The reputation that used to be negative became something positive, when announcing my name, whether to other trading houses or small kingdoms, everyone was interested in knowing the one who had no talent and so when negotiating, whether products, goods, everything became easier.
Despite my age of only 12 I was taken seriously, after all in this world at 15 a man could already have a family and when associated with the fact that I was Zou vogen's son that gave me an advantage.
I spent the next few years traveling to every corner of the Red Dominion selling and buying. The negotiations that were done barely paid the salary of the Knights who followed me.
Despite finding me useless, my father would never allow his offspring to be intimidated and so as a companion I received 3 knights of rank 12. A medium force but for the work I carried out, they were enough.
The small bandits during the trails were easily dealt with by them.
My luck started to change when at 16 I entered the Quinn Kingdom.
This kingdom is a small kingdom north of Berovia that has mountains all around and is famous for its huge amount of ores.
As the kingdom was mountainous, they basically depended on foreign trade to sell raw ore and also swords, shields and armor used by knights. My goal was to get the right to sell these goods in Berovia.
If all went well I could increase the annual income of the Vogel house by at least 20%
I left for the royal city Quinn and on the way I found the one who would become my wife.
When approaching a mountain path we hear sounds of battles, an occurrence like in the red domain. Then I noticed out of the corner of my eye a woman running towards me as if her life depended on it, I signaled for the guards to stop to observe the situation.
Soon after, 2 other warriors dressed completely in black with swords with blood in their hands appeared.
All were level 10 and simply attacked us without assessing our strength.
My guards with few movements killed the enemies and then I had the opportunity to look at the woman.
The first thing I noticed was her athletic figure, she wore a leather outfit used for hunting, had blonde hair tied in a ponytail, had big breasts and a delicious ass.
Aria Quinn introduced herself and then thanked her for saving her life and then proceeded to tell the story.
She was the fourth princess of the Quinn kingdom and was doing hunting training when she was attacked by these assassins who wanted to kill her at all costs.
Those 2 were the last two of the team of 10 assassins, the other 8 were killed by the princess guards who also died.
After learning that I was a merchant and noticing the strength of my guards, she decided to hire me to escort her back to the city.
I didn't miss the opportunity and accepted, after all I needed just a link with the Quinn royal family and so I was lucky to know this link even before arriving in the city.
Unfortunately Aria did not have any real power in the kingdom, perhaps her only power is being the beloved daughter of the King, always being spoiled with the best resources but he always said that she would never worry about problems and intrigues of the kingdom's power.
But even though Aria doesn't have any kind of real power, it still caused the envy of her other 3 sisters and 5 brothers and she suspected that one of them had recruited assassins.
Upon arriving in the royal capital and informing his father about what happened, the King was furious and ordered that the matter be discovered.
In the end there was no concrete answer and a family that had nothing to do with the situation but that had disagreements with the king was used as a scapegoat and ended up being exterminated.
My reward for saving the princess was to marry her.
The king called me for a private conversation and told me that, together with my reputation for being useless and that I was just a merchant, it would help his daughter to have a peaceful life, far from the struggle for power.
And so he gave me the mission to spend the next few years trying to win over his daughter.
So after 2 years of trying I married Aria and finally lost my virginity to this world.
