"I say to the merchants who come to Vulcania. I'll collect the furnishings from the castle, and if they suit Clarice's taste, I'll give them a prize when I buy them. Let's make it an event to check the rating of the merchants for their discernment. We Barca aside, the Grahams are a family of knights with a long history. If we are recognized as connoisseurs by them, the merchants will be motivated to search for their wares. What do you think?"

Hm? It's a miniature Barca Castle that we built as a prototype before we built this castle. You see, if you pull the end like this, it splits into two parts. If you hold it up to the light like this, you can see how the stained glass in the audience chamber is illuminated. Amazing, isn't it?"
