Earl Canmond was staring at Count Siegfried with a grim expression. 

"So Earl Canmond would like me to purchase your wool?" Count Siegfried looked at the documents in his hand. "And the amount of the purchase is not small either. You should know that it's hard for me to raise this much money to purchase the wool, right?"

Earl Canmond bit his lips. "I'm aware of how much money you need to fork out. However, please remember that this is beneficial for you as well."

"Beneficial for me? How come?"

"The wool's price will return to normal soon."
