Michael looked at the chocolate merchants, and they nodded in confirmation.
"It is true, Michael. Our main customer base is mostly Squires and Knights from the Order. They were the reason why chocolate spread so fast in Angora City, and why our products were quickly sold out after just a few days," said the veteran peddler.
"You don't know how popular chocolate is in our circle," said Sir Jon. "After you guys left, chocolate became some sort of a mythical product in our city. Those who were able to buy one before it sold out were able to sell it for ten times the original price they bought it for.
Of course, most refused to sell it at all. After all, we didn't know when we were going to get chocolate again."
Michael knew chocolate would be a bestseller, but he didn't know the reaction for it would be so maniacal. Ten times its original value? He wouldn't have believed it if not for the look of excitement and seriousness in the Knight's eyes.
