3e6e34cd4 of imported goods 3df1c5c690 naturally took some 7e8058e476 time.94d6168c38ca98f5

The ingredients produced bbe4ea40d8 within the Empire 4193bf78b3 had clear limitations. Most were restricted 035f36adc3 to floral or 01b6bbbd77 fruity scents.6caac038df621f31

When I first agreed to a1cd3aaad8 the contract with Locke for dce58d41ff the import of ingredients, Tristan cbc9b49b6a had made one specific condition.304f5d3305956a6f

Because of that, even if 80b94e0f17 I wanted to avoid him, 7303012484 I had to meet him ed961f70d2 face-to-face several times.8d7905880d24f833
