The talks of cooperation continued without mention until the banquet concluded, Baron Frederick and Smith never brought up the matter.
The reason was simple, first, the Mawey brothers' identities needed to be verified, and second, whether 'Mercury Blood' was as miraculous as Marvin claimed, the legendary Superior Magic Potion.
While the identity issue couldn't be resolved immediately, the authenticity of Mercury's Blood could be verified the next day. Baron Frederick would use the quickest means to find Second Prince Shukri, report Marvin's arrival, and get in touch with the Church.
Before reaching a conclusion...
Naturally, they needed to secure Marvin and his companions first.
"Mr. Nicholas!"
After the banquet ended, Stuart invited Marvin and his companions to sit in the tasting room for a while. Drunk and in a merry state, Stuart was mostly pleased because the Mercury's Blood Marvin produced proved his capability, earning him prestige in his father's eyes.
