Seeing Will run in, Ed finally felt a little relieved.
"Will, why did it take you so long to get back?" Ed gestured for Will to sit down and talk.
"My lord, we stayed at the market for a few extra days, so we are late in returning."
After Will sat down, he took a large jar from one of the people behind him and handed it to Adelaide.
"Miss Adelaide, here is your honey."
Adelaide grabbed the large jar as if she had found an old item that had been lost for many years.
Ed was amused by her actions. Actually, finding honey was very simple for Ed; he could build beehives and raise bees professionally. He could enjoy honey all year round.
However, this reduces the sense of anticipation, and Adelaide wouldn't be this happy just after receiving this jar of honey.
Seeing Adelaide's silly grin, Ed decided to tease her.
"Adelaide, you took the bees' food; they will be very sad."
Adelaide put down the honey jar. "Really? I didn't take it. Sad bees should look for the person who took their food."
Adelaide's statement seems reasonable; it wasn't her who took the food. The one who takes their food is the one who upsets the bees.
Ed suddenly remembered the conversation he hadn't finished with Carly earlier.
"Carly, for example, this sad bee, say it in another language you know."
"sad bee"
"Carly, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about other languages?" Ed asked, puzzled.
"Lord Edd, it really is Sad Bee, I remember it very clearly."
Ed wasn't sure if he was right or wrong, but he really shouldn't have read novels when he was in school!
Fortunately, they didn't know the meaning of the sound, which made Ed somewhat relieved.
After glancing at the serious-looking Carly, Ed turned his gaze back to Will.
"Will, have the letters been delivered?"
"Yes, we found Miss Carly's father and gave him the gloves you awarded Miss Carly."
After saying that, Will quickly took out a letter from his pocket.
"Miss Carly, this is your father's reply."
Carly took the letter but did not open it immediately.
"Thank you, Will, for going to all this way to deliver the letter and the things."
Carly bowed to Will.
"No, no, it's nothing." Will quickly got up.
Will was somewhat touched, and he took out another round object from his pocket.
"My lord, this is a type of copper coin currently in use at the market. It was given to me by Carly's father. It's very convenient to use this for trading now, as I don't need to carry much else. That honey was bought with this."
Ed took the copper coin from Will and weighed it in his hand. It was very light, probably because the coin was small. The coin itself was also quite simple and crudely made.
"Will, do you have any silver coins?" Although Ed knew Will couldn't possibly have any, he still asked, just in case some idiot dropped some and Will happened to find it.
"My lord, I have no silver coins. I've been wandering the market for days and haven't seen any transactions made with silver coins. But my lord, I bought this with this copper coin." As he spoke, Will took out some small black stones.
Ed was speechless. Why was he acting like Doraemon, constantly bringing out treasures? Couldn't he just do it all at once?
"My lord, the people selling this stuff say it's grape seeds. They say it tastes delicious and can be used to make wine. They say only noble lords can afford to drink wine."
Adelaide also looked over curiously.
"So these are grape seeds. They don't look very appealing!"
