a boy around sixteen years of age with green emerald-like eyes and dusty brown hair appeared in front of faes and others. he had pointed ears and pale skin while being tall- taller than normal kids around the age.

faes stared at the elf, shocked. the boy was not only good looking but also a prince and the CEO of the company they were currently in.
leo who dismissed the lady as he turned to his guest smiling
"lets continue this discussion somewhere else. please follow me" leo said to faes. he had been following them around trying to figure out why these girls were buying lots of things from their company. he had opened this company a year ago but the company haven't developed much.
he had sold many things he got his hands on but because the competition with other companies barely anyone noticed his shop. he had tried many things, advertisements, discounts and even going as far as selling rare herbs and secret techniques.
but because people were used to buying things from well-established companies they barely bought anything on large scale from his company. after all he barely had any background or well-established backer. he had a partner too but that partner betrayed him and joined a well established company talking away his remaining strength and leaving him alone.
in the end he was not gaining any profit from anything sold, and was planning to close the company. after all he was an elf prince second prince of kingdom elfrida, when he decided to open a business establishment his whole family refused to support him other than his mother. he can understand their feelings, elves were fond of freedom, they mostly stayed close to nature depending on it for most of their necessities.
though elves had accepted technology to an extent they were still not as developed as other kingdoms. they believed by staying close to nature they can develop better. he thought so too but after he saw the technologies and other lifestyles he got tempted enough to open a company.
he had hidden the fact that he was a prince and those who knew have forgotten about it aside from his family. now that he was going to close the company he might as well listen what these ladies have to say. who knows he might get some profit from it.
"you guys go to mystic fog castle along with the things we bought i will catch up later" faes said as she sent the other three to mystic fog castle. leo blinked in surprise, this wasn't his first time witnessing someone vanishing but it felt slightly different.
"don't worry about them- my sister can use space magic and can teleport away with others" faes didn't elaborate. she wont tell others about mystic fog castle being a special existence. not when she didn't trust them.
"please lets continue" faes said after leo came out of his shock
"please follow me" leo said and then led faes to his office meeting room on tenth floor.
the whole place was filled with various plants and veins, even the theme was green blue and other similar shades. with the place it felt like they arrived in a forest.
faes sat in front of leo with a neutral look
"let me introduce myself first- my name is leo the owner of natures blessing" leo said as he observed faes. he found he cant actually even tell what race she belonged to. her cultivation level was also unknown! though he cant feel any killing intent or pressure from her, leo felt she wasn't as simple as she seem.
"my name is faes" faes replied vaguely not giving much information about herself while she was still wearing her usual masks hence he wont figure out her identity easily.
"i would like to listen to the conditions you want to discuss" leo said
"i would like to establish a contract with the firm. the company will send me the things i wish to buy per month while i will pay ten percent higher price than the market. but i wish to get priority over buying the things i wish to. while i also have another deal-
i can help you promote your company but in return, i want forty percent of the profit. the company will be responsible for supplying materials" faes said.
leo heard the girl younger than himself and couldn't help his surprise. after all he wanted to be successful and show his family that this was his way of living freely. after his interest got piqued he leaned forward.
"and how do you plan to help the company? if i may ask- you are barely twelve years old, i can not even tell what race you are much less your cultivation how do i trust you?" leo asked narrowing his eyes but faes simply smiled in return. her aura burst around as she allowed the hide zero to show her race as an elf, after all she had lots of races bloodline in her.
leo stared at the girl in front of him in shock. an elf and a powerful one at that! even he was weaker than her!
while leo was only king establishment stage 1 faes was peak king establishment stage 5 cultivator and she was younger than him.
"i am an alchemist as is my sister. we have been creating specific pills and potions unique to the particular person for some time now. if you agree to our contract we can work with your company. the people will tell us what kind of pill or potion they want along with their allergies and diseases while we will make special ones for them from the materials the company will provide. we will only take limited number of applications per month after all we are still kids. the payment these people offer can be either money points or other rare material of all kind and even weapons or other tools of sufficient standard which we can divide between us at the agreed ratio" faes smiled at the end.
leo heard what faes said and stared at the girl for a long time. he couldn't make sense of anything faes wanted to do. by opening such a function their company will indeed get more customers and the publicity will get it profit but wont it be better if they increased the amount of applications they accept each month. he cant understand why faes was restricting the number and he also wasn't sure if kids their age can even make basic pills much less unique specialized pills for everyone.
"its a good offer but how would i know your alchemy standard without testing? how about this, if you can produce a better pill than our chief alchemist then we can continue our discussion" leo said.
in the end whether he liked or not, he was still a businessman. if he agreed to all people who come to him with a proposal, and after that they turn out to be trash he will have more losses than profit his company.
while he might even agree if the person making the proposal was an old man with years of experience but no matter how he saw faes was only eleven years of age.
"alright i agree" faes agreed without hesitation. following which leo took faes to their alchemy department and summoned his chief alchemist who looked to be a middle aged man.
