As Wataru prepared for his upcoming negotiation with the formidable Lord Edgar Rozen, he realized he needed every advantage. It wasn't enough to know just the basics; he had to understand what made Edgar tick. Collectors like Edgar often held intense interest in specific fields, while being dismissive of anything outside their niche. A wrong choice could close doors he needed open.
Luckily, Wataru had an ace up his sleeve—Maso, a contact with both experience and a surprising amount of influence. Maso knew Edgar personally, and her insights would be invaluable.
"So, who is this nobleman exactly?" Wataru asked.
Maso grinned with obvious satisfaction. "Prepare to be amazed! It's Lord Edgar Rozen, no less!"
Wataru's companion, Mariel, gasped. "Wait, the Edgar Rozen? The Duke and General?"
Maso nodded, clearly enjoying their reactions. Even his other companions, Air and Closhe, showed surprise.
