After taking a bath, Edgar went to his study room. He sat down on his seat and closed his eyes. His muscles still ache. He felt happy for his growing strength, even if the process was painful. He was willing to endure the pain of getting stronger rather than the pain of losing important people to him.
He opened his eyes and stretched his hand. He cast fire magic, then a fire floated on his palm. He was not able to form rune skills in his sea of consciousness, but he can still cast magic.
Edgar smiled while staring at the fire on his palm. It was a magical ability that he had been seeking for a long time.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Your highness, it is time for dinner." Elena's voice came from the door. Edgar did not even notice that it was already time for dinner. The room was starting to become dim. He went out of the study room. The lamps were already lit. It was really inconvenient without a clock, so he will order craftsmen to build them later. The clock will be a reference in making watches. Watches will be a hot commodity for wealthy people around the world.
"How is the work of a craftsman? Did you give the blueprint of an iron pot to the blacksmith?" Edgar asked Elena while they were walking to the dining room.
"Your highness, they were able to easily make the blueprints that you gave them." Elena also saw what they made, but she doesn't have an idea how the prince will use them.
"Tell them to bring what they made in the morning.Tomorrow, bring franbeans from the warehouse and the materials for grounding and steaming. You also prepare fresh pork, chicken, and fish in the kitchen because I will cook them tomorrow," ordered Edgar. Elena seemed surprised by the order. Edgar smiled. He will give her a lot more surprises tomorrow.
"You don't have to remain standing here. I know that you also work hard today. You can eat now and then start resting," said Edgar when they arrived in the dining room. He saw the hard work of the little maid earlier, and he was concerned that she might be pushing herself too much. He was happy, though, because Elena was really a capable secretary.
"No, your highness, you might have a sudden order, so I must remain by your side," replied Elena. She smiled because the prince appreciated her work that day.
"I'll let someone call you if I need you," Edgar sincerely told the maid.
"Then, thank your highness." Elena bowed and retreated.
After eating, Edgar returned to his study room and made plans for the business that he will establish the next day. He will create a business empire in the world of Aurora, and he will name it Sasha Company. Sasha was his little sister on Earth. He was afraid that he might lose himself because of the sudden gain of power and wealth. The name of the company will remind him of his real self and family.
When the two suns rose, Albert was already in the yard, waiting for the prince. He was really eager to witness the miracle of producing oil from franbeans. Edgar was eating breakfast when he was told that they were already waiting in the yard with the materials for oil production. He did not finish eating and went to the yard with Elena and his guards.
"Secure the area. Don't let anyone to peek," Edgar ordered the guards. The people who were present there were Albert, Elena, and the craftsman. "I will tell you the process of producing oil. First, grind the franbeans. Second, heat the grounded franbeans through steam in a short time. Extract the oil from the heated franbeans using the oil press, then transfer the oil to the clay pot and use it for cooking later."
He smiled at the shock expression of everyone, then he demonstrated the oil production. He looked at the shock expression that remained on their faces from beginning to end."You have seen how simple the materials and processes are in producing oil. They can be easily copied, so we must strictly guard the production of materials and oil.
Albert, find a place as a production center for oil. Oil presses and oil will be produced there. Turn that place into town, bring the family of workers there. Build markets and give free education to children of workers. Hire 1st circle water and earth magicians for efficiency in moving oil from oil press and lifting clay pots.
Let us change the name of franbeans to soybeans. I don't want the Fran kingdom to benefit from the popularity of our merchandise. Start planting soybeans near the town. Contract farmers to plant soybeans and offer a price higher than their income from planting wheat grain. Iron pot does not need to be kept secret because it isn't needed in oil production."
Edgar remembered that they did not eat breakfast. The time for frying food to appear in the world had come.
"Follow me. It is time for you to witness the revolution of cooking!"
