Vici, as the manager of a Glass Factory, was somewhat wary when he saw Prince Gro come in with Richard. He feared that Richard had successfully deceived Prince Gro and was coming to steal the glassmaking techniques. But Richard's subsequent actions convinced him that this was not the case. In fact, it was the exact opposite, judging from Richard's familiarity with everything, it appeared that he might possess even higher levels of glassmaking expertise. The production of Cobalt Blue Glass was proof of this.
So, when Richard began to explain the making of colored Cobalt Blue Glass, Vici decided to conduct some preliminary experiments to inspect the effects of the Cobalt Blue Glass. He discovered that Cobalt Blue Glass was indeed quite beautiful, but because its hue was on the colder side, it had limited use. Other than for decorating church stained glass windows, the Nobles generally wouldn't fancy this type of glass. The Nobles preferred larger and more transparent glass.
